Few days till event and we barely discuss the card and make predictions. Lets change that.

Main event, Whittaker vs de Ridder. Seems a very similar fight to Whittaker vs Chimaev, as de Ridder is also a top class wrestler. Another Whittaker chin (new chin) test Cheesy

Or de Ridder first real test. He is relatively new in UFC, and so far his toughest opponent was Holland. Dont think that Bo Nickal was a real danger for de Ridder. Like I've said, Nickal is elite wrestler with raw and poor striking. Surprisingly they had whole fight in striking, barely using wrestling skills. Dunno who to chose. Heart says Robert, mind says to wait and see the fight and make a live bet Cheesy

Next is Yan vs McGhee. We might see McGhee winning, if Yan has not changed his striking coach and as usually start slow and lose first rounds. McGhee should be an easy walk for Yan, but his last fights, and McGhee finishes and performances of night 3/4 his UFC fights (4-0 in UFC is his record) might make un upset this weekend.

Yup, most of the guys itt usually talks about random UFC stuff instead of the upcoming events. And you're right, let's change that. Wink

Maybe if somebody made a case for Michael Johnson some of us might have gambled and might have taken the juicy odds. Grin

As for your leans, I'm with you on Whittaker but that chin. Lol. As for McGhee, not really sure but I have a funny feeling he could win here. Another underdog who could win is Bogdan Guskov.
