70% going with dawodu. What do you guys see in him? A kickboxer with a bad chin against a dude who throws heat. I'll always fade dawodu &, melsik bagdasharyan but people seem to love those guys

The hell is Pena gonna do after the 2nd fight? It showed the more complete fighter and she totally got dominated for 5 rounds straight. There's really no one else for Nunes to fight, though.

Dawudu does win most of his UFC fight to be fair to him, Even if it by close split decision, A win a win. I think he only has 2 loses in the UFC and one is to Movser Evolev which don't really count because Movser is really good

@moths funny you say that because his opponent is a guy I feel everyone overrated. Almeida is insanely exciting but he’s not that good. Bad tdd and very bad striking defense; he gets dropped every fight. I think he gives people the luque effect, where your judgement gets clouded by the fact he only puts on bangers. I think Dawodu is a much more composed & technical striker than the wild, chinny almeida. Dawodu **** the bed hard last fight, but he was injured and comprised from the bad weight cut. I think he wins the erosa fight 8/10 times. I will say tho, his chin is definitely a little sus, but I think he will blow Lucas out of the water

I have a feeling that Nunes is going to finish her this time. Last time she just big sistered her, this time no longer than 3rd

Btw, I think Michel has a very good chance at beating Wonderboy, he has a very flashy style but serious power and he's taken things much more seriously is his last bouts. He seems to be improving, and both have that flashy style while Wonderboy's is kickboxing, Michel is also very athletic, can flying knee, high kick, everything. 

Wonderboy is pushing 40 now, I believe that Michel wins this fight on points by being the fresher fighter and his fight IQ has improved dramatically.

Nunes should still fight Aldana, and eventually Bueno Silva. 

Aside from that, the women's BW division should simply be abolished. It brings down the level of UFC. Skill for skill, women's FW & SW divisions are exponentially level's above BW-it's not even close

50 - 43

Maybe they're 1 - 1, but after Nunes did to Peña in the last fight...
Why? It should be Aldana.

Aldana deserved the shot. Or even Pennington 2 she’s on a 5 fight win streak (I think Ketlen won but whatever) 
If you get 50-43’d you shouldn’t get the trilogy. They need a big Co-Main or it’s just disrespectful to Canada

Even with Wonderboy this card is gonna sell like dog vomit. Silliest main event in recent history (maybe the second silliest if you consider the fact that they tride to sacrifice old man Nate to *******).
