Here's the always cool Shillan and Duffy preview. In which BEN DUFFY and KEITH SHILLAN make detailed predictions and picks for all 13 fights. Has there ever been a UFC event that was improved this much by last-minute bout changes? Is "Shara Bullet" the next Khamzat Chimaev? Is the current Chimaev about to earn himself a title shot? Sidetrack conversations include Renaissance festivals, the geography of post-Soviet Eurasia and the most unintentionally humorous fighters in MMA history.
