I don't know man...Dumas looked like a fraud in his last fight. He looked confused as to how to react and respond in certain situations

DUMAS looked horrible in his last fight. You can tell this is possibly a loser leave town situation. UFC might cut Dumas if he looks like that again in this fight. Soriano isn't going anywhere at this point in his UFC career. He's taken a ton of damage. He had some hype at one point when he got that brutal KO to close out 2019

I'm a fan of Puna, but unless he makes some massive improvements his entire UFC career will be a top 50 gatekeeper.

1) He has wrestling so he should improve upon it and use it as a primary weapon
2) He needs to stop trying to counter jabs with hooks incessantly as it's too predictable

Great matchup and going to be super fun with Soriano/Dumas - I think standing up Dumas can get back on track but if Soriano uses his actual skillset more he can further derail Dumas big time.

Taira -315 Rodrigues +265 ML is my take 

If the line is shallower than that I will bet huge

Unless Josh is washed this is a much better fight for him than everyone seems to think.

Emmett vs. Topuria
Ilia Topuria, TKO, R2
Josh seems like a cool dude and has some solid wins in his career. But Topuria is younger and better skill for skill (except maybe power where they may be relatively even). Topuria is just gonna do his thing where he opens Emmett up with body shots and then tee off on his dome.

Ribas vs. Barber
Amanda Ribas, DEC
Ribas is better everywhere. She can dominate wherever the fight goes.

Soriano vs. Dumas
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R1
I was impressed with Dumas on DWCS but I think he got exposed hard in the Fremd fight. He doesn't seem to know how to use his reach advantage and he doesn't handle adversity well.

This guy should be in jail, not in the UFC. He has a long history of arrests and assault on women. I’ll be rooting for Soriano to knock his ***** ass out and send him packing back to the regional circuit.

Yes he is much better hitting women civilians and poorly rapping.
He will be platinum artist for sure after a few good ko losses.
Probably have a weed line soon too.
