Main event should be great and really interested to see how Boser does with the step up in competition. Chikadze always fun to watch as well.

 

[CDJ]

Birchak is a back in the ufc on short notice

Always feel good for the guys like him that get another shot a handful of years later.


Heinisch vs Allen is the best fight on the card outside the main event imo


Will be fun to see Romanov again too

if Elkins loses he may be done in the ufc. He has had an underrated run. Also has the worst tattoo in history and that’s coming from a guy that has a white goodman purple cobras tattoo on his leg

Yours is definitely not his category, did he get that in prison or what? lol

 

[pistolpete11]

Main event is awesome, although a little less awesome with the unofficial official news that Jan's next fight will be Stylebender.

Other than that, not much for me, although...Gadelha vs. Xiaonan is suddenly kind of an important fight at SW. They removed Suarez from the rankings and Andrade is only ranked at FLW now. So Gadelha is now #4 and Xiaonan is #8.

thats how you grow your personal brand I guess

 

[CDJ]

Thiago is my favorite fighter but Glover +200 is spicy for how tough and crafty he is. Not sure yet

 

[Chaels Arms]

Agreed, Glover should not be +200. I love Thiago though, him gutting out a split decision on one leg against Jones is one of the grittiest performances I've ever seen.

 

[Jasper]

Interesting card. I'll predict Arlovski's getting KO'd and the main event will be a a crazy fight, possibly a FOTY candidate. No idea on the rest.

 

[CDJ]

Agreed, Glover should not be +200. I love Thiago though, him gutting out a split decision on one leg against Jones is one of the grittiest performances I've ever seen.

zero legs even, I know he had both knees operated on. I think Jon tore both of his ACL’s. That’s the only reason I’m hesitant to bet on him, although I think I’m gonna end up going Santos by KO

Thiago is my favorite fighter but Glover +200 is spicy for how tough and crafty he is. Not sure yet

+205 on FanDuel now

also +100 for Thiago to win by KO. Is it 5 rounds?

 

[CDJ]

Heinisch vs Allen fell off, Heinisch tested positive for covid

 

[Avs_19]

The main event might've lost some importance after the Jan/Adesanya news but it's still a big fight for the division. Glover has as good of a case as anyone for a title shot if he wins. Santos isn't far off either after how close he fought Jones and it'll be good to see him back after the injuries. If I knew pre-injury Santos was going to show up I'd pick him but he's coming off major surgeries at the age of 36 so I'll go with Glover.

I'll be rooting hard for Boser. Adding a legit young fighter would be great for the HW division and the fact that he's Canadian makes it all that much better. He's not going to be a title contender or anything with a win but it's a step up in competition against tough veteran so it's a good test to see where he's at.

Yan Xiaonan is another fighter who could become a potential contender with a win tonight. It's a tough fight with Claudia's strength and grappling ability though. I like Xiaonan's chances if she's able to keep it standing.

I mean that's pretty safe

 

[CDJ]

I mean that's pretty safe

It’s always safe until I end up on the wrong end of a controversial split decision and go 4-1 and win nothing

 

[member 51464]

Maybe it needs to be mandated it is a lost point for two of the same foul in one match...

 

[Killahpunk]

That ear though!

 

[Avs_19]

That might be the nastiest thing I've ever seen in a fight. There have been some terrible injuries and bad cuts but this dude's ear is literally hanging off.

 

[CDJ]

well that dudes ear is falling off his body

 

[darko]

Ouch your ear bro.

 

[spitsfan24]

Holy hell, that ear is messed up
