I hope the UFC gives Kape a 5 round main event first before the title shot. I think him vs. Moreno is a great fight. If Moreno get can by two guys as good as Albazi and Kape, I think you have to give him a title shot no matter what after that. 

I think Albazi has a good shot in this fight, so we'll see. Him winning would certainly make the division interesting since he's one of only a few that Pantoja hasn't fought already.

Altamirano vs. dos Santos
Victor Altamirano, DEC
I think people are slightly overrating Dos Santos because of his fight with Kape. I'm going with Altamirano's UFC experience and both fighter's tendency to fight to close decisions + that boy fights out Texas.

Agreed; with Pantoja having 3 wins over Moreno, Moreno needs another win after this one regardless IMO.

And Kape shouldn't get a Title shot off a rematch/Nicolau.

+Pantoja also deserves a little break while the UFC gets the Flyweight division sorted at the very top.

Ain't it weird that in the main and co-mains of this event, there are two Americans trying to get revenge on Mexicans who won after a shoulder injury in their last encounters?

Really hoping Ziam looks nothing like he did his last time out.

I gotta go with Naimov simply because of his recent activity and UFC experience.

Cháirez vs. Lacerda
Edgar Cháirez, SUB, R1
Same as last time. Update: Even quicker though.

Altamirano vs. dos Santos
Felipe dos Santos, DEC
Homie hung in there w/ Kape & did fairly well all things considered.

Jauregui vs. Hughes
Yazmin Jauregui, DEC
Yazmin getting that DEC or KO win undoubtedly.

Torres vs. Duncan
Manuel Torres, TKO, R1
Torres by 1st RD finish easyyy. Excited for this one. Big up & coming prospects here.

Rodríguez vs. Bondar
Denys Bondar, SUB, R1
I'm taking the underdog here!

Naimov vs. Silva
Muhammad Naimov, SUB, R2
Naimov by money-line is a good pick for sure. Silva seems to choke towards the end of the fight quite literally.

Moreno vs. Royval II
Brandon Moreno, DEC
Royval is always dangerous, but it's hard not to see Moreno pull this off. I could also see him getting a 3rd - 4th RD TKO as well.

Rodriguez vs. Ortega II
Yair Rodriguez, DEC
I like Ortega but damn he needs to get his **** together. That ring rust is gonna be a MAJOR factor here. Yair has more ways to win & if Ortega isn't defensively minded, I can even see a late DR STOPPAGE due to all the damage.

Rosas Jr. vs. Turcios
Raul Rosas Jr., DEC
SUB is always a possibility for someone as dangerous as Rosas Jr. , but my guts telling me a DEC rn.

Puelles vs. Ziam
Claudio Puelles, SUB, R1
Was gonna go w/ Ziam & might change my pick later, but 3 of his 4 losses are by 1st RD SUB & w/ his going against Puelles that's def gonna be an outlying stat in the fight.
