    Wow, this will be an absolute war for as long as it lasts. Both guys are very well rounded, and both guys love to put on super exciting fights. I'm a big Oliveira fan, but Cub has looked fantastic in his last two outings. I give the edge to Oliveira, but it could definitely go the other way.

    I think that Lamas and KZ should fight for a title shot. I think that whoever wins this fight will still need one more good win before challenging the champ.

    Well generally they put the Champ and the contender on the same card or close to it, so Im guessing thats what they are aiming for with this one

    If cub swanson sticks to the basics instead of doing all this wild unecessary bs he should win.

    Both guys tend to get a little wild. That's what makes this fight look so fun on paper. However, Oliveira looked more disciplined than ever on the feet against Brookins. I know that Brookins has terrible standup, but still.

    cub is better on his feet then olivera. All that wild **** gets him in trouble. Its the simple things that work in mma or boxing.
