Edit: Rodolfo Vieira vs Armen Petrosyan could be good too. This event is above average now that I'm looking at the matchups more closely.

For me, the Main Event is great Jailton Almeida vs Derrick Lewis for Jailton Almeida can not underestimate Derrick Lewis because of his power but for sure Jailton Almeida's front kick will have to do it, and his wrestling is great aswell, so this is a different opponent for Derrick Lewis so yeah Strikers weakness is Wrestling, another fight that I like is Caio Borralho vs Abus Magomedov and for this fight, Caio Borralho could be technical in this fight but Abus Magomedov would be aggressive for sure,

Well this is very surprising because the fight between two monsters from this heavyweight class is an event that is highly anticipated by UFC fans.
Jon Jones will undergo long period of treatment and recovery and it is even reported that after he recovers he will not be able to immediately return to the UFC to fight.
It looks like he will gain quite significant amount of weight because during the recovery period he will only sleep and eat. Cheesy

Indeed there is replacement fight for Jones failed meeting with Stipe Miocic namely the interim heavyweight title fight between Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall.
Unfortunately this fight isn't that interesting.

Meanwhile for Alex Pereira, I will have hopes for his victory against Jiri Prochazka.

Why is Pavlo vs Aspinall an interim fight? Jones being stripped of his belt would appear Sergei Pavlovich vs Tom Aspinall fight for the vacant belt.

The news says it will take more than a year before Jones can recover, it's very uncertain whether he can still fight as long as USADA has yet not out of the picture he will not be able to. Its the same issue with Conor.

The heavyweight belt belongs to Jones and he got it by winning the fight but now he is injured so he is still waiting for the right time until the injury he experienced is completely healed to be able to fight again, after all Jones can't fight not because of a mistake that violates the rules but because of injury so that he is not stripped of possession of the championship belt.

Actually he has a healing time of around 8 months and this has been estimated by the doctor who treated him, but to really be able to fight we don't know whether after 8 months he can fight straight away or not.
If you equate it with McGregor, it is not the same because the injury suffered by Jones was not as serious as that experienced by McGregor.
I sure Jones will be able to fight as predicted.

For sure I really don't know why the Belt was not stripped from Jon Jones just like with the Light Heavyweight when Prochazka was injured, but for this Tom Aspinal VS Sergei Pavlovich are fighting for the Interim Heavyweight belt and not the Main Heavyweight belt which they can also do with the Light Heavyweight for sure,
