Either he got sick due to cutting too much weight or didn’t want to fight melk. I would ordinarily say he was ducking but Garcia is such a massive weight bully he probably feinted due to weight cut and got sick

Arman Tsarukyan, TKO, R2
If anyone could be a difficult challenge for Islam Makhachev, it is without a doubt Arman Tsarukyan: excellent Combat Sambo background, the most dangerous ground and pound in the weight class and a really good evolution in striking since his days in Tiger Muay Thai, added to the fact that Now he has his coaches from Russia added to the American Top Team staff (led by Marcos Parrumpa). Benny shows his excellent grappling defense against Gamrot and won this fights beacuse his dominance in the striking department, but Tsarukyan has a much better level of striking compared to Gamrot. I pick Arman Tsarukyan to win by Shocking KO with his striking in the second round making his way for a title shot (although clearly Oliveira and Gaethje are first in line).
Brady vs. Gastelum
Kelvin Gastelum, TKO, R3
Gastelum is having a good time: he saves his work after his win over Curtis, when he announced his return to the welterweights he contacted Dana White's nutritionist to do the process correctly. Brady seems like an excellent grappler to me and shows good leg kicks against Belal, he wouldn't know how to rate Brady's Cardio because he has a broken nose against Chiesa from the second round and Abu Dhabi could have been affected by Jet Lag. As for the fight, I think Gastelum has a great opportunity to enter the Top 10 at 170 pounds: he will not have a considerable disadvantage in height and reach as MW, he's going to have the same size compared to Brady and he has a good base of Wrestling and training with Cejudo at Fight Ready MMA. Brady's opportunity is to take the fight to the ground and achieve a submission in the first half of the fight, if the fight remains standing for a long time: Gastelum has huge KO Power and Brady striking defense is No Good. I pick Gastelum to win by KO in Round 2 or 3.
Garcia vs. Costa
Melquizael Costa, TKO, R1
Costa has KO Power and a good Muay Thai base that means he has many weapons in the standing fight. Garcia has Power in his hands and heart but he doesn't have good durability: in the past he was knocked down 2 times by Ontiveros (Ontiveros only lands 7 next strikes during the fight) and was brutally knocked out with a counter punch by Mahareste . Garcia was dropped by 3 of his 5 UFC opponents and the only fighters who did not knock him down were Chase Hooper and Luis Pena (2 grapplers). Costa gonna find his moment in the second half of the first round and knocks Garcia out.
Potieria vs. Bellato
Rodolfo Bellato, TKO, R2
Despite having a Combat Sambo background and some KO Power, Ihor has poor cardio, poor striking technique and is ineffective at grappling both offensively and defensively. Bellato has proven to have good striking and grappling, he won his UFC contract after breaking Murtaza Talha with a good volume of punches at close range. Bellato needs to be careful in the first round, but after this I see him winning by TKO at the moment that Poteria gets tired and ends up in bad positions when trying unorthodox strikes, I think that this will be Ihor's last fight before being cut by UFC and that Bellato will begin his path to a potential trilogy against Petrino when both reach the Top 15.

Beneil Dariush, DEC
Dariush by dad power. He's proven, experienced fighter, could be in top5. Tsarukyan gasses in later rounds, seems to rely on his raw force to much, not very smart. Also he's russian
Turner vs. Green
Bobby Green, DEC
I want to believe. Turner is much more dangerous on the feet but is coming on short notice and King seems on fire lately
Font vs. Figueiredo
Rob Font, TKO, R2
Could Figgy neutralize Font like Sandhagen did? I doubt that, otherwise dont see good ways to victory for him against bigger and better striker
Brady vs. Gastelum
Sean Brady, SUB, R3
Kelvin will kill him on the feet, but can he deny wrestling for 2+ rounds?
Guida vs. Silva
Joaquim Silva, TKO, R2
I like Guida but honestly his path to victory through clinch and control seems to boring to support
Soriano vs. Stoltzfus
Punahele Soriano, TKO, R2
Wow only 7% for Dustin
Tate vs. Avila
Julia Avila, SUB, R1
Ancient woman against slightly younger and better looking woman
Solecki vs. Klose
Joe Solecki, SUB, R2
I think Klose will win but i somehow like Solecki more
Potieria vs. Bellato
Rodolfo Bellato, TKO, R1
Potieria is coming from Kyiv like me, but i dont think it's increasing his chances

Bobby Green, TKO, R2
I hope Turner wins but he hasn't looked good in his last two fights. Bobby has very good boxing.
Solecki vs. Klose
Drakkar Klose, DEC
I can't pick someone that lost to Jared Gordon, by decision.
Turman vs. Gooden
Wellington Turman, SUB, R1
Gordon will swing wildy because he is trash. Turman will want to get in close. Tie him up and choke him out.
