I have no idea who would be on this card but anytime the UFC goes to Australia, it's going to be a banger!

Think it silly booking both Volk and Rob vs Dricus so close to this event, Giving Volk and most likely Rob only 2 month between they’re fight and this card is bad planning, should of done the next Australia card later or made Volk and Rob fight earlier then July

Hoping for the best, but thing easily go to ****

Adesanya moves up to 205

Predictions: 10 of 12 Winners, 0 Perfect, 500 Points   |   Tied for 2933rd

Since they still haven't confirmed Jiri vs Hill, and since they have to have an Aussie/NZ fighter on this card, they're more than likely going to do Adesanya vs Hill for the 205 strap. The UFC loves to assist with Izzy's career any way possible and Hill is an easy stylistic matchup that he'll most likely win. They'd love to make Izzy a double champ as that's good for business. I'd bet lots of money that Hill vs Adesanya is the main event.

I wouldn't mind if they did Izzy vs Leon Edwards for the middleweight title then Colby vs Belal for the interim welterweight title on the same card

it'd be a great fight but I doubt they'd give Leon a shot at double champ after only one defense at 170

I don't think Araujo can duplicate the things that Maia did, even though she's lost to some of the top contenders. I think King Casey will fight for the title one day

Araujo vs. O’Neill

Casey looked horrible in her last fight, but I think she gets it done. I won’t pick this fight tell fight week though.

Stop overlooking  Tai. Volkov has bad IQ and horrible wrestling offense. Volkov will shoot a takedown against the cage and will get Knocked out cold. Tai in round 1. It may not look like it. But Tai is way more athletic than volkov. Volkov ran a 7.63 second 60 yard. While Tai ran a 6.24
