This guys good the card's only been over for 30 seconds

 

[GibsterMMA]

According to DC MVP said he’s down to fight Prates at 170 in Rio

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Khamzat vs boralho or Strickland.

Depending on whether the ufc wants money or the hardest challenger

 

[Yabadabaev]

This guys good the card's only been over for 30 seconds

he writes between the fights not all at once

 

[JoeRowe]

Khamzat vs boralho or Strickland.

Depending on whether the ufc wants money or the hardest challenger

Caio obviously isn't a money fight, what makes him the hardest challenger? His only ranked win vs now non-top10 40 year old Cannonier?

 

[Rio Ferdinand]

Caio obviously isn't a money fight, what makes him the hardest challenger? His only ranked win vs now non-top10 40 year old Cannonier?

I mean it’s a pretty weak division right now. No real tough challengers on the horizon. I suppose it’s either the winner of Caio/imavov or Strickland.

 

[Koala]

Khamzat Chimaev vs Reinier de Ridder, or the winner of Imavov vs Bo Rayo if something spectacular happens
Dricus du Plessis vs Fluffy Hernandez - Fight night main event in Africa
Lerone Murphy vs Alexander Volkanovski - He has a highlight like Yair and a long winning streak like Evloev
Aaron Pico vs Dan Ige - Let's test him against someone who has fought everybody to see where he sticks
Carlos Prates vs MVP in Rio - He wants to fight in Rio. MVP wants to fight him there
Geoff Neal vs Kevin Holland 2
Jared Cannonier vs Paulo Costa
Tim Elliott vs Steve Erceg
Kai Asakura vs Andre Lima - Japs will continue to make fun of Japan Tap Team. Change gym: Alpha Male, ATT, or any other gym with grappling coaches. Andre Lima is 4-0 in the UFC with no hype, while Kai is 0-2 with a ton of hype
Michal Oleksiejczuk vs Bruno Ferreira - The guy is 8-7 in the UFC; he's not fighting in the rankings. Ferreira is also a good win some lose some guy with a streak against low-level fighters. Let's make them face
Gerald Meerschaert vs a DWCS newcomer
Baisangur Susurkaev vs Torrez Finney
Eric Nolan vs a DWCS newcomer at WW. He's not a bad fighter
Loopy Godinez vs Iasmin Lucindo
Jessica Andrade vs Loma Lookbonmee - Strawweight banger
Alexander Hernandez vs Drakkar Klose
Chase Hooper vs Diego Ferreira - Back at fighting 40yos
Edson Barboza vs Esteban Ribovics
Karine Silva vs JJ Aldrich - Rebook it
Dione Barbosa vs Ariane Carnelossi
Joseph Morales vs Imanol Rodriguez 2 - I didn't think he won the first fight, but it was a cool fight
Alibi Idiris vs Cody Durden - Low-level test

 

[FEDORFAN44]

Khamzzzzzat vs a pillow...the ultimate fight to see what puts you to sleep first.

Im no fan of khamzat but cut it out bro. He had one boring performance in his whole career

 

[flektarn]

I mean it’s a pretty weak division right now. No real tough challengers on the horizon. I suppose it’s either the winner of Caio/imavov or Strickland.

that's the problem. imavov isn't great, either. his top wins are adesanya and cannonier who are nearly in the retirement home. i've already seen strick 30-27 imavov but apparently this guy's a top contender?
fucking cooked if he beats Caio. no interest in imavov vs chimaev.

 

[TrueBias]

I never want to see that guy again. Complete disappointment.

Funny how Chicago loved his ass at the conference...then t
rightfully turned on him for not being a fighter.

 

[flektarn]

Give Usman his 5 round rematch. fuck imavov and caio.

 

[Tweak896]

According to DC MVP said he’s down to fight Prates at 170 in Rio

Would be a banger

 

[Shadey1]

Alibi Idris vs. Jose Ochoa - Rebound fight for both men coming off tough losses.
Joseph Morales vs. Matt Schnell - Think this is a fun fight on paper and a great next step for our TUF winner.
Dione Barbosa vs. Julija Stoliarenko - Tough loss for Barbosa. I think this is a good rebound for her.
Karine Silva vs. Casey O'Neill - Both are coming off needed wins. Winner of this gets an opponent in the top ten.
Edson Barboza vs. Jim Miller - Fun fight between two veterans coming off decision losses. I like this fight.
Drakkar Klose vs. Jordan Leavitt - Both coming off wins. Let's see who can rebuild their momentum.
Chase Hooper vs. Mateusz Rębecki - Both coming off losses following impressive wins. Good rebound fight.
Alexander Hernandez vs. Manuel Torres - Each coming off a first round KO. I like this as their next step.
Jessica Andrade vs. Angela Hill II - Both coming off losses. Think the rematch could be fun on paper.
Loopy Godinez vs. Iasmin Lucindo - Each will have just entered the top ten. Not mad at this fight or one of the woman fighting Gillian or Ricci.
Gerald Meerschaert vs. Nick Klein - Loser leaves UFC.
Michal Oleksiejczuk vs. Christian Leroy Duncan - Both coming off impressive knockouts of UFC veterans. Happy to go with this next.
Eric Nolan vs. Gilbert Urbina or Jackson McVey - Gave a WW and MW option here depending on what Nolan wants to do. I like how scrappy he was.
Baisangur Susurkaev vs. Torrez Finney - Good debut for Susurkaev. Finney got spared Bekoev. He can fight Susurkaev instead.
Kai Asukara vs. Ode Osborne - Kai drops out of the rankings. This is straight up win or get cut.
Tim Elliott vs. Asu Almabayev - Great win for Tim. Happy with this or him and Erceg.
Jared Cannonier vs. Roman Dolidze - I think this makes sense. Two veterans coming off losses. Similar places in the rankings.
Michael Page vs. Robert Whittaker or Leon Edwards - Page is in an interesting spot. It all depends on if he stays at MW or goes to WW. If he stays at MW I was tempted to suggest Allen or Fluffy but I do love the Whittaker fight. While at WW sadly the ship may have passed for him and Wonderboy but would love to see him and Leon.
Geoff Neal vs. Gabriel Bonfim - Must win for Neal in order to stay in the top 15. Also open to him against Burns.
Carlos Prates vs. Michael Morales - For sheer violence this is the fight I want. If they don't go this way I'm not mad at Buckley. Also really a fan of him and Page fighting.
Aaron Pico vs. Steve Garcia - Tough loss for Pico. I think this is a good rebound as we'll see where he belongs in the division.
Lerone Murphy vs. Movsar Evloev or Yair Rodriguez - Great win for Lerone. He needed that. I'm not sure he gets the title fight just yet as I wouldn't be surprised if Jean Silva jumps the queue with a win over Lopes. Really not against the two unbeaten title contenders fighting and if that doesn't work out. Him vs. Yair is also a great fight.
Dricus Du Plessis vs. Reinier De Ridder - Disheartened at the loss of DDP. I don't see how he can get an immediate rematch like others. Let's put the dream fight on as his rebound. I'd love to see this fight stylistically.
Khamzat Chimaev vs. Imavov/Borralho winner - Winner of this is the rightful contender for Khamzat IMO.

 

[White lightning 2]

Im no fan of khamzat but cut it out bro. He had one boring performance in his whole career

Exactly. Fucked Rob up quick last fight. No credit

 

[prime_lobov]

DDP - Send to Dagestan and forget

Khamzat vs Usman - Usman either regains the honor of the continent of Africa or loses and retires.

Murph vs Volk - Sorry Movsar

Pico vs random unranked can. Seriously, he should not have been given a ranked fighter for his debut.

Cannonier - retire

MVP vs someone entertaining

Kai - cut

Tim Elliot - back to the prelims, nobody cares about this guy

 

[Lord Grey]

I'd really like to see the style match up of MVP vs Adesanya.

 

[mooseman17]

I’d like to see DDP vs loser of Caio v Imavov
RDR v Fluffy
Looks like pRates v MVP might have a chance of happening in Rio in October

 

[Jawth]

I mean it’s a pretty weak division right now. No real tough challengers on the horizon. I suppose it’s either the winner of Caio/imavov or Strickland.

Hernandez, RDR, Boralho and Imavov are all great challengers.
