I agree with the exception that the odds are simply not attractive enough. x2.02 is hardly an underdog, it's more of an even fight according to bookies.

Bookies might have considered the losses that Volkanovski attained against Islam Makhachev, but I think they also have considered that Volkanovski is not in the great shape he can be, while Ilia Topuria right now has an undefeated record in the UFC a solid ground game and his striking was really superb, that the likes of Josh Emmett that has a power in his strikes and Ilia Topuria is just a very technical fighter and a very calculative fighter for sure Volkanovski will really need all the knowledge he can get in handling Topuria.

Yup, they updated it and the fight is no longer showing as cancelled.

I really don't know what has happened to that card why it was canceled then all of a sudden it was OK, this is just my opinion it is all an error on the side that corresponds to who's updating the fights, but it could just been an error.

I don't think women should be fighting in mma at all, but currently there are 2 main events, plus, Weili Zhang VS Xiaonan Yan may not be exciting to you or me, but both of them are Chinese so potentially it could bring a lot of views from their fellow countrymen. I understand mma is getting more popular in China, so it could be a way for the UFC to expand.

Well, we both agreed that women's fights are really boring. but I think I am OK for them to fight because I believe in equality for both genders and for them to fight in the UFC or other fighting organizations as well there are some fights that are really boring although there are some that are really great and I am not really bothered watching it, and yes it is indeed additional views for their countrymen and a way for the UFC to grow in some way going to expand a fan base.
