The top 3 mains and the undercard main should be mandatory viewing.

Jim Miller’s been incredibly active, obviously trying to squeeze the last of that juice while the gettin’s still good.

Honstely can't believe Dana put Mitchell that high on the card. Kind of like he hopes Bryce gets KOd for everyone to see.

Silva has a lot of Josh Emmett qualities and is a devastating striker. We all know that went last time Mitchell fought a guy like that.

As for the rest of the card, Paddy vs Chandler is going to one that likely uostages the Main event.

Great card

Massive fight for Volkanovski. If he loses, does he keep soldiering on? If he wins, does he keep defending and trying to get it back vs. Topuria?

Chandler needs a win in the worst way. If he loses, he'll have lost 5 out of his last 6 fights with his only win coming against Tony Ferguson. Risks being an entertaining fighter who loses all the time.

Stakes high for Paddy as well, can he be a title contender?

After his Hitler commentary, if Bryce Mitchell tries to smother Silva, do a lot of clinch work against the cage and hold him down the whole time, will he be booed out of the arena?

Rooting my arse off for Volk but like i said in the other UFC threads this is a very scary fight for him against a KO artist and coming fresh off back to back knockouts. Lopes throws nothing but bombs, Volk really needs to be cautious.

Would love to see Chandler KO Paddy. He wasted alot of years waiting on that Conor fight and is 37 now. He loses this its safe to say hes washed. And Paddy needs a humbling. My big UFC buddy thinks Chandler has no shot.

Yair also needs a win. Lost the title fight then lost to Ortega, if he loses to Pitbull thats 3 in a row. I've never seen Pitbull fight but hes pretty old and the UFC is a different animal. I think Yair bounces back

Not many are talking about the Krylov-Reyes fight. I think its pretty interesting. Krylov had won 3 in a row against dececnt (for LHW) compitition before a 2 year hiatus while Reyes arguably gave Bones his toughest fight of his career and lost a controversial decision then proceeded to lose 3 more in a row (all to top competitors) before washing a couple trash cans. Winner of this could vault into contender status while loser is just a pretender.

Also pumped for my boy Jim Miller. Been a fan ever since he knee bar'd Oliveira back in the day which was impressive as hell considering Oliveira is one of the best jiu jitsu guys in the game. Hope he gets another win in his belt

Not too surprising. Bryce fought on the main in 310 and Silva’s last two fights were on the main (albeit Fight Nights).

Add to that Jean being part of the red hot Fighting Nerds team, being an absolute savage, and Bryce’s notoriety ever increasing, and that’s a slam dunk guaranteed to attract fan interest.

Everyone thinks Bryce loses, but he has The Holy Spirit on his side to fight the Silva Demons.

Joe Rogan, DC, & Jon Anik ringside plus Poirier back in the analyst desk. Hope we get some UFC Nola news

Looks like I may have a scheduling conflict Saturday night.

Anyone know of a way I can watch a replay of the card?

Looks like GFL has cancelled its geriatric fight leagues first two events
