It will be a great addition to the May 22 card imo. With, Font vs Cody and Carla vs Xiaonan as main and co-main, the card needs help.

Ismagulov is a really good fighter; especially with his jab and low kicks.

The real mystery is why Ismagulov is fighting a guy making his debut instead of getting a ranked opponent.

Yes. One of those tough young Russian guys, who I thought would be a contender by now. He hasn't been that active for a year.

Looks like a tune up fight and trying to get his feet wet again due to his inactivity. And I agree that he should be facing the likes of CDF and Gillespe atm.

He's coming off a pretty major injury and a long period of inactivity to be fair. I think a fight like this makes sense and if he deals with Alves comfortably then get him a ranked opponent.
