Vini is gonna maul a gassed Kyler.

 

[Neck&Neck]

 

[Nihongi]

Why does Kyler look like someone used a baby filter on Clay Guida?

 

[Siver!]

Picked Lok Dog against Said, no reason to pick against him here.

Dude is as good as advertised.

 

[fortheo]

I would have liked to see Lok dog get a bigger step up, but this should be a fun fight while it lasts.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Poirier and max are cool but this PPV is looking like a fight night doesn't have any important top contenders at all yet.

I figured the Ricky Simon fight was too big a step up after the Sopaj opener, lol

Beating Simon, Said and Phillips would seem like a series of side steps, I agree, but that would be his 4-fight contract done and presumably he'll get a very good offer if he wins here. At that point, it's time to fight the best in the division for a reasonable amount of money.

 

[swarrrm]

It's crazy how even with a full beard he still looks like a woman

 

[Trupsi]

Yeah Philipps gives some Conchita Wurst vibes...

Lok Dog is an exiting fighter, glad to see him back.

To be fair, it's still two months away and only two main card fights have been announced so far.

From a sporting and merit perspective, I'm okay with this phillips match up. It's just that I find lok dog very exciting and I thought the UFC might want to push him a bit faster than they are. Either way, you're right -- if he wins this he's getting some big fights.

To be fair, it's still two months away and only two main card fights have been announced so far.

They've already booked 9 of the fights, it wouldn't surprise me if the PPV is:
Max vs Dustin
Comain
Marvin vs Allen
Rebas vs Ricci
Kyler vs vinicius or magny vs nelson

I'd be pretty surprised if Phillips vs Lok Dog was on the main card TBH. Not shocked, but it seems unlikely.

 

[jeskola]

Kyler looking like Jonathan Van Ness

 

[Koala]

I think it's a bad matchup for Kyler Phillips

 

[HuskySamoan]

Vini is gonna maul a gassed Kyler.

Before Kyler gasses it could be really good though. One of the worst examples of a gas tank holding a guy back I've ever seen.

 

[The_Renaissance]

Fucking love this fight, awesome matchup. Think Oliveira wins, I'm really high on that guy, so good to watch.

 

[Danespina]

Vinicius Oliveira is 3-0 in the UFC .
Last win was against Said Nurmagomedov.
First win was this...

 

[TriangleMonkey]

Kyler could shave his beard and do wmma
