Bondar pulled out, Josh Van stepping in his place. Way tougher fight for bunes but should be fireworks

Daaaaaaamn. Van should win. He's so talented and fun to watch. Had Bunes picked over Bondar, but mainly because Bondar is a can. Bunes isn't all that great

If Van ****s around on the ground he could get caught, but other than that he should win comfortably I think.

yeah bunes has a lot of holes but hes a really fun fighter. I was looking forward to him styling on bondar, so it stings a little knowing that hes pretty much guaranteed a loss here. regardless this should be a great fight, bunes will gladly stand & bang with van

Matt may find a way to lose he is good and that, if ko does not happen.

Jean Silva, TKO, R2
Huge size difference makes me wonder could be upset esp with a regional guy on crackhead odds.

Nolan vs. Motta
Tom Nolan, TKO, R2
Tom Nolan isn't the high level striker you think. He has half the experience most guys have coming into the ufc. He tends to swarm with striking volume which leaves openings. Motta ko'd Joe Soleki and Cameron Van Camp. Tom also gets taken down but quickly transitions. I can see a ko on either side or a volume decision for Nolan.

@AyyLmaonnaise 
on the feet Bunes dont have any chance
but on the ground...
Van lose Devon Jackson by sub
its really bad
Bunes have grappling
but Van show progress on the ground in his last fight
for me hard predict accurate chance Bunes win by sub
its more or less 10% ?

@ufc his wrestling isn’t that good & that’s the issue with van, so he should be fine here. If this does go to the ground, bunes prefers to either play off of his back, or go for a submission. Van has good enough fight iq that he won’t play bjj with him and if bunes tries one of his flying submissions, Van is just gonna buck him off or slam him

Van just should keeping distance and dont play clinch and grappling games with Bunes

Chiasson will likely beat Vieira, so I'm hoping the +180 line stays where it is so I can parlay it with some props. Also, betting Basharat here at -250 is plain stupid; people must not know who Lapilus is. Maybe the bookies will give us decent odds on the over 2.5 rds for that fight though

McGhee vs. Bolaños
Marcus McGhee, SUB, R2
Marcus fights like Nolan and pressures with head shots. Gaston generates more power with short accurate strikes and will make him pay for entries. Marcus will have to go for body locks to drag him down. A fight like this could see an early stoppage, doctor stoppage, late stoppage, no stoppage. A pure striking match favors Gaston.
