I just realized... The event this weekend was supposed to be UFC Noche, a huge event as a tribute to Mexico. At least that's what it's supposed to be. But it looks like this year the UFC can't compete with Canelo's huge event. 
Anyway, here are a couple of replays of the guys fighting in this weekend's main event.
Diego Lopes vs Brian Ortega

Jean Silva vs Bryce Mitchell

I love them both as fighters. But from what I've seen, Silva is more methodical out there as Lopes tends to just throw as hard as he could when he see the opportunity. Silva on the other hand sets traps so he'll prolly use Lopes' own tendencies against him.
But just from line value alone, I wouldn't blame anybody for taking a shot at Lopes as a decent underdog at 3.15. Lopes is def being disrespected in this spot... And I wouldn't be surprised if if the lines move closer as the event draws closer.
Btw, what do you guys think about Oliveira vs Fiziev?

From what I've seen, Oliveira is training hard and posting as much as he trains. But from what I've seen, his manager had said that he already had three fights lined up for Oliveira, and the first would be this one against Fiziev, so expectations for him are high and he's been training a lot.
Yeah, I'm leaning Oliveira via SUB in the second round or so. Could be later as Fiziev looks like he gets kinda gassy later in the fight.
No odds available yet tho. But I'm thinking it could be priced at a decently sized favorite for Oliveira. Maybe around 1.50 - 1.55? Dunno...

I'm rooting for Lopes in the next card because I want to see him fight for the belt again. And watching him fight is truly exciting to watch; he brings a lot to the UFC and to the viewers, and he's also a very charismatic guy.
