Illia Topuria Alexander Volkanovski and Arnold Allen Movsar Evloev looks like as of now. If this card keeps getting great fights I’m for sure going to go. 👀

Movsar Evloev, DEC
People really overrating Allen here because Evloev had a close fight with Deigo Lopes and Allen had a somewhat decent showing against Halloway.

Really looking forward to how Volkanovski is going to handle Ilia Topuria. In my opinion Ilia is the toughest and most wellrounded contender in the division we had in the last few years (besides Max Holloway) and if he‘s not going to be the one to dethrone Alexander I think no one will in the upcoming years aswell. Super fun fight for sure.
Great to have Arnold Allen vs Movsar Evloev on the same card as well, should be competitive and the winner should become the next challenger if Volk‘s gonna pull it off.

Nice to see Brad Katona back in the UFC now as a two time TUF winner. I think he‘s gonna pull it off, there‘s no way he‘s gonna let that second chance pass up.

@Parlay Boss 
I picked Ilia by KO aswell just for the upset but I think if it happens it‘s gonna happen late in the fight like fourth round. Wouldn’t be any surprised at all if Volk just 50-45ed him though. I think it‘s going to be fun either way and if Volk pulls it off in a dominant fashion I‘ll most likely never gonna pick a future opponent of his ever again.
