[HI SCOTT NEWMAN]

Main card looks good, some fun matchups, Luque vs Alvarez is a great style matchup. Its a shame about the Walker fight being cancelled because I was wanting to see another leg lock submission. Figgy vs Jackson should be a fun scrap. See ya all tomorrow playbyplay crew!

See ya all tomorrow playbyplay crew!

Its a shame about the Walker fight being cancelled because I was wanting to see another leg lock submission.

Surprised Walker was on the prelims. I love that whole heel hook story.

 

[Spath]

His injury seems to be elevated testosterone levels. His september test was flagged, so that’s the real reason.

Any takers on tainted supplements excuse that’s coming in?

Holy macaroni, it starts at 4PM ET!?

 

[Bobble Head]

Gamrot is one of the more beatable top guys of the division IMO, but Charles is looking a little shopworn at this point and not getting any younger.

Tentatively picking Charles here. I like to think he has more left to give in the octagon before he’s done. One of my favorites.

 

[Joinho10]

Am I the the only one who thinks Charles wins this pretty comfortably. Even coming off a brutal KO loss I just can’t see Gamrot pulling it off. I’d be shocked if Gamrot could implement his wrestling and scramble heavy gameplan without getting finished in 25 mins.

 

[Poirierfan]

Happy kitty, happy Saturday.

I think that for the main we're either getting a brutal ko by Olie, a 25 minute beating by Olie, submission by Olie, a scrambling masterpiece of a fight that casuals will hate, but Brazilian crowd should be down with, with decision going to Gamrot, or Gamrot by some weird unexpected shit like he did in the past with ground knees to the body.

I think Oliveiras berserker striking is his main strength and at the same time weakness in this fight, if it turns into a grappling match then I think Gamrot takes it.

All in all, banger of a main card, cheers!
