We’re just a day away from a pretty solid PPV with UFC 305, and even the undercard has a little razzle dazzle. Once again, I can’t help but laugh to myself when I stop to think what you all are guessing the title means. It would be pretty great to see some of you came up with before you listened to the show. The comments are right there, just in case you want to share.

But right now, let’s see what’s shaking with the prelims. We’re getting a heavyweight bout as the featured prelim, and for that, I will offer up a rare bit of gratitude in keeping unranked heavies on the undercard. Junior Tafa is a crowd favorite and willing to get right in the pocket, so Valter Walker should prepare for that. It’s decent placement for this event. Let’s take a look at the rest of the bouts and some alternative stats:

UFC 305 Undercard

* Junior Tafa vs. Valter Walker 265 lbs

* Josh Culibao vs. Ricardo Ramos 145 lbs

* Casey O'Neill vs. Luana Santos 125 lbs

* Jack Jenkins vs. Herbert Burns 145 lbs

* Tom Nolan vs. Alex Reyes 155 lbs

* Kenan Song vs. Ricky Glenn 170 lbs

* Stewart Nicoll vs. Jesus Aguilar 125 lbs

UFC 305 Alternative Stats

* Ranked fights: 4

* Ranked fighters: 9

* Fighters coming off losses: 15
