I really like Lewis fight and personality, but the matchmakers couldn't schedule a more pivotal fight for any division than facing #11 vs. 15# in a division where the champion is waiting to face a senior citizen when they have an interim champion who is ready to fight at any moment. 

The fight is pointless for HW division and can only function as a tune-up for Derrick Lewis, at this point I would have preferred them to bet on Despaigne and put him in the Main Event vs. Lewis (ranked as #11), but to be honest I can't complain that they give Lewis the most winnable opponent in the Top 15 and I hope Lewis doesn't fumble this.

P.S: And UFC put a pivotal match for Flyweight like Nicolau vs. Kape rematch in the Apex Center. At Least the should put Nicolau vs. Kape Fight Night in Mandaley Bay Arena at Las Vegas.

Lewis has it in the bag, Nascimento had a war with Mayes, Lewis also went 5 rounds with Jailton, so I'd say Lewis gets another highlight knockout

Rather see Lewis just get subbed then to see it go 25 minutes like the Jalton fight tho, Nothing worst then heavyweight fight going long

Rooting for Lewis, Just hope it doesn’t go long

Nascimento's striking technique looks horrible even for HW, a weight class where power is prioritized over everything. Lewis' best days are behind him, but if he avoids being swarm by a big volume of Nascimento's sloppy strikes, Derick should win easily by KO with a good hand or solid combination.

I think the overall quality is the same, just the UFC don’t have to try on Apex show with ESPN deal and no crowd, so they put they’re energy in crowds show and PPV, resulting in bigger disparity of card quality then even just a few year ago.

298,299 and 300 might be the greatest 3 ppv streak ever

Buckley vs Neal/Wonderboy/Brady/magney is the main event to make. One of those 4 guys would be smart to accept if they want a free win

Easy dub for the Black Beast which probably sets up him vs. Bigi Boi. UFC probably wants to book that fight with both guys coming off a win.

Prediction Comments

Predictions: 5 of 12 Winners, 3 Perfect, 340 Points   |   Tied for 3626th

Lewis vs. Nascimento
Derrick Lewis, TKO, R1
Lewis can't lose this there's now way. At first I was hesitant, because Tai lost to Tybura & Nascimento seems to be a grappler, but Lewis' power is always there & he just came off of a bout w/ Almeida who couldn't even SUB him in the span of 5 RD's. Lewis even had some good stand-up's in the bout so nah there's no way he's getting subbed & Lewis has some knockouts in the later rounds as well which means that one punch can happen at any time> He even had Almeida on skates a time or two w/ GNP. Also Rodrigo got KO's by Chris Daukaus in under a minute. Imma take Lewis by KO as a lock. He's got 25 min to do some work. THE KO KING RETURNS

Menifield vs. Ulberg
Alonzo Menifield, DEC
Love this fight. Is it wack for me to think that Menifield actually has a solid chance tho? Could see a RD 2 KO poss or even a DEC win from the judges. Obviously Ulberg can win this tho, but I'll be mad if I don't go with my gut rn & he pulls it off. Menifield isn't KO'ing anyone crazy, he's usually taking guys like Jacoby to a DEC anyway.

Gooden vs. Jousset
Kevin Jousset, DEC
Solid pick.

Ricci vs. Torres
Tabatha Ricci, DEC
Ricci should win this. Tecia been gone for a bit & nothing is crazy impressive about her game except for her pressure.

Johnson vs. Frevola
Matt Frevola, TKO, R2
Frevola taking that chin in under 2. Johnson seems to get subbed more than KO'd tho surprisingly so a little sprinkle of cash on that ain't the worst idea. Could just see Johnson taking a mean hook & going down. Underdog pick would be Johnson by DEC tho.

Caceres vs. Woodson
Sean Woodson, DEC
At first was gonna take Caceres by SUB originally, but then I got down to cooking w/ my research & DAMN does Woodson have some fire wins under his belt. His height & reach is a huge advantage as well. Caceres' losses are not to the best either by the looks of it & wouldn't be out of the realm of possibility to see Sean snatch up a submission at any point in the fight.

Hadley vs. Johnson
Jake Hadley, DEC
Johnson has some underrated W's as well as fights that can be argued to be in his favor. He also, though has a loss to Ode which has not aged good at all. Johnson as an Underdog ain't the worst idea, but I see Hadley's prowess in skill earning him the "W" by the end of it all. A sneaky SUB by Hadley for a bet to sprinkle on ain't the worst idea.

McKinney vs. Ribovics
Esteban Ribovics, TKO, R1
Someone's getting finished for sure here. Usually if things don't go too good for McKinney within a few exchanges he's cooked. I can see Esteban getting through an early storm but def wouldn't be ocmpletely shocked to see Terrance lay his ass out either.

Hooper vs. Borshchev
Viacheslav Borshchev, TKO, R2
Could see a RD 2 TKO due to body-work by Borshchev or slick RNC SUB from Hooper in the 1st or at least within 2. I'm super impressed to have seen Borshchev keep in that fight last time out against Sadykhov. Hooper has a thin lengthy build that I don't think will be able to hold against some nasty body shots. Might end up changing before the time the fight comes around due to Hooper's length & reach and ability to get people to the ground which is Borshchev's kryptonite.

Waters vs. Goff
Trey Waters, DEC
Honestly that reach & height advantage is kind of insane. Goff is a great young & hungry fighter to pick tho.

Cortes-Acosta vs. Despaigne
Waldo Cortes-Acosta, DEC
I'll take this for now, but honestly, wouldn't be shocked to see Cortes-Acosta wrestle **** Robelis if he survives an early storm. Update: **** it, I'll take the Underdog pick ig. Again, won't be blown away if Robelis sparks him real quick in under a round.

Aldrich vs. Hardy
JJ Aldrich, DEC
Not crazy about either for a pick. Def see it going to the judge's scorecards though.
