- Veronica Macedo was expected to face Lina Lansberg at the event. However, Macedo pulled out of the fight on February 28. She was replaced by promotional newcomer Lucie Pudilova. The fighters first met in 2015, when Lansberg won via unanimous decision at Battle of Botnia 2015 in Sweden.

Thanks to the Puertorican for letting me use this content.

This could be Makwan Amirkhani's first fight since he moved to train with Conor McGregor, Artem Lobov & others out of SBG Ireland.

It'll be interesting to see how much of a difference that changes makes, if any.

Gunnar Nelson also trains part time at SBG Ireland.

I like how the UFC is giving many hometown fighters a chance to fight on their native country.

Or at least near to their regional geographic area.

Thanks for the info.  It's nice to see another avid fan of the UFC who does a lot of research too.  Please post in the UFC threads more, would be glad to learn and get more news and info from you.

Anyway, for this event, all I'm looking forward to is Gunnar Nelson vs  Alan Jouban.  The rest not so much.

This is going to be an easy pick when it comes to gambling and these fight nights and under cards are the best place to make some real money.
Jimi Manuwa being a good striker he can finish Corey Anderson in the first or second round,Gunnar Nelson is a good grappler he will control the fight against Alan Jouban and my other pick will be Joseph Duffy ,the rest of the card i should take a closer look to take a decision.

[bbc.reporter]

I have no bets for this card and it is nothing to get excited about. Maybe I will bet the overs and unders just to have a money interest in the fights, or maybe follow krach's picks again as usual.

[krach]

Ive got two main picks so far
Jimi Manuwa
Daniel Omielanczuk

I might add some more as the week goes on or after I watch the real weigh ins.

There are some tempting underdogs on this card but have not pulled the trigger on most of them so far, just
Omielanczuk who I think has good value at 2.50

Manuwa and Gunnar Nelson for me. I waiting for Gunnar's next fight because I saw his last fight and won Submission (rear-naked choke) with a Performance of the Night award. While Jimmy Manuwa also won his last bout via KO over Ovince Saint Preux and was only a Performance of the Night. And his only lost came from the hands of Rumble and Alexander Gustafsson two highly ranked fighter.

[DRaGoN RaNTaRo]

@TravelMug Even i accept that Jimi Manuwa is a physical freak when it comes to power and he could really knock out anyone in the division and i think he can win against Corey Anderson,but Rumble johnson is a different animal with freak strength and if he touches you go down .

Yes! I will follow you again on the Daniel Omielanczuk bet. I will wait for the weigh-ins before going for Jimi Manuwa. I might get a little extra value if the lines move.

[tokeweed]

Hey guys, here are the weigh ins for the event.  Both guys for the main event are ripped!  It would be nice to see the winner get a title shot just to get some new blood going for the title at LHW.  Seeing the same faces over and over in Cormier, Johnson and Gus gets a bit old.

Corey Anderson (205) vs. Jimi Manuwa (205)
Alan Jouban (170) vs. Gunnar Nelson (170)
Brad Pickett (139) vs. Marlon Vera (140)
Arnold Allen (145) vs. Makwan Amirkhani (146)
Joseph Duffy (155) vs. Reza Madadi (155)
Francimar Barroso (204) vs. Darren Stewart (206)
Timothy Johnson (264) vs. Daniel Omielanczuk (240)
Marc Diakiese (155) vs. Teemu Packalen (155)
Oluwale Bamgbose (184) vs. Tom Breese (185)
Leon Edwards (169) vs. Vicente Luque (169)
Ian Entwistle (139) vs. Brett Johns (136)
Scott Askham (185) vs. Brad Scott (185)
Lina Lansberg (135) vs. Lucie Pudilova (133)

Enjoy!

I did not know another event is in the corner ,we have Corey Anderson V Jimi Manuwa and since this is in London i am not sure how a decision win will look like as i have seen some weird results when it comes to decisions,Gunnar Nelson will win against Jouban as this will be a tough fight for Jouban,then in the 145 pounds we have Makwan Amirkhani and i think he could defeat Arnold Allen.So these are my predictions in this card.

[tokeweed]

Here are the results of the event.  I honestly skipped watching this live, I'll just watch the replay later when I don't have anything better to do.The main event and co main events' outcomes were expected and they were nothing interesting imho.  Maybe the UFC has spoiled us with all the hype and the drama in the previous events.  This one had almost none, and didn't quite pique my interest.

It was a good card and i won my bets with Gunnar Nelson and Joe Duffy as it was the easiest bet and my parlay win is still pending in cloudbet but the directbet winnings are back  . I knew Jimi Manuwa could knock Corey Anderson but i thought Corey will try and control him with his wrestling credibility as he was a NCAA Division III wrestler.

Hey good to know that you won dude. Gunnar Nelson and Manuwa was the easiest pick in the card. Funny thing is Jimi, calling boxer  David Haye lol. Connor setting the precedent I guess for calling Floyd. What's it with MMA now calling a boxer? I agree with him, he needs to fight the winner of DC Anthony Rumble Johnson. And he said that he has ino interest in fighting Jon Jones because he is legacy is tainted with "steroids" used.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

As predicted earlier i had my winnings and i like these type of matches and it is quite easier to make money than the PPV and i did predict Jimi Manuwa to finish Corey Anderson and Gunnar Nelson to control Alan Jouban and those predictions were easy if you look at their past performance and my next pick was Joseph Duffy and i am happy to win a good share with this card,never got the time to look at the rest of the card,looking forward to more UFC events.

 

[eaLiTy]

@ Kemarit cheers buddy ,Connor Mcgregor being a trash talker and everything he is really showing these fighters that they can have other fights outside MMA and Jimi Manuwa is a good striker and it will be really interesting to see him box David Haye in the prelims and it will be a huge pay day for him and so he is calling for that shot.Everyone knows that Jon Jones does not take any performance enhancing drugs he was popped because he took some dick pills  and now his opponents can trash him for getting caught.

[pereira4]

Im saving money on those FN nights by not betting, I would have always lost money if I bet on the FN nights since I have no idea who those fighters are.

So im saving for the bigger fights.

[TravelMug]

I also pick the correct winners as well but I didn't bet. lol.  Maybe I would try next time so that I can have easy money as well. Going back to the fight, I think Jimi Manuwa should (try to) avenge his lose to Alexander Gustafsson forgot about DC or Rumble or even Jones. I want to see him against Alex because I think he has chances of winning against him and will be a back and forth fight and will be exciting as well.
