Main Card

Dricus du Plessis vs. Israel Adesanya Title Fight
Kai Kara-France vs. Steve Erceg
Mateusz Gamrot vs. Dan Hooker
Tai Tuivasa vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik
Li Jingliang vs. Carlos Prates

Undercard

Junior Tafa vs. Valter Walker
Joshua Culibao vs. Ricardo Ramos
Casey O’Neill vs. Luana Santos
Jack Jenkins vs. Herbert Burns
Tom Nolan vs. Alex Reyes
Song Kenan vs. Ricky Glenn
Stewart Nicoll vs. Jesus Aguilar


I really like the main card on this PPV. Some really good matchups and mostly guys that like to fight.

Im usually not a big fan of a fighter getting a title shot off of a loss but adesanya is one of the best 185ers to ever do it. Not exactly sure what to think about this fight. his 3 losses were to poatan, strickland, and jan. jan was just too big, and while he did lose to poatan he avenged the loss. the strickland loss is very concerning, he almost got finished and fought hesitant the whole fight. de plessis is definitely gonna bring that pressure and is a much more powerful dude than strickland, but not as technical in striking and defense. Not sure which way to go other than I really enjoyed the race angle they had going and hope there are some more fireworks at the press conference.

erceg vs kai kara france is probably my favorite fight on the card. both guys are big punchers for 125 and the fight should be fireworks for however long it lasts.

gamrot vs hooker is another great matchup. it will be interesting to see if hooker can keep the fight standing which imo is the best way for him to win.

tuivasa vs biggy boy not sure on this one. both guys losing more than winning as of late.

prelims maybe mostly local talent? I havent heard many of the names other than luana santos

Hated how they were pushing Pereira down our throats a couple of years ago, but I'll give the man credit he's active AF.

He is the only champ we have that is super active at the moment.

Alex is good for any PPV main event. But how is Roundtree deserving of a tittle shot? Beating Anthony Smith gets you a title shot? Everyone beats Anthony Smith.

If is asked MMA fans a month ago that Alex Pereira would headline UFC 307, no one would say "his opponent should be Khalil Roundtree".

Which version of Izzy shows up? Prime Izzy or some new, emotional version?

I don't know that it matters who they put up again Pereira. He's just stacking bodies...might as well end Roundtree's win streak too.

Hope DDP gets the win but it kinda feels like Izzy is due for a bounce back after the Strickland loss.

Did not see Rountree-Pereira coming. Poatan should be the heavy favorite but a fun fight nonetheless

I'm afraid there is no 'version' of Izzy anymore. There's only an emotional mess of a fighter left.

Sean Strickland broke him. He tapped into something, probably that Izzy is just a weird dude who probably used to get made fun of quite a bit as a kid, and turned the knife on his psyche.

DDP is also one tough mFer. Although I do think Izzy is PED'd out of his mind right now, so who knows what will happen.

I think DDP takes the fight to him, and we'll see how Izzy reacts.

Rountree is a beast. I think he wins.
