UFC Vegas 78 Narratives (Patreon)

Really slim pickings this week but here is what I've got:

Da'Mon Blackshear fighting on his 29th birthday.Two Kansas guys fighting as underdogs from the same gym. Dulgarian and Breeden. Both former Krause guys, now train with Marathon MMA (Trey Ogden) and Factory X (particularly Dulgarian). Both training partners tho.Brazilian showcase card IMHO:2 Brazil vs. Brazil showcase fights on the main cardBrazilian prospects like Amorim, Santos sprinkled on the preliminary.Khalil Rountree coming off three underdog wins is now a favorite. Terrible record as a favorite, fighting a guy off three straight losses but the line suggests Daukaus wins to me personally.Luque brain injury narrative; he was cleared to compete but still scary to hear brain hemorrhage for a fighter.RDA potential McGregor opponent or BMF type of fighter. I think RDA is past prime personally but the market seems to think otherwise.Swanson is a BJJ black belt with a bunch of fights that ended by SUB. Dawodu should win on the feet but he is a minus grappler. Could be a unique path for Cub.
