After what seems like a small eternity, we’re back to a loaded #UFC #PPV, with a title fight and a half to thrill fans, with a couple of longtime fan favorites nearing the end of the line to boot. I think Olivera lacks the takedown game to get to use his stellar #BJJ, and will succumb to Gaethjke’s pressure. I think he and #ThugRose put on a Wittman clinic tonight, as I think she runs away from Esparza this time. She’s much more well rounded and has one of the best mental approaches in the sport.

I suspect that these could be last fights for any of the three big veterans on the #MainCard. Dana White has already said #Cowboy is gone if he loses, but I don’t think Lauzon is on steady footing either with a win. I have Lauzon winning but hope I’m wrong. Rua announced he intends to fight one more time after this, then retire. He may get his wish, but time will tell.

I felt the main card was much easier to pick on this one than the undercard. There are a lot of low-key prospects on the prelims, which should be worth watching. As for my picks thus far, I rebounded from the debacle and now sit at 110-60 for 2022. (at Cold Spring Park)
