Did Movsar sign to fight Pico? Movsar should for sure get his shot. Silva vs. Yair should be next, actually think they said that during broadcast and it was Rogan who said thT and he's right and Silva knocks him out and then beats Volk or whoever is champ. Silva is the best FW in the UFC right now.

Rogan said during the broadcast that the Mosvar/Pico fight wasn't happening, not sure why though, was the first I heard about it being cancelled

From what I understood, Pico couldn't make it on May 17 and Mosvar didn't want his timeline to be out of sync with the winner of tonight title fight.
 
Hailey Cowan vs Josiane Nunes - Loser leaves UFC.
Nora Cornolle vs. Jacqueline Cavalcanti - Winner gets a top ten opponent.
Tresean Gore vs. Sedriques Dumas - Both got stopped tonight. Happy to see who can rebound.
Marco Tulio vs. César Almeida - Both coming off big knockout wins.
Mitch Raposo vs. Felipe dos Santos - Loser leaves UFC.
Su Mudaerji vs. Kevin Borjas - Both coming off needed wins. Let's see who can build on momentum.
Michal Oleksiejczuk vs. Eryk Anders - Surprised this hasn't been a fight before. I'm here for this.
Darren Elkins vs. Billy Quarantillo - Good rebound fight for both men coming off stoppage losses.
Julian Erosa vs. Cub Swanson - Great showing for Erosa. I think if Cub wants one more. This is the fight to make.
Jim Miller vs. Carlos Diego Ferreira - Tough loss for Jim. Love this as his next fight against a fellow vet.
Chase Hooper vs. Tom Nolan - I like this call out from Hooper. This is a good fight.
Yan Xiaonan vs. Tatiana Suarez - Think this is good rebound for both.
Virna Jandiroba vs. Weili Zhang - She may not standout but Virna has earned her shot.
Sean Woodson vs. Edson Barboza - Woodson got screwed with that stoppage. I like this next.
Dan Ige vs. Steve Garcia - Good win for Ige. I think this is a good next fight for him.
Nikita Krylov vs. Hill/Rountree loser - I think this is an excellent rebound for him.
Dominick Reyes vs. Hill/Rountree winner - Love this redemption story for Reyes. I think this is a good next fight.
Bryce Mitchell vs. Calvin Kattar - Must win for both to stay in the rankings.
Jean Silva vs. Arnold Allen - Great win for Silva. He looked great. A top ten opponent is defo warranted.
Patricio Pitbull vs. Josh Emmett - Patricio didn't look out of place in there. I think this says where he belongs in the division.
Yair Rodirguez vs. Diego Lopes - Good win for Yair. I know he was rumored to be promised a title fight. I just can't justify him over Movsar but I can see it happening. This fight however would be a fantastic title eliminator.
Michael Chandler vs. Renato Moicano - I think this is a good rebound for both men.
Paddy Pimblett vs. Justin Gaethje - Great win for Paddy. Of his callouts this is the one I see him getting.
Alexander Volkanovski vs. Movsar Evloev - Could be the UFC decides on Yair instead. But this feels like the next fight.
 
I didn't catch that. Movsar should get his shot though. Yair even being considered is bad.
Evleov is squeeking by people doing the bare minimum. Yair looked great against a bellator guy and probably did the UFC a favour taking an unranked guy.

Yair has a recent loss to Volk though so misses out.
 
Volk vs Evloev - Evloev has a proper win streak and is not a KO threat for Volk
Diego Lopes vs Yair Rodriguez - UFC Guadalajara main event
Pitbull vs Josh Emmett or Dan Ige
Jean Silva vs Lerone Murphy - I want to get a good fight from Murphy, but I think Silva beats Allen and Yair
Mitchell vs Chepe Mariscal - Chepe is must-see TV, and Mitchell has to fight another killer outside the top 15
Paddy vs Gaethje - Justin wants to get another TS vs a grappler without fighting a grappler in his way up. Let's check if Paddy can beat the old guard while checking if Gathje is not clueless vs grapplers
Chandler vs Ruffy - Chandler should fight outside the top 15, and Ruffy is the most exciting guy out there
Reyes vs Rakic - Rakic is ranked a little bit high and Reyes is on a good streak. It will also be a new challenge for 2 guys who fought almost any top 10 LHW available
Krylov vs Mingyang if he beats Anthony Smith
Dan Ige vs Pitbull or Aaron Pico if they're not too close because of the management
Jandiroba vs Zhang Weili
Xiaonan Yan vs Tatiana Suarez
Hooper vs Fares Ziam - Grappler on a winning streak vs kickboxer on a winning streak
Jim Miller vs Kurt Holobaugh - I don't like it when he fights young guys or guys in their prime
Erosa vs Pat Sabatini
Elkins should consider retirement
Olek's sujuk vs Robert Valentin in a European or Middle Eastern card
Dumas vs a newcomer from DWCS or TUF - This is his level. He can beat Brundage or Abu Azaitar, but that's it
Sumudaerji vs Kavanagh - Sumudaerji is a good test as he mostly loses to top 15-20 level
Raposo vs Argueta - Loser leaves the UFC
Marco Tulio vs Brad Tavares - Can he finish Tavares, who has always been a good test for prospects
Tresean Gore vs Ateba Gautier - Ateba is young and needs to climb the ladder slowly
Cornolle vs Karol Rosa in Paris
Hailey Cowan vs Sygula

Dude Cornolle and Cavalcanti just fought like 6 months ago and it was their second fight. Don't think anyone is keen for that trilogy hahahaha.

Outside of that great suggestions.
 
Disagree it’s an entertainment sport …..Movsar should finish a fight
Its not even that. There is something to be said about seperating yourself by finishing fights. Winning all these 2-1 decisions is not that impressive. Belal and Merab on their decision runs were at least getting the occasional stopage and having some one-sided fights. Movsar hasn't finished anyone and hasn't dominated anyone really.
 
I am surprised by Sherdog itself proposing Reyes vs. Ulberg. I think thats crazy. Ulberg should be way ahead of him. Ulberg vs. Jiri in an eliminator and Reyes vs. Rakic.

Reyes vs. Rakic is an opportunity to fight up again, is a fresh matchup.

If not Rakic I think something like Baukaus vs. Cutelaba winner is more reasonable for Reyes than Ulberg. Reyes should still be 2-3 wins away from a title shot.

My bad dude, lesson learned don't pull an all nighter to watch the fights and post your matches before you go to sleep! I even checked Nora's record and somehow completely missed it. In which case, I'm more than happy to see her fight the winner of Tate and Santos.
 
Just focusing on the top end of LW

Islam vs Illia
Paddy vs Charlie Olives
Poirer vs Holloway
Arman vs Gamrot
Hooker vs Gaethje
Foziev vs BSD
 
Evloev should wait a little more and fight Eliminator vs Yair next . Volk should fight Silva next for title . Thats the money fight in FW.

Paddy should get Justin Eliminator next.
