It is too early for Volk to return after the KO Loss against Makhachev, put Topuria in this card against Ortega because this is going to be an Easy win for Topuria against the Top 3 and finally UFC will be able to remove Ortega from the Top 5 who only fights practically once for the year since his loss against Holloway and is 1-3 since then, Ortega is a Top 10 at best and in my opinion Topuria, Evloev, Allen and Mitchell can clearly beat him. Ortega has a really good management: he always fan the way to only fight fighter above him in the ranking and never have to defend his spot despite he last win was in 2020.

Pennington vs. Bueno Silva
Raquel Pennington, DEC
This is a pick'em fight in my opinion. This is new blood in MBS versus a returning title challenger in Raquel Pennington. I am going with Pennington here because of her experience and her ability to win the minutes with her superior boxing and wrestling. But she is going to have to be on her Ps and Qs to win this fight because MBS will be swinging bungalows and trying to snatch up subs every second of this fight until the end.

This is the best they can do with the talent at women 135lb, All the talent in WMMA is in the 115lb and 125lb division,  really hope they're some cool up and comer because that division is so dull

Really hope Myra wins, She more interesting. this dull division don't need a dull champion

I have a feeling the fight won’t happen now because Ariel is the one who announced it. Dana won’t let it happen out of spite

 Islam Makhachev vs Charles Oliveira is apparently Fake News...which means Volkanovski and Topuria is still on the table for Toronto :D

Pennington vs Bueno Silva it's not official. I don't see the fight announced on any official UFC social media. All the websites talk about the fight but there is no officialization by UFC.
