    Not tomorrow night but the 16th I guess.

    What's the script with it? Give me passable knowledge on the meaningful fights please?

    I´m looking forward to Jimmy Manuwa vs Cirily Diabate, Diabate is a good striker but Manuwa is class, a KO artist.

    I hope Jorge Santiago finally finds his way in the UFC too, I still believe in that guy.

    The main event is Renan Barão vs McDonald, I think Barão is probably going to win in a decision... Or perhaps Barão can get a submission since he is a great ground fighter, McGrain.

    Just know you're gonna see the ****ing future (Renan Barao/Michael McDonald) and I'm NOT talking about Barao.

    Because in the future McDonald will be excellent, but in the present he will not beat Barao?

    Great card McGrain.

    Jimi Manuwa is a Muay Thai demolition man taking on a long and lanky experienced Nak Muay in Diabate.

    James Te Huna is a powerhouse boxer type taking on Jimmo, who is on a good run and blasted his UFC debut opponent with the (literal) first dig of the fight.

    McDonald Vs Barao is a highly interesting battle of strikers. Barao has a slick and nasty ground game that, if his chin holds up, should be the difference.

    Cub Swanson is an awkward and inventive banger taking on (hittable) young gun Dustin Poirier. Both well rounded but this should be a FOTY contender if neither man gets blasted early (I'm taking Swanson inside a minute or so, Poirier should be called Porous)

    Honestly, it's an incredible card with many pick 'em fights. UFC are really taking care of us this time.

    Barao is an animal, he reminds me of that ****ing ****** guy from BloodSport.
