but in fact Chandler beat only Hooker and... Tony... in my opinion he does not deserve to be in top 10, but it is what it is.

it seems Oliveira will not fight, Dustin and Justin will be in a hospital after their fight, Beneil, Fiziev and Chandler are after L.

who will he fight? Volk just had a surgery, Leon is just a dream.

Because UFC wanted to make this fight , Ikram only had one fight in the UFC early on the prelim and most known for getting KO'd by Khamzat, They wanted to make a bigger fight with Costa name, So they pulled Costa from the fight

I think this is going to be a very shocking card for a lot of people.  It would be insane if both Chimaev and Islam lose their fights to the Brazilians.  The Costa vs Chimaev fight is the most fascinating, there will be mega levels of trash talking, one of them is going to lose their credibility with the fans.  The best thing that could happen for either of these guys is that it becomes similar to a Burns vs Chimaev situation where Burns puts up a hell of a fight and actually gains fans even though he loses by decision.  But I'm afraid that someone is going to get finished in this fight instead.

Costa vs. Chimaev
Paulo Costa, TKO, R3
After seing that close back and forth war between Chimaev and Burns, I'm not that sure he can dominate at middleweight against ranked competition anymore... No disrespect to Burns, he is a killer but he used to fight at lightweight and almost (arguably) won against Chimaev, hurting him badly multiple times ! Costa is absolutely huge, hits hard, and fought at Light heavyweight ! This will answer a lot of questions, if this really happens at least.

Imavov vs. Aliskerov
Nassourdine Imavov, DEC
This is a more appropriate matchup than the Costa fight, but still a bit strange. Imavov is ranked and was dominating the Curtis fight until the unfortunate head butt... I thought he deserved another shot at a ranked opponent. Anyway, decent fight and big step up for Aliskerov..

Elliott vs. Mokaev
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Tim Elliott is crafty as hell, he can give Mokaev a tough test. Interesting matchup.
