Good news if you confused Alex "(Brazilian) Cowboy" Oliveira and Charles Oliveira last week, the other one fights tonight. His opponent is a Kevin Lee that did not make weight, again. He weighed in at 158.5 at some point after the weigh in window, how long? who knows.

I somehow found out for the first time about Demian Maia fighting Gilbert Burns as I went to post this thread, that's a great loving co-main.

Johnny Walker makes his return tonight after being standing TKO'd by Corey Anderson, he fights Nikita Krylov, who I strangely don't know much about.

Amanda Ribas is also on this card, she owns, but I'm not sure if that opinion will change if she somehow loses to Randa Markos.

This looks like a really good card, too bad nobody will be there to see it.

Fights start in like 5 minutes.

Krylov was initially going by the nickname "Al Capone" and this was his Sherdog profile picture



As such, he became an instant goon fave

He since changed it to The Miner to honor the area of Ukraine he's from. He's got decent striking, but has shown some grappling deficiencies

This is like a handful less people than the first fight of the night would normally have around this time, it's gonna get way weirder when we get to the people who we're used to seeing.

I cannot tell you how much I'm looking forward to Khabib/Ferguson happening in front of just Dana White, who is visibly doing rails to get over the lost gate revenue.

Being this exhausted and still trying to throw spinning back kicks is an impressive sort of fight IQ.

You've got to get less adrenaline fighting in an empty arena right? But then, do you not burn out the same way? Do you not get fired up at all if there's no crowd cheering you on, or is there less pressure and you can just focus on the job?

With nothing else to do with my time, I have become an expert psychologist.

... you may actually have a point, it's a lot easier to get uppity and rally when you got folks cheering for you. Like even a handful of folks going ape would make a big difference

Edit: Maybe they need to issue bottomless drinks to the press spectators, they'd make noise soon enough

Wow! Started earlier than I expected! Maryna Moroz was in what I suggest is the worst UFC fight ever.

For once, the crowd silence following a majority draw makes sense :v:

This is like a bunch of TUF fights but they figured out how to light the octagon better.
