More UFC, More PPV, More rematches.
| Israel Adesanya | vs | Marvin Vettori |
Where do I start? Ok… So who won the 1st fight? I personally think that Adesanya won. But hey… It was close. I think this fight is very very interesting, because Adesanya just lost to Jan Blachowicz, and the style that Jan used, was that suffocating wrestling style, and Vettori just beat Kevin Holland and Vettori used a suffocating wrestling style. It’ll give people something to ponder; Did Adesanya improve? Was Kevin Holland a good style matchup for Vettori before the Adesanya fight? I think all that is moot. I think this fight is going to depend on how solid Vettori’s chin is. I think Adesanya is bigger than Kevin Holland, and has better takedown defense than Holland, but I just think that Vettori will be able to eat some shots and put hands on Adesanya. And new
| Deiveson Figueiredo | vs | Brandon Moreno |
I thought Figueiredo won the 1st fight, but I think poor judging and poor refereeing gave Moreno the draw. I think Brandon Moreno is a very smart fighter. He’s evolved so much, at one time I thought he wasn’t going to be in the UFC for very long, then after he got cut, he got elite-go figure. Anyway, I see Figgy taking this, but I think this fight is very very close.
| Leon Edwards | vs | Nate Diaz |
Leon Edwards hands down. There is no other pick.
| Damian Maia | vs | Belal Muhammad |
The UFC loves Belal Muhammad right now. I think the matchup is favorable. I see Muhammad getting the finish in this one. KO/TKO of course
| Paul Craig | vs | Jamahal Hill |
It seems like more and more of these fights are submission or bust for Craig. I dont see him getting the submission here. One thing to watch for is Jamahal Hill’s gas tank. Hill had the long COVID and was sick for a long time. And I’ve heard that the virus wrecks your lung capacity… So if this fight goes longer that 2 rounds, I’ll be very interested. I still got Hill though
| Drew Dober | vs | Brad Riddell |
Makhachev kinda wrote the blueprint on how to stop Dober. I think Riddell may want to follow that blueprint. Riddell is a blood and guts kinda fighter, so he may go toe to toe with Dober. I see Riddell getting the victory though
| Eryk Anders | vs | Darren Stewart |
Weird ending to the last fight. If Stewart stays out of the clinch and stays on his bike, he’ll win
| Lauren Murphy | vs | Joanne Calderwood |
I think Murphy is physically stronger than Calderwood, but I think Calderwood is much faster than Murphy. Close fight
| Hakeem Dawodu | vs | Movsar Evloev |
I’m not a fan of either one of these guys, but I think Evloev gets it done
| Pannie Kianzad | vs | Alexis Davis |
Kianzad is just younger and stronger, and faster. Pannie likes eating shots to the face though, so she might make it interesting, but I think she’ll get the win here
| Steven Peterson | vs | Chase Hooper |
If Peterson doesnt win this fight, he doesnt belong in the UFC, that’s the long and short of it
| Fares Ziam | vs | Luigi Vendramini |
I like Ziam in this fight. I think he’s the better kickboxer. Vendramini may want to take it to the ground, but I think Ziam will be ready
| Carlos Felipe | vs | Jake Collier |
Not a fan of either of them, but I think Carlos Felipe gets it done
Leon Edwards will be unbroken
