Aljamain Sterling, DEC
3 year layoff I don't trust, most fighters that come back from a massive layoff to a title fight in the past have actually won, however I think aljo is just crazy underrated and Henry is 5"4
Oliveira vs. Dariush
Beneil Dariush, DEC
Okay, I might change but my heart wants Oliveira to win but I don't thin khe will Dariush is mad underrated
Mitchell vs. Pearce
Bryce Mitchell, DEC
He looked awful but it's ilia Topuria man
Andrade vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
Upset for Yan baby
Williams vs. Bedoya
Khaos Williams, TKO, R2
He just too powerful, will probably be losing the whole fight and find the shot

Henry Cejudo, TKO, R4
Despite the big size advantage Sterling will have. I think Henry is the better overall fighter. He’s smoother in the striking, the better pure wrestler and is most certainly tougher. I think it will be a close fight but it will come down to a battle of wills. I think Henry is gonna be stronger in the big moments and will ultimately come away with the TKO victory
Maness vs. Zhumagulov
Zhalgas Zhumagulov, DEC
War Zhaglas. Got cucked in both of his last 2 fights

On the plus side, Drew vs Matt is legitimately an amazing fight. Matt legitimately has a shot here if he mixes up his wrestling. If he wins that would be insane, I’ve been a fan of him since he randomly decided to turn into One-Punch Man

If Dober can keep it standing, he wins by brutal knockout.

LW is such an interesting division now.
I can't wait for others fights for... Tsarukyan, Moicano, Dawson, Moises. btw - these four could be two more fights. But I guess Tsarukyan will wait for Fiziev/Gaethje and Dariush/Oliveira losers. Gamrot also.
Poirier - you never know, man. Strange family guy. Respect to him for cleaning the division out off trash 2 fight in a row.
RDA is done. Also we have Turner
Who do you want to see?
personnaly, I'd watch Turner vs Moicano
Bonfim, McKiney, Kutateladze, Alvarez.... full of fighters without fights

If you match him up with someone who won't wresle him, He do well, But Arman is the 2nd best wrestler and 4th best overall offensive grappler in the division IMO
