If GDR could keep the fight standing against Cyborg she's a far tougher challenge than Nunes, but I'm not sold on her being able to do that. GDR is a way better striker than both Holm and Nunes, we will probably never see that fight tho based on how she ducked her after she won the title.

Lol @ Pettis winning fairly easy, have you seen Pettis fight at all since RDA? He doesn't deal well at all with pressure, Gaethje is one of the best pressure fighters at 155, he will eat Pettis alive for however long it lasts.

Saw someone tweet that the UFC has the match-ups mixed up. Instead of Cowboy vs McGregor and Gaethje vs Pettis; they should go for Gaethje vs Cowboy and McGregor vs Pettis...I dig that.

Also, I have very little enthusiasm for what the UFC is selling this weekend but Ricardo Lamas vs Darren Elkins is a potential FOTY candidate (although I think yair and Zombie locked that award up).
