Jack Hermansson Sweden #10 MW VS Kelvin Gastelum USA #5 MW Personally I would like to see Kelvin get some discipline and move down to 170lb but I don't see him doing that. So he will stay in a division where he is under sized and a gate keeper. The UFC better get on the marketing of Jack because he just took a fight against Jacare on a month notice and not once was in trouble with him. He has been in the UFC since 2016 and I have never heard him speak before. They gonna have to get on it because he's gonna be around. Greg Hardy USA HW VS Todd Duffee USA HW So Todd Duffee is still signed with the UFC even though he hasn't fought since 2015. He was scheduled to fight in 2017 but withdrew. Maybe a shot at a "high profile name in MMA" would be too good for Todd to pass up. I don't have an opinion on Gregs last fight expect that his opponent should be cut. Mike Perry USA WW VS James Krause USA WW I was very surprised that Perry beat Olivera. I still think that Perry is pretty limited in his abilities. Krause has been around for awhile. Lost in the TUF finale to a guy that later pissed hot, plus he left the UFC to go into the TUF house. That is weird but and he has been around and considering Perrys abilities I think this would make a good fight. Cory Sandhagen USA BW VS Cody Stamann USA #10 BW Yes Cory just beat the #8 but he is not currently ranked. Just because you beat a high ranked fighter when you are unranked doesnt mean that your next fight will be higher than the last. Whatever rank Cory is in the next update I think a fight with the #10 is a good fit. Plus I think Cory beats him which I think is good because Cody is pretty boring. Cuts Dmitrii Smolyakov Ben Saunders Andrei Arlovski Jason Gonzalez Jodie Esquibel Court McGee I was gonna do one for Bellator but I lost interest.
Don't care a whole lot for most of your match making, but I like Kelvin vs Hermansson and your cuts are 100% spot on in my opinion
I'm not changing the theme to Dark just to read this. I did select everything to have a glance and the amount of cuts you're proposing is ridiculous. And fuck Hardy vs Duffee. Hardy is being shoved down our throats worse than Conor. Duffee should just retire while he can still walk, he's a wreck. If they want to keep feeding cans and invalids to Hardy, fine, but keep that shit on the prelims!!!
Sorry I thought "dark mode" was the default. .......................... Doesnt everyone text in white? I think the cuts are good. This card was filled with the bottom tire. It's OK.
After that last article on Duffee I wouldn't count on him coming back any time soon. https://mmajunkie.com/2019/04/ufc-heavyweight-todd-duffee-details-crazy-health-scare Sure his heart wants the return, but his body is rekt beyond belief. Dude is one of the biggest what ifs since Cain. Such a shame really. RIP Todd's body.
Duffee hasn't fought in four years and has a multitude of health problems. The UFC booked a complete 0-2 tomato can for Hardy, who himself has had two UFC fights now. He should fight an actual UFC quality opponent next. Kelvin and Jack makes some sense, it'll depend on what goes on with Romero and Costa now. They can't seem to get that fight together and I think Hermansson would deserve a match with either of them. Your cuts all make sense.
