This is a fun one.

I'm really enjoying the "Fighting Nerds" team.

It'll be interesting to see if Cannonier can bounce back, he usually does after a loss, but time is getting away from him.

 

[sutherland]

Good fight!
Borrahlo 2nd rd sub

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Interesting matchup !

 

[Dorkman]

Big step up for borralho. Should be a fun one.

 

[Spath]

Solid fight. Big step up for Borralho and final chance for Cannonier to put a title run together.

I think Borralho takes it via decision.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Huge step up for Borralho. Don't think he's ready.

 

[MisfitsBR]

I wanted to see Borrachinha vs Borralho as he suggest one time in a brazillian interview, but this is even a bigger step up for Caio, let's gooooo

I remember some people said it was a bad call out because Cannonier was about to fight Imavov, but... it's gonna happen!

 

[Bubzeh]

Interesting scrap. Tempted to go Jared here. Hope the betting odds are good.

Ooph, huge fight for both.

The way these types of fights have been going, it's hard to dismiss Jared here... Caio has his work cut out for him!

 

[Tohm]

I think Cannonier wins this one

Love to see a guy call his shot and get it. Love that Borralho is getting to main event. Opportunity to show he can go for 5 and also carry the media obligations with being a Headliner. Cannonier is now in that part of his career where he'll need to defeat multiple up and comers to earn a shot to fight up.

Caio finally getting a real step up

 

[Ares Black]

Huge step up for Borralho. Don't think he's ready.

He's as ready as he'll ever be, IMO. He's 31, 6-0 in the UFC (8-0 if you count Contender Series) and on a 15 fight winning streak overall.

He is in his absolute prime right now. If he can't beat Cannonier now I don't think he ever would.

Apex getting some decent main events, something that has seemed to be lacking lately.

Borralho vs. Cannonier
Brady vs. Burns
Royval vs. Taira
Pereira vs. Hernandez

I think he will beat cannonier and it'll look so easy we wont be convinced by him. We'll all think it's cannonier that has fallen off (fair)

I have a feeling this post will age well.

Thank God. I thought it was gonna be meerschaert vs shahbazyan

 

[Hezekiah]

Borralho is a dangerous fighter, but if this gets to the later rounds I see him gassing and getting punished.

 

[EndlessCritic]

Perfect matchup. Great main event.
