MAIN CARD
Derrick Lewis vs. Ciryl Gane TITLE FIGHT
Jose Aldo vs. Pedro Munhoz
Vicente Luque vs. Michael Chiesa
Tecia Torres vs. Angela Hill
Song Yadong vs. Casey Kenney
UNDERCARD
Rafael Fiziev vs. Bobby Green
Vince Morales vs. Drako Rodriguez
Alonzo Menifield vs. Ed Herman
Karolina Kowalkiewicz vs. Jessica Penne
Manel Kape vs. Ode Osbourne
Miles Johns vs. Anderson dos Santos
Victoria Leonardo vs. Melissa Gatto
Johnny Munoz vs. Jamey Simmons

Really like the top 3 fights on this card. 3 great fights. Wish nunes wouldn’t have gotten the covid I think pena would have been a great dance partner.

Luque vs Chiesa should be a great match. Aldo munhoz is also a real good one.

Black beast, what can you say…. Dude is one of the most likeable athletes in sports

I'm just a dumb casual but watching a little bit of Gane made me wonder if he's a better all around fighter than Lewis.

Granted Lewis can erase anyone with one punch

As much as I love Lewis and hope he wins, I think Gane is too smart and patient of a fighter, even at his age, to get sucked in by Lewis. Gane has that reach advantage too so he doesn't have to get in too close.

I like both of them though, so either winning is good in my books

Yeah he is but so have a lot of the fighters lewis has fought. Lewis has unrivaled knockout power and carries it thru the full fight. He has taken some beating and still came back to win. Lewis looked like he is in great shape for this fight also.

Yeah gane is def talented but Lewis will have or make opportunities and he just needs 1 to one and it’s lights out. Lewis looked so good physically at the end of this camp. I don’t think people realize how athletic Lewis is. He lulls people because he moves slow and kind of lumbers around. But when he wants to turn it on he can hit a switch kick with the best of him. He is unbelievably explosive for a man his size.

I think a lot of people on this board underestimate Gane due to only having 9 professional fights. I think he’s got the total package and Lewis is in for a long night. Rooting for the black beast though

No doubt. He is the real deal, both guys have paths to victory.

Looking forward to Luque vs Chiesa. That looks like a great fight, on paper at least

I took Gane at -160 vs volkov. Now, he’s -370 against BB? Talk about skyrocket stock price.

Gane is going to try to tire out Beast and take the fight deep. Problem is, Lewis has multiple fights where he's looks gassed and beaten, then, out of nowhere, he throws the hammer of Odin for one of the most spectacular KOs you'll ever see.

I'm sure Gane is well aware of this. But he is a kickboxer by trade and will probably try to Adesanya himself to a victory, while stating away from the hands of Lewis.

I was planning on betting gane at a reasonable price like -250. The current price is a bit much.

I feel like Lewis is the better value bet wise

If I were taking Lewis, I'd take him inside distance. No way he wins on points vs Gane.

I saw that. I feel it was a bit staged. Black beast is not the kind of guy that does this kind of antics at the weigh-in stare down. Remember, this is the same guy that said "my balls was hot" in a post fight interview. I feel like the main event for this card is not carry enough weight for selling fights. Dana probably knows this too and told these guys to WWE it up a bit.

NAh he usually gets rowdy. I remember him shoving the shite out of Ngannou and I also remember him knocking the hat off of volk over head.

Main event either gonna be Derrick Lewis getting the KO or getting his arse beat for 5 rounds. No in between in this one.

He looked great in his last two. Interested to see how he looks against a veteran. Guy throws heavy shots, kicks and punches.

I wonder if Lewis will open up a bit more when he’s not facing a ground threat.
