Turman at 170?!? Couldn't even visualize that being a possibility - didn't see that coming, but tapology shows he has been at 170 before...crazy.

Brown vs. Turman
Randy Brown, TKO, R2
Turman is a decent dog if he can implement wrestling early and stay on Brown, but think Randy will find a KO early.

Emmett vs. Topuria
Josh Emmett, TKO, R3
Topuria looks unstoppable, but still, this is a HUGE step up against a dangerous man... Honestly I'm surprised he's that much of a favourite against Emmett. Very intriguing match up anyway.

Rodrigues vs. Tiuliulin
Gregory Rodrigues, TKO, R2
Robocop is so much fun to watch, win or lose it's always a war.

Tafa vs. Lane
Justin Tafa, TKO, R2
Oh yeah, Austen Lane is that American Football guy who lost by brutal KO against Greg Hardy on the Contender Serie a few years ago... He rebonded nicely, and seems a bit more complete now, but still, this is a bad bad loss that aged very poorly. His chin will definitely be tested by Tafa.

@Brandonk - I agree

This card being on network TV – I see several of these fights not going the distance. UFC putting together bangers for the causal masses

Holy smokes Victor Martinez is getting absolutely FED. Imagine getting knocked out by the Monkey King and then getting told your follow up fight is against Trevor Peek? My man is down so bad.

Emmett is a very dangerous opponent and a nice step up in competition for Topuria that I expect for him to pass with flying colors.

I stopped questioning how good Topuria was after seeing him finish Damn Jackson. That was the moment for me where I realized he was probably going to be the future FW champ. He's only continued to look better since then.

For me, he is without question the most under-rated pound for pound fighter in the promotion and maybe in all of MMA. Topuria absolutely falls into that category of guys that "everyone claims they'll fight but nobody actually signs on the dotted line when officially asked". It was only a matter of time before he got a top 5 opponent.

Topuria probably wins by sub and then fights the winner of Yair/Volk no questions asked.

Idk why but I just don’t believe Topuria is going to be FW champ yet. I guess I still have to see more. Obviously excited for his FW presence

@brandonk I don't want to be disrespectful or anything like that, but saying it's "laughable" for some of us to pick Emmett by KO (against whoever for that matter) is really strange...

Is it the most likely outcome ? Not sure about that, but laughable ?
I mean, have you ever watch the man fight at all ? He can lose 99 % of a fight then kill the opponent out cold with one punch.

While I won't be surprise at all to see Topuria win, or even dominate the fight, a brutal KO win by Emmett, out of nowhere,  is absolutely possible, and if you don't agree with that statement, I just really hope you're not betting on fights (well in fact I don't care about your money, but you got my point).

Topuria's best win is BY FAR against the very limited Bryce Mitchell, so while he looks great thus far, he's pretty unproven against elite competition yet...

Let's just see how it goes, without "laughing" at other people reasonnable picks.
