The fights may turn out great but it just feels like they're phoning this one in after all of the previous events.

Edson vs Giblert should be dope though.

I'm very interested because I love Shevchenko and Barboza.

Edson may be on the verge of a title shot for the first time and I do believe he should beat Giblert;

Valentina can make her name as well stealing Holly's lucky charms but I've seen a lot of people bringing up Holly's size advantage which I hadn't considered. it will be tough.

Ngannou is a monster coming off a big win over a up and coming animal Blaydes...Bojan M.hasn't lost is in 9 yrs and has won 10 straight while Ngannou is riding a 6 fight win streak all by KO..it's rare you have two high level HW have that have won 16 straight combined fights...VERY rare in fact

Holly & Valentina could be related.

I think Holly wins decision.

I know this card seems lackluster on paper, but I love these kinds of cards as often there are some great fights as lesser known fighters go for broke trying to make use of their time in the spotlight. This could be the fight that puts Barbosa in title contention as well.

could mean they both fight safe leading to a lackluster decision. lets hope not
