This card rocks!
Poirer vs Gaethje is an incredible match. Both guys have lost 2x since the start of 2019. Both guys lost vs the 2 best in the division Oliveira and Khabib. Justin did loose to Poirer in 2018. This fight is HUGE for the division with Islam moving up to 170. Oh man i cannot wait!
Jan vs Pereira is also a banger. Jan's last losses were both hard fought grueling matches with Glover and Magomed. Pereira is untested at LHW. He will be of average size and not be way bigger than his opponent. I think Jan will win this one with grappling like he did Izzy and tire him out. How does Pereira come in at #2 in the LHW division after a loss and not competing in it?
Tony Ferguson vs Bobby Green: This is just a fight they put on the card to be good. Neither guy is even close to title contention. Tony is on a 5 fight slide while Green has lost 2 and a NC for a head clash. But should be fun to watch.
Cheisa vs Holland Both guys are 1-2 in their last 3. Cheisa is a grinder and Holland a striker that can be boring until it is not and it gets crazy. Maybe both guys can redeem themselves in fans eyes and put on a helluva show.
Wonderboy vs Michael Pereira What a match this is! Two guys with unconventional MMA striking base backgrounds...karate. Wonderboy is tough as nails and won his last but lost 2 before. Pereira won 5 in a row most of which vs lower level guys. This is a test for both. Wonderboy is past his prime and Pereira has not been tested like this. Wonderboy has cardio for days and Pereira has power and speed but fades. I am loving this match.
Lewis vs MRDL Black beast has only won 1 in his last 4. He is a fan fav and should weather another loss but he feels the heat. MRDL has not faced any kind of puncher like Lewis. I hope it's a banger with a good ole HW KO.
There are more fights as this card does not seem to have prelims. they are not separated
