This match is just here for Perreira to put on a show. This cars is weaker then the average PPV so they need some big finish to happen.

Aldo didn't look his usual self but he still looked in pretty good shape considering he's been away 2 years. Just didn't look as cut. 

Pichel as usual looked like he was in tremendous shape given his age. He's got a pretty rough night ahead of him but he looks game as ever. 

Almost didn't recognize clean shaven Brener with no hair dye. Looks like a completely different person. 

Anthony Smith looked as tired as ever. Just doesn't look like he wants to be there at all. Definitely looks like he's in better shape than his fight against Rountree but he just looked utterly dejected.

Also Borrilho and Pettino are at least -500, UFC are really setting up easy finishes for the Brazilian fighters on PPV

Kinda wish the UFC put Shore vs Brito on the main card, more interesting then the set up fights

Pichel is going to lose a controversial decision after surviving a close TKO moment and bonfim gasses himself out you heard it here first.
