After a BIG UFC PPV card we usually get a lackluster card but this is a low key good one. Its headlined by an exciting fight in the lightweight division that pits former champion Rafael Dos Anjos against exciting prospect Rafael Fiziv.

Here are some specifics. The prelims start at 6:00 with the main card is at 9:oo . All of the action can be seen on ESPN+

MAIN EVENT TIME

• Nina Nunes vs. Cynthia Calvillo

  I think Cynthia Calvillo is cooked. Shes lost her last 3 fights and in her last one she got pieced up so badly her corner stepped in. And this wasnt against Valentina Schevchenko. It was against Andrea Lee. Nina Nunes is a decent fighter, not a great fighter. But her level of competition is better than Calvillo. I think Nunes takes it to her and wins and theres a possibility Calvillo takes her gloves off at the end

  Nina Nunes (lock)

• Chase Sherman vs. Jared Vanderaa

  Its a gross fight but it should be entertaining. Neither of these heavyweights are very good but they have no problem throwing hands. Vanderaa is a guy who looks to take a punch to land his. And this is a matter of if, not when one of these men falls. But I will take Sherman based on experience. Sherman by TKO

  Chase Sherman

• Said Nurmagomedov vs. Douglas Silva de Andrade

  Nurmagomedov gets a lot of hype based on his last name. Hes good, but he isnt great. I like Douglas Silva de Andrade. Similarly to Nurmagomedov, hes good not great. But if DSA can keep his distance and tag Nurmagomedov a few times I think he wins. He will have Nurmagomedov shooting for his life. If Nurmagomedov gets the fight to the ground then it could be a long day at the office, but I like the +200 underdog to get the win

  Douglas Silva de Andrade

• Caio Borralho vs. Armen Petrosyan

  How. The Hell. is THIS FIGHT the “co main event”????? Two guys who have a combined 20 professional fights. Two guys 1 fight off the contender series…..

  Caio Borralho soley based on his performance in his last fight.

• Rafael Dos Anjos vs. Rafael Fiziev

  At this point RDA is a gatekeeper at the 155 pound division. This is a big test for Fiziev who has been VERY impressive in his UFC tenure. But stepping up against a former champion who has more losses than you do fights…thats going to be tough.

  BUT

  RDA is cooked in my opinion. Against top level talent he has struggled, and I think Fiziev is top level. I think Fiziev enters into the contender relm after this fight.
