Yeah probably a decision but you don't get to top of the leaderboard, for those who're playing that little minigame, if you pick what everyone else picked.

Colby being a backup confirms my suspicions that he is on purpose not fighting Belal Muhammad and Khumshot Chimaev. He is next if Leon wins and if Usman wins and goes to LHW while vacating the belt we can with confidence say that we have lived long enough where Colby is a champion. Imagine if he abandones his villain personality and becomes a role model champion.

Gaethje has been the "pretender" of the Lightweight contenders for way, way too long IMO. 

However, I'm genuinely curious to hear an argument from people who think he's going to win. I really, really don't like Gaethje and am a big fan of Fiziev. Bias is all but certainly clouding my judgement.

I think Fiziev wins no question and has a great chance of finishing him, but am curious to hear any opposing view points.

Malcolm Gordon really made them get the cover so he could weigh in 3.5lbs over smh

EDIT: Even more embarrassing is like 7 fighters needed the cover and he's the only one who didn't make it.

Shavkat is just so good bro and I had some ideas of how matchups could go after the main event
Honestly for welterweight I have 2 versions of matchups depends on who wins the Main Event 
If still 
Edwards vs Covington (Colby wins) 
Usman vs Chimaev (Borz edges out) 
Rakhmonov vs Wonderboy (Wonderboy is an elite striker but Shavkat is just too good, and his chin is just 🤌)
And then Muhammad vs Burns 
If ONCE AND FOR ALL 
Usman vs Chimaev (And still but barely) 
Rakhmonov vs Edwards (Shavkat all the way Leon compared to him looks like a Lightweight) 
Covington vs Muhammad (So Belal finally shuts the **** up) 
And Burns fights absolutely nobody cause he already beat Wonderboy and for Wonderboy 
Wonderboy vs JDM (We fast track JDM to titleshot yee haw!) 
My opinion is kinda irrelevant anyway but Im bored af at my Advanced English Lessons

This one will be a battle of clinches. I think this is a last fight for JoJo. I love her but she will be defeated by submission again. I'm not sure it will happen in the first round, but I can't ignore the statistics

This is like 20 pages behind because I'm not super active.

But Filho has looked good against trash (again, his opponents' records are good, but the people they are beating are literally divers or wendy's employees). If he looks anything like that against people in the UFC I will be genuinely floored. Idk how many times people need to see guys who look fantastic against scrubs get shell-shocked when people don't fall over for TDs or drop from jabs. I give Filho a 10% chance to look like he does regionally in the UFC and even with that 10% happening a less than 20% chance to win the fight.
