The order is not exact as noted by the press release,
however outside of new fights being announced last second this should be the full card.

Thoughts?
Probably going to be like:
Islam vs Poirier
Sean vs Costa
Jailton vs Romanov
Fluffy vs Doldize
Bo Nickal vs Jacob Malkoun - Newly Added Today Via Malkoun
Kopylov vs Almeida
Micky Gall Returns
Randy Brown vs EZDS

Dolidze/Fluffy should be several fights higher on the card. With Costa pullout history that's a very thin card at the top when discounting for probability of bouts. Moreover, Islam is so feared that like 3 of his last 5 opponents have pulled out and they needed to find someone short notice. DP isn't a P so he won't look for an excuse but that's a very thin card w/ a lot of matchmaking risk exactly where it can ill afford.

Need a strong top 10 fight from a top division or top 5 fight from a weaker division IMO. Something like Gamrot/BSD; top 10 caliber fight from a strong division and you have your backups already in camp and on weight.
 
I think Costa speaks better English than Strickland
costa's english is good and strickland speaks fine. i don't like the guy's behavior, but he's more legible than a lot of english speaking fighters (max, conor, paddy, etc.)...
 
Boy these next cards after 300 are garbage

I think the prelims are gonna suffer hard for a while.
However i do think this card isn't bad.

Main card and Some Prelims are pretty decent:
Islam vs Poirier
Strickland vs Costa
Jailton vs Romanov
Fluffy vs Doldize
Kopylov vs Almeida
Gall coming back
EDS vs Randy Brown

Solid card. Not amazing, but several on there worth watching.
