Everyone's calling this a subpar card but It has some VERY notable names:
Gaziev(interesting HW prospect)
Vitor Petrino vs Tyson Pedro
Umar Nurmagomedov vs Bezkat 17-1 Kazakh
Steven Erceg vs Matt Schnell
Muhammad Mokaev vs Alex Perez

Anyone else think Umar and Mokaev's previous opponents were more interesting than who they're fighting now? Perez is on a 2 fight losing streak and Umar is facing a guy making his UFC debut.

Kudos to them for staying busy but neither matchup is very compelling.
Honestly it sounds crazy, but if Mokaev smokes Perez and gets ranked 6-7.
Considering everyone else in the top 5 Pantoja has beat already(Aside from Albazi, but he pulled out of a fight) and there's an Abu Dhabi/Brazil card coming up.. There's a slight chance they might express him to a title shot after this fight.
 
Just noticed Ariel Helwani's twin is fighting Javid Basharat on the prelims. This might be the best fight on the card.

Javid is a future BW title contender and Aieman is on a nice run himself. Surprised this isn't on the main card.

That's a very real possibility.

Mokaev has said his goal is to break Jon Jones record for becoming the youngest UFC champion. Jones was 23 when he won the title. Mokaev is about the same age now.

I'd like to see him fight Royval or Moreno first but I can see the UFC giving him the title shot if Pantoja is out of opponents.
 
It's a great card, just main event in wrong spot

Also Joel alvarez vs Klein is an awesome matchup

Didn't Alvarez withdraw?

It's a sneaky good card full of good matchups in the lower weightclasses.

It's one of those cards where in 2-3 years, one or two of these guys will be contenders or even champs.

Fights off, wiki AND UFC site isnt up to date.
The prelims have taken a battering, they better hope the main card doesnt suffer the same fate https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UFC_Fight_Night:_Rozenstruik_vs._Gaziev
Edit: Alvarez's Wiki still has him fighting 2 opponents, did he get double booked and nobody noticed? shits confusing lol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joel_Alvarez

That's a very generous way of putting "Umar gets fed an untested debutant".
