Lawler?  Sweet!  Had no idea he had a fight coming up.

Anthony Smith (91% finish rate) vs. Aleksandar Rakic (83% finish rate): "Fight does not go to decision" favored at -180.

Ankalaev vs. Cutelaba and Lamas vs. Algeo are the only other fights on the card where the oddsmakers say the fight is probably going to end in a finish. "Fight does not go to decision" favored at -285 and -145 in those two.

Not a huge Just Bleed card based on matchups and finishing rates, but you never know what could happen. It's why we watch.

Well those are 3 fights on the main card you mentioned . Then you have Robbie lawler who is not boring. The only fight left is Alexa Grasso vs. Ji Yeon Kim which could end in a finish.

This might be a full sweep

What happened to the other fight ion?

Covid (Ion). Got pulled.

If I'm counting right, there are only 3 new fighters on tonight's card, which seems low compared to recent cards.

According to Bloody Elbow, UFC signed 35 new fighters this month and the roster is now up to 642 fighters. Both of those might be all-time highs. Lots of new fighters on upcoming cards, I guess.

Viana and Grasso

Yum

God damn betting is getting annoying as fuck. Not because I lose, but because half my bets are void before the card even starts.

Is it just me or is this a pretty solid card?

Main event is a 3 round fight.  So I think it will go to a decision.
