Very good match-up Rob vs Chimaev, curious to see if Chimaev can survive in the later rounds 4-5 with his constant wrestling gameplan, his main weakness is his cardio in the 3rd round and after that, we could see him getting knocked down & hurt bad like in the Gilbert Burns fight & I'm also curious to see if Rob can survive the first two rounds with all the submissions attempts he's going to get, he never lost by SUB I believe but in this match-up there's a possibility with all the D'arce chokes, the neck cranks, RNC's, Russian tie against the cage, etc.

If Chimaev manages to win, do we get another 1 year pause for him while he tweets at every champ "see you soon boy"

Volkov vs jalton Almeida was scheduled for ufc 302. Now that they made volkov vs pavlovich on this card that makes me think they tried to make pavlovich vs Gane on this card but Gane probably turned down the fight just like he's been turning down every fight that isn't a title shot. This is all speculation from me

I‘m really looking forward to see how Robert Whittaker‘s defensive wrestling will play into this fight. Since the Romero fights it hasn‘t been tested that much but if it still is what it was back then this is gonna be a tough night for Chimaev. Great match up.

Walker vs. Oezdemir
Volkan Oezdemir, DEC
Well, guys... never predict Walker to win. That way, he might actually win

Magomedov vs. Potieria
Ihor Potieria, TKO, R1

Chimaev is gonna get tired trying to finish rob 3 or 4th round tko for rob

Pavlovich vs. Volkov
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R1
Pavlovich only wins when he can get an early finish and i dont think he can do that volkov and also pavlovich doesnt have a good chin volkov either knocks him out late in round 1 or finishes him with gnp

Haqparast vs. Gordon
Jared Gordon, DEC
Close fight but i think gordon wins because of the grappling advantage

Khamzat is live for 2 rounds. After that, it's Bobby all day.

Pavlovich vs. Volkov
Sergei Pavlovich, TKO, R1
I don't know why Gane is running from Pavlovich. He has a better chance to beat him than beating Aspinall. Anyway, great fight !

Magomedov vs. Potieria
Shara Magomedov, DEC
Great fight ! Ihor is way better in this weightclass. Let's see if he can deal with Shara's powerful kicks.
