Why are they doing Smith vs Spann again?? Also I think Blanchfield vs Santos should be the Co-Main over that fight...

Smith vs Spann 1 was a good fight but like what is the point of this fight. Smith won the first fight pretty dominantly

My guess getting the last bit of tread of Smiths tires maybe boost a spaz like Span he is so fast and explosive he could catch slow Smith.
The stripper failed to ko Smith so maybe his chin is not completely gone, time will tell.

Speaking as someone who picked Blanchfield to beat Andrade, I hope they make Santos the underdog. Blanchfield won't win this one

Smith vs. Spann II

Predictions: 12 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 680 Points   |   Tied for 902nd

@AyyLmaonnaise 
I can see why some might question this matchup given Smith's dominant win in their first bout, but Spann is an explosive fighter and may have made adjustments that could turn this rematch around.

@_Vis_ 
This has the potential to be a dark horse. Both have shown grit and technical prowess in their recent fights. Santos' takedown defense might prove crucial if Blanchfield decides to bring the fight to the ground.

Holloway vs. Korean Zombie

Predictions: 12 of 13 Winners, 2 Perfect, 680 Points   |   Tied for 902nd

@kushycake 
On the note of Holloway's finishes, it's true that he hasn't had a finish since 2017, but his volume striking can wear down any opponent. If the Zombie can't disrupt his rhythm, I see Holloway taking this one via decision.

Getting a little better with guys like Bedoya and Kino****a on the card. 

I feel like a Singapore card without one of Taira or the Iron Turtle just feels wrong but neither of those guys can make a quick enough turn around for this event. 

I'm gonna assume we get at least 1-2 if not more of the Road to UFC guys to fill out this card (Anshul Jubli, Jeong Yeong Lee, Rinya Nakamura, and/or Hyung Sung Park).

Smith vs. Spann II
Ryan Spann, TKO, R1
This is a waste of both of them. If they absolutely wanted to put Anthony Smith in a rematch against another fading ranked Light Heavyweight, I think the Volkan Oezdemir would have been better. Their first battle was kinda epic, and Volkan was destroying Smith on the feet and on the ground for 3 or 4 rounds before he exhausted himself and got caught by a half ass submission.
