Few Canadians for a Toronto card.

Holloway and Ortega could be the best fight of the year. It's this or Khabib-McGregor/Whittaker-Romero/DC-Stipe.
 
In

Max is gonna put a real pace on Ortega.
 
Similar to my picks, except i'm pretty sure gunnar finishes cowboy. Bochniak vs.dawodu is a toss up too.
Pretty happy with the predicted finishes, you guys are usually right!

I don't think Gunnar can get past Oliveira's striking he presents a Ponzi type pressure with KO power can grapple & jitz too and is strong as f*k. I'm not really sold on Dawodu gave him the nod on hometown favor but he really turned me off with the over the top mean mugging face at ceremonial.

I think gunnar is better than oliveira everywhere to be honest, but I won't be surprised if Oliveira can find his chin.

Fun Fact, both of Gunnar's and Olivera's strike-absorption hover at around 50%.

They get hit with a LOT.
 
These are some sweet fucking prelims Toronto getting good deals Rakic in the 1st fight should get the blood flowing.
