There's enough on the prelims to get me interested, just a pity Walker dropped out with an injury, he's always entertaining win or lose.
PPV is awesome. I'd love Arman to win, and Merab to retain (can see them both losing tho). Jiri vs Hill, tyvm! Beneil vs Renato, a good scrap I'd imagine. And Holland vs anyone is always fun.
Sunday arvo sorted. Mid 30's and cold beer.

Hopefully Hill gets starched.

Man, hell of a card.
Islam vs Tsarukyan - Not picking against Islam but Arman is a physical freak and has all the tools in the world at his disposal, so he could very well be the one to get it done.
Merab vs Nurmagomedov - Sandhagen is really the only top competition Umar has fought, but he looked awesome and on paper, has Merab well and truly covered. But I'm sure Merab's been told that many a time.
Jiri vs Hill - I'm sure the vast majority of fans are looking for Hill to get his head caved in here, but he's in with a real shot. Unless Jiri has made a drastic change to his approach, he's going to be there to be hit and Hill hits hard. Hopefully at least a couple of rounds, because this could be a killer fight.
Dariush vs Moicano - One's coming off two brutal KOs, the other is on the best run of his career; Moicano for me.
Holland vs de Ridder - There's no question the Dutchman's BJJ is elite, but he's never been particularly well rounded and ONE champions haven't proven to be great in the big leagues. Holland to TKO him.
Looking forward to seeing rising star Talbott again, and Almeida/Spivac is a relatively important fight in the very shallow HW division.

This will be Islams hardest fight, Islams Resume legit stinks at the moment.
Nice one, good to have a decent card so early in the year. Can't say I have the courage to pick against Islam, he'll lose eventually I suppose but don't think it's this time.
I love Jiri, hope he can bring a highlight reel KO, Hill is not well liked it seems.

Not anymore.
Tsarukyan pulled out of the fight, Moicano is stepping in to fight Islam on short notice now lol

Horrible news to wake to.
Here's Dana talking about it
Dariush off the card unfortunately. He looked to be in great shape.

Yeah pretty devastating. I like Moicano but that kills the real interest in the main event.
Ngl I half expected Volk to bloody step up on short notice

Find it hard to believe someone with that level of mobility and flexibility threw his back out in a weight cut. He probably came in heavy for extra wrestling strength and couldn't make the weight.
Kind of feel bad for Islam, 4th time defending and for through no fault of his own none of them have been against a top 3 lightweight contender.
Let him fight for 170 gold next

My fault but I was having this argument out with some idiots on YouTube.
Islam can't be considered lightweight goat yet for that reason. 2 of his defences are short notice replacements. His 2 defences on full notice were 5 round fights. Not to say beating Volk and Poirier isn't impressive but he's not the goat yet. Same time, yeah I wanna see him go up aswell haha

If Moicano can pull this off it'd be a riot. He's confident, but I'd imagine that confidence will diminish about 30 seconds in.

Some positive UFC news - Dariush won't be fighting, as his his opponent has been moved to the main event. But Dariush will still receive show money and he'll also receive win money. He's a happy man. Now he can fight within the next few weeks and gain another nice pay day.
Good news. Hopefully they can also find a new opponent for him relatively quickly, effectively doubling his earnings.
Love Moicano and he's been awesome the last couple of years, but don't expect this to last long.

If anyone has an early flowing river please PM me.
Usual rivers are having a "break" apparently

PM sent.
And if anyone is betting I reckon Spivac is worth a crack, way more even than having him at 4.75, he’s more rounded than Almeida whose striking is quite average

**** I'm a casual I thought de ridder was a kickboxer for some reason lol.
Khamzat was the last guy to submit Holland like that.

I just assumed he was too given he’s Dutch or something similar.
Good work Almeida calling out Gane I must say, good match up for the Brazilian. Great win too, Spivac started off well
