From a talent standpoint? Gastelum has a lot of tools in his shed. Especially when he can make 170. Unfortunetly he just appears to lack the discipline. From a fans persepctive hes never been exciting to me but the dude knows how to win.
I havent looked at the size difference with kennedy but tim hasnt fought in eons.but hes a bad ass and been working with brandon gipson. Kevin displayed some awesome footwork against a depeted hemdricks on his last fight but Id take kennedy for money.
moving on...i think matt brown is one tough dude...but hes going to get pieced up by donald. 2nd round sub for cowboy.
Main event? Fuuuuuuck this is s fight. Pettis hasnt exactly looked amazing in his last 4 outings but hes still too you to be past his physical prime though. Max on the other hand is growing snd evolving not just from fight to but from round to round. The thing is i feel like hes going to want to go out there and slug it it out with pettis.
I feel like Anthony is going to catch him good in the first teo rounds at some point. Maybe even rocking a chin that so far has appeared to be unbreakable. Ultimately though insee max adjusting and winning a close decision.
Interim title is bullshit but when you're a professional athlete you should be able to make weight. It makes the sport look back when fighters miss weight on big fights or even in general. There will always be some kind of what ifs for the fight now. Pettis won't get the title shot if he wins. The UFC won't reward him for putting a whole card on the line. This fight is all about Max Holloway now. The UFC should have just let McGregor do what he wants and keep both belts. It would have made them more money anyway instead of giving it to someone who got ko'd in 13 seconds who can't even get 300k ppv buys unless McGregor is on the card or another big fight. Black eye for the sport. It doesn't look good at all
Pettis has been a shell of his former self since he got son'd by RDA. Pettis vs Aldo would be cool but I certainly don't care about it like I did when they both were champ. If Holloway loses they'll probably make Aldo wait given Doo-Ho wins tomorrow and give Doo maybe Pettis if they want to keep him at 145 after this for the shot at Aldo. Unless Doo-Ho gets another 1st round ko over Cub then give him the shot.

I dont see it happening but if pettis wins who else are they going to give aldo? People have wanted that fight for years.
