Lookout as the champ is here... and the other champ is here! That's right, champ v. champ but Featherweight Volkanovski is moving up to fight Makhachev in the lightweight division. Mak destroyed my fav, Oliveria, what looked like with ease. Volkanovski is a striker and don't see him getting Mak before Mak taking Vol down to the ground. Mak will then begin the pound and ground until Mak sees that opening for the sub. This might be done in the R1 but I'm thinking it will take slightly longer for Mak to get that sub as Volkanovski has home crowd in Australia. Volkanovski is ranked #1 in the pound for pound but there will be a new champ for that coveted P4P #1 ranking.

And talking about featherweights... we got a great matchup between strikers. It should be exciting as Emmett is tough and won't go down but won't win.

Brown is going down in R1. Welcome to the down under, Australia!

Le are we supposed to just pick 3 fights no matter if they are main event or undercard.
Or can you pick 3 from each? I noticed last week that everyone just picked 3 but that makes the 15 total points that's the max impossible, unless I'm missing something and that is very possible!
I'm sure I've overlooked something in the rules and fine print but thought I would ask!

yesss its 3 picks overall, you can choose from either the main card or undercard.

you'll just have a better chance of winning if you pick more main card winners. you could win with the prelim picks, it would just be harder since they are 1 less pt than the main card. but say you won all your prelim picks and another poster lost their main card picks, you could still win


idk if that made sense, i havent had my coffee yet hahaha please lmk if that helps

Will anyone pick Volkanovski? Just one poster taking him and he wins, then that poster will win it all.

You can get 15 points if you pick 3 main card winners, the RD that they win in and the way they win. So 5 points total for each pick adds up to 15 if you get them all right.
