i am VERY excited for this card, it is so dang stacked...like look at this main card:
- Alexander Volkanovski vs. Chan Sung Jung (the Korean Zombie) - Main Event
- Aljamain Sterling vs. Petr Yan - Co-Main Event
- Gilbert Burns vs. Khamzat Chimaev
- Mackenzie Dern vs. Tecia Torres

I'm mainly excited for Chimaev cause Borz is a freaking beast and a half


anyone else pumped for this card??

Odds aside, I cannot see Volk losing. Any way at all.

Yan losing would be a bigger shock than Nunes' loss. To me.

Chimaev is going to surprise the non-believers, in my humble opinion. He's going to make it look easier than people thought possible. ITD victory.

Dern unreliable but who knows with that one. I can see either one winning.

agree with all of this. it's just frustrating how juiced volk, yan, and borz are. but i dont think dern is entirely unreliable. her submission skills are elite, her boxing does need some more work but idk. i can see her pulling a sneak sub. i liked her more at + money though, its about even now - i'll keep an eye on it

The sub is her only path, I figure. But her takedowns are not good. If it GETS down, she should wrap it up. Getting it there won't be as easy.

it will be very hard bringing down tecia, i agree there. BUT there's just something in me that can not rule out Dern's bjj. honestly, im most likely sitting back and enjoying this one because it's going to be great either way
