Just check the card now, It is the best card since 300 and the first good  PPV since then too, pretty hyped for it

Aspinal vs Blaydes is for the heavyweight belt btw, If the "champ" scared to fight the interim champ, he no champ

This card is full of fights that I see going to a decision. Very fittin that Leon and Belal will headline it. 

Only fight I am sure is going to deliver a finish is the Aspinall one.

Edwards vs. Muhammad II
Leon Edwards, DEC
You know, maybe I'll end up changing my pick cuz I've been so back & forth between the two. Even tho Belal is my least favorite fighter hands down, I have to admit the facts & it's that he's gotten so much better to the point that he's winning fights that he should be losing. Leon on the other hand has been fighting killer after killer especially w/ the belt around his waist now & I see that reach & height advantage coming in clutch here to outpoint Belal on the outside for majority of the fight. Although the 1st fight was 3 years ago, the fight still took place & both know how it was really going down & Leon knows exactly what he was doing right. If he really wants to secure a win here, he needs to put that pressure on like he did the first time around to keep Belal from timing a takedown. The more range he gives him, the better it'll be for Belal to time him, slide underneath a shot, & go for Leon's legs. Might end up changing my pick at some point MAYBE, but maybe I'm just a little bias too cuz I got to meet Leon in person for UFC 300 in NJ :).

Aspinall vs. Blaydes II
Tom Aspinall, TKO, R1
Easy lock here. Aspinall could even somehow get a SUB but I trust he's more confident to keep it on the feet & strike after the work he put in w/ his hands to score himself that 1st RD KO against Pavlovich.

Allen vs. Chikadze
Arnold Allen, DEC
Very possible the height & reach advantage favors Giga in this bout here but I doubt it, He's much older & if Allen puts the pace on him & keep him on the back foot he can wear him down to earn a gritty hard fought DEC or even late TKO poss.

Mokaev vs. Kape
Muhammad Mokaev, DEC
Might change my pick after some video research, but just based off of stats and the top of my head, I feel that Mokaev's control time either on the ground or against the fence will earn him that UD victory.

Green vs. Pimblett
Bobby Green, DEC
I honestly feel like I have to go w/ Bobby after his last fight w/ Jim Miller. He was NOT supposed to come back the same after all those unanswered shots that he took against, Jalin & yet he put a beatdown on Miller as if it never even happened. Bobby has the experience & has seen everything of what Paddy is bringing to the table. Would I be shocked if Pimblett won? Def not. But Bobby is just too mean & a such a solid entrance for anyone to take on entering the Top 15 of arguably the UFC's most stacked division.

Aspinall is nothing new, just a slim shane carwin, struggles eveytime he cant get a first round finish. Ive seen the hype before so many times, i dont trust the favorite so comfortably

If Belal looks like he did in their first fight, he will lose badly here.

Belal is doing his camp with Islam and Khabib so he should be at his best. In the striking it won't be close though. Probably Over 1.5/2.5 rounds for me.

@jeffferson 
Nah, I hate Belal and i've been watching every UFC event religiously for quite some time now. I also watch other promotions sometimes and follow fighters podcasts etc.. as well as general midia about the sport so I don't think I am a casual. 

Belal was hated way before I started watching MMA but I think the first of his fights that I watched live was the Belal vs Burns fight, when he could not finish a one armed Burns that had his mental completely shattered after the injury in round 1 I belive. 

After that joke of a performance I truly understood why people don't **** with him. I would honestly have given the title shot to shavkat over belal just because I value his finishes and entertaining fights higher than belal winning streak, but he is hurt so belal should be the one to fight. Just hope the division can move foward already.
