I like both of these guys, so I hate for either to lose. Oliveira is a likeable guy and has elite submission skills, but Topuria is just a savage with his hands. It'll be interesting to see how his power transfers to lightweight.

Front kick from Oliveira to keep Topuria's hands at bay will be crucial imo. If he lets Topuria close the distance on the feet Do Bronx is in trouble. Huge Charley Olives fan and think he wins, but he better keep those hands off of him. A 3 punch combo could end the night quick. Hopefully Charles can get this fight to the mat quickly. Fun stylistic matchup. Cant friggin wait.

Rogan had Sandhagen on his most recent pod. Going to give it a listen in the gym this morning. I love his fighter pods, really allows you to get to know the fighters. Will report back with anything interesting

FIGHT DAY fellas

Just scooped up some prime cuts and some cold ones got the fight marathon rolling on UFC’s YouTube channel. Going to be a good night. I’m sticking with the favorites tonight. Pantoja and Topuria

I got Van and Benny. I might take a shot with gremlin KKF. Got a couple of props on Topuria but wouldn’t mind seeing Olivera wins just to trigger the mma community.

I got a sick degen parlay:
Jacobe 1st rd KO:TKO, Diniz by KO/tko, Benny decision, van decision, kkf decision. 20 to win 3800.

Feel like Oliveira wins.

Dude is going to be significantly bigger than Topuria tonight

Is that Sanko next to Theo or does have a lady with him?

I love that he always goes early to these events

I was rooting for Hines. Smiling, smiling eyes, charisma. Had Diniz on the ropes before the eye poke. But Diniz came out serious and looked like he would probably win.

But that effort with just 18 days to prepare? Great from Hines.
