Its been a while since we’ve really looked at an upcoming UFC event. It used to happen a lot more often – even more so back on NM.
So we’ve got UFC 259 coming up, with 4 champs fighting in 3 title fights.
Adesdanya looks to be the favorite, but I’m hoping the Polish Power connects to the jaw and puts Izzy out. Do I think that’s going to happen, though? Hard to say. The fact that its taking place in a smaller cage (Apex center) does make it more possible. I’m going with Jan, but I’ll likely be wrong on this one.
I def got Nunes over Anderson. Of course, on any given Sunday anything can happen. But I feel Nunes will likely stop her before it gets to the 5th round.
Yan and Sterling is a hard one. Before the Yan-Aldo fight, I’d definitely have chosen Yan. But in that fight he didn’t look to impressive against a faded Aldo (even though he stopped Aldo). I’ll probably still go with Yan, but I’m not too sure about that pick.
I’m also going with Machachev, Cruz, and Thiago Santos. BTW, the Santos-Rakic fight could be a barn-burner!
What’s your pick?
