    Should be a cracking main event. I have Holm by decision but it won't be easy for her. I hope Giblert and Herrig both get the heads kicked off them

    Looking forward to seeing Ngannou again, that lad's an animal.

    Yeah. I am leaning towards holm ( by decision). Schevchenko is no joke though. She is a future title challenger, no doubt. Cant stand Feice Herig, hope she gets smashed. Will see.

    I think the main event will be abit of a snoozefest to be honest. Can see Holm keeping her distance well and landing shots at range. Shevchenko has quite a low output. Would love to see her down a round or two and coming out to finish the fight.

    Theres very little interest in this event. Venue looks like its only about 1/2 sold. They'll probably upgrade the whole upper tier to better seats and close the top tier to make it looks like like its well enough attended otherwise its going to look ridiculous on tv

    Close enough decison defeat to Nunes at 196. Do you remember about month ago a fighters coach got shot in a cafe in South America? That's her, she was there at the time with her coach.

    She's a former
    Muay Thai world champion. Has a much more extensive and impressive kickboxing record than Holm.
    This fight is a boxer who can throw some kicks verses the kickboxer.

    Shevchenko is definitely the value at 3/1, my only reservation is that Holm is a big 135er, and Shevchenko was based at closer 125* for most of her career I think.


    * Shevchenko repeatedly fought Joanna Jędrzejczyk at 125lbs. Beating her 3 years in a row at the world championships. ('06, '07, '08)

    George Sullivan pulled from the card due to USADA not taking no ****.

    Poor Joe Silva stuck in between Luis Henrique and Dmitry Smoliakov having a shoving match at the weigh-ins :pac:

    Bojan Mihajlovic looks like he could easily drop to light-heavy

    Holm looked ripped at the weigh-ins.
    Shevchenko weighed-in in at 133 and didn't look like it was much effort to get there. Technically she's probably as good as Holm, but I've a feeling she belongs at 125lbs

    Smolyiakov was just looking for a way out there.

    Smolyiakov doesn't look to be UFC standard at all

    Knight has to be a big underdog here but I'd love to see him submit Alers.

    Is there bad blood between them?

    Not that I know of. I'm just not a big fan of Alers.

    Some very slick groundwork under pressure from both guys in the last 30 seconds.
