I'm happy with what they're doing with Bo Nickal, I'm against fighter being sign to the UFC with less then 7 fights or under the age of 23 unless they're a phenom because UFC shouldn't be the place where you get experience, Bo Nickal is good enough to get experience in the UFC, And even tho he could beat better fighter, Isn't it better to let him beat a few people to get better at MMA, Then he can have his shot at the big boys of the division without less chance of him getting ruin

I think sometime MMA fans need some patience

Moreno is the rightful champ. Tempting to go underdog but I think it's Moreno's time to reign

Figueiredo vs. Kape
Manel Kape, TKO, R1
smart move by Deiveson to avoid 135. I think he gets destroyed at 135. Irregardless I still think Kape beats him here. Glad the UFC is angling behind Kape here.

Yeah stipe keeps making excuses as to why he doesn’t want to fight despite begging for a title shot for the last three years. I think CTE has gotten to him

Moreno vs. Pantoja III
Brandon Moreno, DEC
Is flyweight this thin oops double entendre lmao yep

Figueiredo vs. Kape
Deiveson Figueiredo, SUB, R2
Official prediction is as follows both miss weight 2lb or a kilo to 5lbs Figs wars with Manel maybe someone gets dropped Figs subs as Manel is not good.

My guess is figgy came to the realization that he probably doesn’t win anything at 135. It’s either lose every fight/ every fight is an unfavorable matchup vs 50/50 chance he makes it to fight night

Figgy said he’s having 3 more at 125.

He drains himself to much to make 125, he should of moved to 135 regardless if it’s harder comp. 

Kape kos him.

Volkanovski vs. Rodriguez
Yair Rodriguez, TKO, R4
I know i'm in the minority here, but I feel Yair is improving so much recently (improved takedown defense, way better cardio and much more precise and intelligent with his striking ) he might be able to catch Volkanovski standing. Volk is a monster of course, but he likes a little bit too much to brawl, and it might be a bad idea against the upward elbow killer...

Moreno vs. Pantoja III
Brandon Moreno, DEC
Such a good a deserved title fight for Pantoja, having already defeated the champ twice... But Moreno is a different beast now !
