He's a late replacement for Vettori.What has Curtis done for this shot at #6, his fights have generally sucked.
Good opportunity for him, and a chance for Allen to get his last loss back.

You're welcome. Same here man. Just line them up and whatever fight I'm watching I'll usually find something interesting about it. Or I'll do something else. Seems basic to me.Holy crap..
I didn’t realize GDR’s return was this week. If Norma makes weight, that is.
I wonder if GDR would refuse if Norma misses weight? Norma has had 8 UFC fights. 7 of them were at FW. 1 at BW. She weighed 139.5 for the BW fight. And missed once at FW, too.
I really like Norma, but she is NOT a BW. She might make weight, and look like crap. Or if she misses weight, we possibly have GDR’s long awaited return cancelled (I’ve been waiting to see how she looks, after the hiatus, giving birth, and her age).
If GDR is anywhere close to where she was. It could really shake that division up. In 9 UFC fights GDR only lost to Amanda, twice. She’s beaten Rocky, Pena, and Holly (at 145). But the most recent fight, Pena was 3.5+ years ago. And GDR turns 40 later this month.
I have no idea what to expect out of that fight. 3.5 years ago I’d pick GDR all day. But this is tricky. Definitely have to wait for the weigh-ins before I even think of choosing a winner.
Thanks for the thread @PurpleStorm
I'll root for him because you're a cool guy. Both fighters coming off a loss and they each need a strong performance. Going with Bahamondes as in my opinion he's a bit more diverse and creative. Has a few more ways to win, including by submission.I’m half Chilean, so Ignacio Bahamondes bouts always interest me. There aren’t many.
I never realized Calvillo was on a 5 fight losing streak. She's fighting for her life on this one.Past that is the return of Cynthia Calvillo, who looks to stop her years-long skid against Piera Rodriguez;

2, the calvillo one got cancelled.Three chick fights, count em!
YAY
And the Calvillo fight was cancelled. She was 3 pounds overweight. That might be the end of the road right there.I never realized Calvillo was on a 5 fight losing streak. She's fighting for her life on this one.
Thank you for your support.

Keith and Ben preview UFC Fight Night 240 with background, analysis, detailed predictions and picks for all 13 fights. Side topics along the way include the NCAA wrestling tournament (for the last time this season, we swear), HBO's classic series The Wire, and misleading fighter nicknames. The hosts also confess their known biases, serving them up for your perusal.
