[HCS]

I'd like to see Robocop vs Izzy. I think it might be fun.

 

[Dorkman]

Weird spot for Jared. Of all the fighters above him in the rankings, the only 2 he hasn't fought are about to fight each other for the strap it seems. So he dosen't really have any fresh options looking upwards. Maybe a strickland rematch where their last one was close? Rodrigues vs Costa sounds fun.

Realistically though Rodrigues might want to look at 205. He was huge, and his stamina was terrible.

 

[Koala]

Jared Cannonier vs winner of Allen vs Fluffy - He needs new challengers as he fought guys above him and no rematch that really strikes as pure entertainment
Gregory Rodrigues vs Menifield at LHW - 7-3 in the UFC but still a good fighter who could have been ranked. Too many MWs could be ranked while LHWs have a top 15 test with 2 wins. Let's move up and fight #15 Menifield

Youssef Zalal vs Giga Chikadze (win or lose) - I like Zalal's comeback, and that he fights differently with different types of fighters. Let's see him with a kickboxer
Calvin Kattar vs Brito - Lost to a kickboxer after losing to a grappler, let match him with a boxer outside the rankings

Edmen Shahbazyan vs loser of Abus Magomedov vs Michel Pereira, who's the king of R1
Dylan Budka - Cut, no idea what he was doing in the UFC
Andre Petroski vs Ryan Loder - Wrestler vs wrestler
Rodolfo Vieira vs Mansur Abdul Malik with a win

Nazim Sadykhov vs Michael Johnson - I think he got lucky and he's not that good
Ismael Bonfim vs Nurullo Aliev - Aliev needs this type of fighter to have a good fight

Jose Delgado vs Buzukja - One step up with someone who has 1-2 wins in the UFC
Connor Matthews - 0-2 in the UFC, cut

Angela Hill vs Amorim with a win - Gatekeeper to the top 15
Ketlen Souza vs Bruna Brasil

Rafael Estevam vs Kai Asakura - OK, I know it's a high profile for him but Asakura was clueless on the ground and he's ranked 14 in a division with not that many good wrestlers
Jesus Aguilar vs Clayton Carpenter - Both just lost to good fighters

Gabriel Bonfim vs Vicente Luque - I think he's good enough to fight a ranked opponent
Khaos Williams vs Puna Soriano

Elijah Smith vs Gaston Bolanos - Can he build a win on something else than speed?
Vince Morales vs Dan Argueta - Loser leaves the UFC

Valter Walker vs Gaziev - the first round will be good
Don’Tale Mayes - Cut, clueless on the wrestling and grappling

Jacqueline Cavalcanti vs Aldana - Cavalcanti is winning all her fights because she has a longer reach and better boxing. Let test if she has anything else
Julia Avila - Retired

 

[Neck&Neck]

Obamacop needs to move up or look for a trade over to GFL

 

[Shadey1]

Julia Avila - Enjoy Retirement.
Jacqueline Cavalcanti vs. Yana Santos - Good win for Cavalcanti. I think this is a good next step for her.
Don’Tale Mayes vs. Tai Tuivasa - Both men have losing streaks and are in need of a win. Must win fight for both to stay ranked.
Valter Walker vs. Shamil Gaziev - Two heavyweights coming off first round finishes.
Vince Morales vs. Quang Le - Loser leaves UFC.
Elijah Smith vs. Bernardo Sopaj - Let's see who can make it two straight in the UFC.
Khaos Williams vs. Themba Gorimbo - Rebound fight for both men.
Gabriel Bonfim vs. Rinat Fakhretdinov - Let's rebook the original fight.
Jesús Santos Aguilar vs. Clayton Carpenter - Rebound fight for both men.
Rafael Estevam vs. Jafel Filho - Think this is a good fight for both men.
Ketlen Souza vs. Luana Pinheiro - I thought Ketlen won if I'm honest. This is a good next step.
Angela Hill vs. Robertson/Rodriguez winner - Think this is a solid next step for Hill after her win.
Connor Matthews vs. Kaan Ofli - Loser leaves UFC.
Jose Delgado vs. Bogdan Grad - lets see who can go 2-0 in the UFC.
Rodolfo Vieira vs. Robert Bryczek - Rebound fight for both men.
Andre Petroski vs. Bo Nickal - Decent call out. Let's make it happen.
Ismael Bonfim vs. Anshul Jubli - Both coming off stoppage losses. Makes sense to me.
Nazim Sadykhov vs. Nurullo Aliev - See who can remain unbeaten in UFC.
Dylan Budka - Cut - 0-3 in UFC.
Edmen Shahbazyan vs. Ismail Naurdiev - I think this is a good next fight for both Edmen and Ismail.
Calvin Kattar vs. Edson Barboza - Two veterans in need of a win to stay in the rankings.
Youssef Zalal vs. Bryce Mitchell - Zalal enters the rankings with his win. I think this is a good next step.
Gregory Rodrigues vs. Chris Curtis - Rebound fight for both men coming off tough losses.
Jared Cannonier vs. Hernandez/Allen winner - Good win for Jared to get back on track. I think this is a good next bout.

 

[Limeade]

Edmen Shahbazyan vs Rodolfo Vieira

He looked good. Was that a pull counter right hand against his opponent's double jab? Did he also improve his grappling? Let's find out.

 

[Objectively Correct]

where is @Siver! s thread?

I'd like to see Cannonier vs. Hernandez.

Forgot they'd fought haha.

 

[Necrocrawler]

Craig x Vieira is actually a good scrap.
It's quite a competitive one tbh
Vieira can take Craig down, but i doubt he sub him... Thus he probably tires himself out, giving a possbility for Craig (who will probably be a massive underdog) to pull the upset.
