Weirdly excited for this main card, though it could end up a bit of a snoozer.

The main event should be fun, and the co-main is a decent battle at 205. Hopefully Arlovski can bounce back with a win, and Kunchenko v Alves is intriguing.

Not too much on the prelims to get excited about. Lots of names I'm not even going to try to type here.

It's mostly a card of irrelevant fights to me. Besides respecting a couple of them for what they've done in their career, I don't really care. Those seem to be the cards that turn into the best fights, but still, it's hard for me to get excited for a card full of guys that should probably be considering retirement.


Arlovski has had such a weird career.

6 fight win streak on his championship run --> back-to-back losses to Sylvia --> 5 fight win streak --> 4 fight losing streak --> 4 fight win streak --> 5 fight losing streak.

I don’t know anything about Kunchenko. On the main card already? Ok, let’s see.

They picked the top Russian UFC prospects for the card. I like it.

On the prelims, Petr Yan and Mairbek Taisumov are savages. Got no idea who most of the others are.

"Nicky Thrills” Krylov, the next LHW GOAT , is back to the UFC!!!

Mark Hunt should easily win as long he doesn't take down and mount Oliynyk. Heavyweight is hilariously bad

Some great odds on Alves.

 

[MaxV]

Actually, reading more on Kunchenko, he sounds talented.

Adam Yandiev and Emmev have both been mentioned as top prospects before.

Ankalaev also, but he had the embarrassing last second loss. Why did his corner not tell him to hold on a little? Just terrible.

 

[MaxV]

Looks like prelims have already happened. Russian fighters did well except for Yandiev.

 

[Avs_19]

Oliynyk did it again. Another first round submission win. He ate a few big shots early on too, including a right hand that would've KO'd most guys.

 

[dss97]

Olenyk has such a ridiculous squeeze, once he gets a hold of that neck it's over

 

[Linda Bacon]

Oliynyk fights like an anaconda

 

[Sheppy]

Oliynyk ate that one punch like a champ. It looked like even Hunt was surprised...
