After defeating Mirko Filipovic in 2013, Alexey Oleinik received an offer from the UFC and still fights there, averaging 2-3 fights a year. Many have repeatedly written him off, but Uncle Lyosha goes against the opinions of others, and at UFC on ESPN 33, he will reappear in the octagon. There he will fight with Ilir Latifi - a light heavyweight in the past, who decided not to waste his strength on a meaningless weight race.

Alexey Oleinik vs Ilir Latifi
Ilir has also managed to be forgotten, and his faded performances in recent years do not particularly attract an audience spoiled by the spectacle. That is why, to match his aging colleague, this athlete may soon find himself outside the promotion. On March 27, these two will decide their fate in the sports field and, taking into account Oleinik's words about the "extinguished fire", we should expect that this will be his farewell performance.
In 2019, a titled freestyle wrestler from Russia named Askar Askarov was signed to the UFC, almost immediately thrown under the elite of the flyweight division. However, this did not bother him at all, and in just a few performances he was able to break through to the very top of the rating table, forcing all the current stars of this category to retreat. And now, as part of the main card of UFC on ESPN 33, he will have to share the place of the main contender with Kai Cara-France.

Askar Askarov vs Kai Kara-France
The New Zealander is famous for his cannon right, and his track record also consists of significant names, although he was still inferior to some of them. In any case, these guys will be a serious test for each other, and on March 27, the next in line for a fight with Deiveson Figueredo or Brandon Moreno will be determined, depending on which of them will hold the title at that time.
There have been quite a few fighters in the UFC who have been at arm's length several times before the title fight, but each time they stumbled before the very finish line. So Curtis Blaydes, given the situation in his career, can be safely attributed to the same “lucky ones”. However, Razor still occupies a high position, so he has a future in heavyweight.

Curtis Blaydes vs Chris Daukas
At UFC on ESPN 33, he was honored to take on Philadelphia prospect Chris Daukas in the main event of the evening, for whom this is his second chance in a row to make it to the top five. The matchmakers, as often happens, decided to bring the striker to the wrestler, so the fight promises to be intriguing. And who is more likely to come out of it as a winner - let's look at our prediction.
Confrontations between Russian fighters on American soil became commonplace when Russian athletes began to be massively signed up for Western promotions. And at UFC Fight Night 204, a pair of heavyweights, Shamil Abdurahimov and Sergey Pavlovich, will split the octagon to challenge the 10th position in the ratings, which, despite recent misses, is still held by a native of Dagestan.

Shamil Abdurahimov vs Sergey Pavlovich
For Pavlovich, this is a real opportunity to become the top, having passed an age-old opponent, but this fight will not be easy for him. Despite its age, the Abrek still has enough gunpowder to compete at a fairly high level. Therefore, we will conduct a detailed analysis before determining a potential winner in this fight.
Ukrainian light heavyweight, Nikita Krylov, has experienced many ups and downs in his long professional career. He returned to the UFC twice, proving his competitiveness over and over again. Once again entrenched in the TOP-10, he will have a very difficult fight with an uncomfortable opponent, the Scot Paul Craig.

Nikita Krylov vs Paul Craig
Craig is distinguished by his hot temper - he never ended the fights with refereeing decisions, even in case of defeats, and his skills on the ground caused problems for many guys from the division up to 93 kg. The classic confrontation between a grappler and a karateka is sure to give the audience a fascinating spectacle, and we, in turn, will single out in this pair the one who is most likely to emerge victorious at UFC Fight Night 204.
Dagestani sambo wrestler Magomed Ankalaev showed himself excellently in the Russian MMA field, and now he is conquering the West, getting closer and closer to the title fight. The next obstacle, it is quite possible that the final one, on his way, was the ex-contender for the belt from Brazil - Thiago Santos. He also went through many difficulties, so he will definitely become a serious opponent for our athlete.

Magomed Ankalaev vs Thiago Santos
Their confrontation will be headlined by UFC Fight Night 203 and the winner will definitely be able to claim their rights as a contender. We, in turn, will analyze who has more chances for victory in this fight, starting solely from dry facts and a detailed analysis of each participant.
The Nurmagomedov dynasty continues to seize the top Western league with confident steps, sending their best fighters there. Umar Nurmagomedov made his debut in the UFC just over a year ago, and at this stage of his career, having collected a number of titles in various sports, he has not known defeat. This time, he was picked up by a worthy opponent - Brian Kelleher, who has more than three dozen fights behind him.


The guys will meet as part of the UFC 272 preliminary card, and for each of them this is an ideal opportunity to express themselves: Umar will beat a veteran with a good track record in the cage, and Brian will beat an opponent without a loss, and even with a big name. Despite the fact that the American is a big underdog, so far, his young counterpart has not faced opposition of such a level, therefore, we can expect a very entertaining confrontation, which will not be easy for one of its participants.
In the history of mixed martial arts, there were many cases when two friends met in a cage and, despite a good attitude towards each other, rolled up excellent fights. But the case of Colby Covington and Jorge Masvidal is even more interesting - they have been friends for many years, trained, shared shelter and food, but now they are ready to tear each other apart, which, in fact, they will do in the main fight of UFC 272.


These two lead their performances in completely different ways, but each of them is extremely dangerous for any representative of the welterweight division. Given these factors, an incredible duel awaits fans and ordinary people, where, quite possibly, their conflict, which has been going on for several years, will be forever closed.
Literally 5 years ago, Andrey Koreshkov shone all over the world, was in the status of the champion of the second most important MMA league in the world, and sorted out the best opposition of that time. However, things have changed a lot now, and it even got to the point that the Spartan is trying to restart his career at Bellator, facing little-known opponents there, like Chansey Rencountry, although he has already fought in the best leagues in the world.

Andrey Koreshkov vs Chancey Rencountry
The sudden replacement of the opponent on the eve of the fight, quite possibly, will play into the hands of our fighter. After all, Mukhamed Berkhamov looked more equipped and advanced in work on the ground. However, Chansey also deserves attention, because they don’t just get into the UFC, and he showed himself very worthy there. So Koreshkov will have to work hard so as not to lose face.
Almost 20 years ago, a native of an Armenian family, Gegard Mousasi, stepped into the professional ring for the first time, starting his long journey in mixed martial arts. And despite the fact that two decades have passed, Dreamcatcher continues to be at the top, dealing with those who arrived in this sport just a few years ago.

Gegard Mousasi vs Austin Vanderford
At Bellator 275, Musashi will defend his middleweight title against undefeated Austin Vanderford. Their meeting will take place at an away event in Ireland, where once again the age-old dispute will be resolved: what has more weight, youth or experience? The answer to this will be given by the fight itself, but who has the best chances for victory this evening, we will tell in our forecast.
Hill and Walker went through a fairly similar path in mixed martial arts, although their backgrounds are completely different. Both became champions in the regional leagues, then came to the Dana White Challenger Series, and, having won bright victories, got into the UFC roster. Now, matchmakers have brought them together in the co-main event of the UFC Fight Night 201 tournament, where the main chairman of the division's top ten will be determined.

Jamaal Hill vs Johnny Walker
Johnny, as if on a carousel, either takes off very high, then falls sharply down, giving out crushing knockouts, and going into them because of his own negligence. Against this background, the question arises: which of the guys will get the victory in the upcoming confrontation? Judging by the quotes of the bookmakers, the Brazilian finisher has long been withdrawn from the accounts, but in his case, it is quite difficult to be sure of any particular outcome.
Russian lightweight Islam Makhachev, who came to the UFC 7 years ago, was immediately considered as the future TOP and "heir" of Khabib Nurmagomedov. But, before getting close to the Candidates fight, he had to go through a whole maze of rivals, and the moment came when he needed to take the penultimate step on the way to the top.

Islam Makhachev vs Benil Dariush
As rivals, he got the 3rd number of the rating, Benil Dariush, who also passed a thorny road, and no less than his counterpart dreams of the coveted gold. They are honored to headline UFC Fight Night 202, and on February 27, the two will face off in the octagon of the best promotion in the world to determine who will next take on the winner of the Charles Oliveira-Justin Gaethje pairing.
When matchmakers bring two knockouts together in the octagon, the audience expects from them a bright, and most importantly, dynamic confrontation, where one of the participants will definitely be knocked out. And Derrick Lewis, paired with Tai Tuivasa, have every chance to give the fans a long-awaited furious knockout in a heavyweight fight.

Derrick Lewis vs Tai Tuivasa
The duo will compete in the second biggest fight at UFC 271 and already have the potential to be nominated for Best Fight or Performance of the Night. Burnt and cunning Derrick against young and explosive Ty - it will be something. We, comparing all the data available about the guys, will determine which of them has more chances to become a winner this evening.
In the fall of 2019, millions of viewers around the planet turned their eyes to the screens, watching one of the most intriguing matches in the UFC middleweight division. That evening, interim champion Israel Adesanya came for the belt of the undisputed king of 84 kg Robert Whittaker, and in a dominant manner smashed the Australian, laying him down in the second round.


After almost two and a half years, they will meet in the octagon for the second time to put an end to their confrontation, or to start one of the best trilogies in the history of the middle division. The pair will headline UFC 271 on the night of February 13th. We, using the language of facts, will predict which of the guys at the moment is more likely to triumph in the upcoming fight.
Kazakhstan is famous for its athletes, who managed to prove that their boxing can be safely equated with the best fighting schools with a worldwide reputation. Gradually, athletes from this country master mixed martial arts, and Shavkat Rakhmonov became one of the few who managed to break into the big leagues, and also the only one who did it without a single defeat in his career.


At the anniversary UFC Fight Night 200, he will face a tough contender - Carlston Harris, who is on an impressive winning streak and threatens his opponents with serious knockout power.

After leaving the UFC in 2016, Ryan Bader was literally reborn, and was able to reach unprecedented heights in Bellator, becoming a double champion there. However, time goes by, and young talents do not stand still, because now, in the once promising top, few people believe. At Bellator 273, he will have one last chance to prove his worth as a heavyweight champion.

Valentin Moldavsky vs Ryan Bader
In opposition to him, they picked up Valentin Moldavsky, who now owns the time zone. And not in vain, the head of the promotion, Scott Cocker, called this battle a competition between a bull and a matador, because despite the significant superiority of the Russian in the coefficients, that same bull (Bader) will always have a chance to win. We, in turn, invite you to understand the question: who, and how exactly, will become a triumphant on January 30, after which they will have the opportunity to lead the heavy weight of Bellator?
After many years of successful career in the UFC, Benson Henderson began to lose ground, and few could have imagined that after leaving the major leagues, he would enter the Bellator cage more than ten times. The best years of the American are far behind, and at the end of his fighting journey, he was challenged by a real monster - Islam Mammadov.


The fight will take place in the co-main event of Bellator 273, and most likely, this run will be the last for Benson, in case of defeat. For a Dagestan athlete, a meeting with such an eminent opponent is a ticket to a successful future, so both have something to lose. Who will get the victory in this fight, and whether it is worth relying on odds that are disappointing for Henderson - let's look at our forecast.
Until a few years ago, Jack Hermansson was seen as one of the main threats to Israel Adesanya. And all because the Swede's grappling created real problems for even the most experienced UFC middle division fighters. Now, the "Joker" has exposed his weaknesses, and is forced to compete outside the top five in the weight category up to 84 kg.

Jack Hermansson vs Sean Strickland
In the main fight at UFC Fight Night 200, he will face the young and ambitious Sean Strickland, who is on a good winning streak and is ready to teach his counterpart a lesson in boxing. Athletes are versatile and ready to show the highest skills on all floors, so the audience will be waiting for a real chess game in the octagon. We will determine which of these monsters is more likely to win in the upcoming battle.
After several successful years of playing in Russia, Said Nurmagomedov got the opportunity to demonstrate his capabilities in the UFC, fully meeting the expectations of fans. Even at such a high level, the fighter did not lose his showiness, and continued to delight the audience with beautiful technical performances.

Said Nurmagomedov vs Cody Stamann
At UFC 270, he will face almost the most serious challenge in his career, because Cody Stamann can be safely called a cardio machine that is always ready for lingering hacks and can withstand serious damage. Each of the athletes has their own special features, so that we will have a competitive confrontation, the likely winner in which we will determine in our detailed forecast.
The UFC featherweight division has stalled with the same challengers fighting the same champions. Only “young blood” can breathe something new into this category, and Movsar Yevloyev, together with Ilya Topuria, have every chance to be among the top weight groups up to 66 kg in the shortest possible time. Their clash will take place at UFC 270, and the intrigue in this fight is just crazy.

Movsar Yevloyev vs Iliya Topuria
The guys do not know defeats in their professional careers, both are very close to the TOP-10, and most importantly, the level of their skills allows them to compete with opponents from any kind of martial arts. Who will prolong their winning streak, and which of the participants will manage to enter the opposition of a qualitatively new level, you will find out in our forecast.
The most anticipated event of 2022 in MMA, according to Dana White, is a fight between the reigning UFC heavyweight champion, Francis Ngannou, and interim champion Cyril Gan. These two have known each other for many years, they grew up as fighters, under the wing of the same coach, in the same gym, and spent more than one hour sparring.

Francis Ngannou vs Cyril Gan
This fight will become the headliner of the anniversary numbered tournament UFC 270 and, looking at its history, it really is believed that in the heat, in the near future, hardly anyone will be able to surpass it. Two drummers dictating different philosophies in their performances will determine who is the best heavyweight on the planet. We, in turn, will figure out which of these two giants has the best arsenal of fighting and personal qualities in order to become a triumphant this evening.
American heavyweight Derrick Lewis has been pleasing his fans with colorful fights in the UFC for 7 years. This is one of the few strikers who managed to gain a foothold in the top of the division for a long time. However, now he will have a meeting with a guy who loves to knock out rivals no less than him - Chris Daukas from Philadelphia.

Derrick Lewis vs Chris Daucas
They were honored to lead the UFC Fight Night 199 tournament, and one cannot but agree that the expectations of the public from this confrontation place a lot of responsibility on the shoulders of athletes. This is the perfect opportunity for Chris to be one of the first in the lineup, but Derrick has definitely prepared a few signature surprises for him.
The chance to see two high-profile drummers from different parts of the world confrontation in the UFC Octagon is too rare to miss the clash of Rafael Fiziev against Brad Ridell. Both managed to gain a status in percussion martial arts and now these two are planning to measure their skills in the cage, because the opportunity to get into the top ten is at stake, or to fight with one of its representatives.

Rafael Fiziev vs Brad Ridell
The fighters will act as the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 31, and on December 5th fans will be able to enjoy the spectacle that the Kyrgyz and New Zealand athletes show in every performance. Regardless of the bookmaker's quotes, we expect an extremely competitive fight, and which of the guys has more chances to win - let's figure it out in our detailed forecast.
Taking a two-week hiatus, the UFC will return to the television screens with another tournament in Vegas, called Vegas 44, or UFC on ESPN 31. The main event of the upcoming event will be a fight between ex-featherweight champion Jose Aldo, and the 4th ranked bantamweight division - Rob Font...

José Aldo vs Rob Font
Despite the slight difference in age, the fighters are at completely different points in their careers, and if Aldo is trying to prove his worth in a sports retirement, then Font, on the contrary, is only now gaining momentum. This makes their fight doubly interesting, as the experience and good condition of the Brazilian will counterbalance the improving top from Boston.
Three years ago, no one could have thought that such a professional athlete as Alexander Emelianenko would act as a pop-MMA fighter, beat bloggers, rappers and his retired colleagues. But, as they say, demand creates supply, because the confrontation between Emelianenko Jr. and Russian American Jeff Monson, as a revenge on his bare fists, does not look so flawed.

Alexander Emelianenko vs Jeff Monson
The organization of the event was taken over by the Hardcore FC league, together with one of the federal TV channels. The meeting will take place on December 10, and despite the fact that the bookmakers have not yet set odds on the participants in the battle, it is already clear who will be given the palm. We, in turn, offer you a more detailed understanding of the balance of power in order to accurately determine the winner of this veteran battle.
Despite the controversial and controversial result of the second confrontation, Dana White, as expected, refused to organize in the future the box office trilogy of Max Holloway and Alexander Volkanovski, upsetting many fans of the Hawaiian. But that doesn't mean the UFC's most popular featherweight will no longer face the Australian champion. To get this battle, he needs one more Victoria, and he will get the opportunity to win it very soon.

Max Holloway vs Yair Rodriguez
As part of the main event of the UFC Fight Night 197 tournament, he will meet with Yair Rodriguez, who will return to the octagon after more than two years of hiatus and will clearly try to prove that he was idle for a reason, allowing him to count on a spectacular fight.
In the UFC, fighters who quickly became popular have repeatedly signed up, and just as quickly disappeared, leaving only a memory of themselves in highlights. These guys include Eric Anders - an abundance of gorgeous fights with his participation adorned promotion tournaments, but the language cannot be called a successful American career.

Roman Dolidze vs Eric Anders
Already on November 14, he will have to enter the cage again, where there will be a similarly charged athlete, in the person of Roman Dolidze. Stylistically, they are complete opposites, which is what makes their fight so interesting. Who will win this evening, and how exactly this fight will end - read our forecast.
In the fall of 2020, Mukhumat Vakhaev, being the reigning champion of the ACA league in the heavyweight division, decided to leave the belt for career growth. But everything turned out in such a way that the fighter came back, and again won the right to challenge the title, which is now owned by Tony Johnson. The overweight American frightens his rivals with his striking power, but Vakhaev is ready to oppose him with his struggle. Their meeting will be the main event of ACA 132, and will be held within the absolute division. Who will take over? A tough drummer or a technical parterre master? We will understand this issue with the help of a detailed analysis of the participants in the fight.

Mukhumat Vakhaev vs Tony Johnson
An Australian, Tai Tuiwasa, despite his position in the rankings, has a fairly large fan base, and every fight of his is a show where he, or his rival, ends up on the floor. The athlete managed to restart his career after a series of defeats, and now he has an excellent opportunity to appear in the TOP-10, if Augusto Sakai does not become a serious obstacle for him. The guys will meet in the framework of the UFC Fight Night 198 tournament, and the winner will be able to enter the opposition of a qualitatively different level, so there is definitely something to fight in this fight.

Tai Tuivas vs Augusto Sakai
A large fee, worldwide popularity, a title shot - none of this can motivate a fighter to perform better than the prospect looming on the horizon to be left without a contract due to unsatisfactory results. And the career path of Marcin Tybura perfectly confirms this. Having found himself on the verge of losing his place in the UFC two years ago, today the Pole is leading a streak of five victories and, moreover, has every chance of becoming the next contender for the title chance. But in order to do this, first he must beat Alexander Volkov, who had previously lost the fight for the interim champion title and now clearly does not intend to roll back to the margins of the official league rankings, as a result of which the opposition of athletes scheduled for the expected UFC 267 tournament on October 30 promises to become one of the best fights of the evening.

Alexander Volkov vs Marcin Tybura
History is cyclical, and this also applies to mixed martial arts. Until recently, it was difficult to imagine that the UFC would return to old school times, when fighters who today, at the same age, would have long admired gloves hanging from a nail, fought for the championship of the promotion. However, thanks to the efforts of the Brazilian mastodon Glover Teixeira, this has become a reality. Over the past three years, he has stopped five tough opponents, which gave him the chance to win the league title at 42 and take second place to Randy Couture in the ranking of the oldest fighters to ever win the organization. True, it will definitely not be easy for him to do this, because his obstacle on this path is Jan Blakhovich, who is now at the peak of his form.

Jan Blachovic vs Glover Teixeira
Recently, fans of mixed martial arts have been actively discussing the prospects of Islam Makhachev in the UFC, who is expected to fully replace Khabib Nurmagomedov. And these expectations have quite good reasons for them, because very soon the Russian prospect may break into the very top of the lightweight league, being one step away from the cherished title chance. Walking on a streak of eight victories, he will fight in a cage against an inveterate representative of the division in the person of Dan Hooker, who at first glance seems to be an easy opponent for him, but, nevertheless, is a guy who can upset anyone and will undoubtedly do everything. to make this fight spectacular and memorable. The face-to-face meeting of the athletes will take place in the maincard of the UFC 267 tournament, which will be held on October 30.

Islam Makhachev vs Dan Hooker
Women's fights, despite their increased popularity, do not cause as much public interest as men's fights, no matter how someone tries to fix it. However, there are times when fans are eagerly awaiting the appearance of their favorites in the octagon, and Rose Namayunas' rematch against Weili Jang is one of them. Their fight at UFC 261 shocked the public, and the losing Chinese title still considers that stoppage premature.

Rose Namayunas vs Weili Zhang
Now she will have the opportunity to rectify the situation and get even with the American at UFC 268, in the co-main event of the event. Is Rose ready to carry out the first defense as convincingly as she did when she took the belt? We will get an answer to this question only while watching the fight, and now our task is to determine which of the participants has the most chances of winning.
Despite the fact that for two years the holder of the UFC middleweight champion, Israel Adesanya, has easily stopped one challenger after another, it is still too early to say that we are dealing with a dominant champion. The themes of his low resilience and weak grappling skills have still not been fully explored, while there are still guys on the promotion roster who can do it, such as Paulo Costa and Marvin Vettori. And although both athletes have already lost to the New Zealander before, each of them can get another chance to give answers to questions of interest to many fans of mixed martial arts.

Paulo Costa vs Marvin Vettori
But first of all, they will have to find out who is more worthy of this opportunity. In the main event of UFC Fight Night 196, which will take place on October 24, their face-to-face meeting will take place, which promises to result in a competitive and uncompromising fight, because the feeling of revenge is a great motivator.
The first fight of Andrey Orlovsky under the UFC banner took place in 2000, and this athlete still manages to perform at such a high level, albeit with varying success. At the Fight Night 195 tournament, as a co-main event of the event, he will have to fight the Brazilian Carlos Filipe, who is the young blood in the heavyweight division of the organization.

Andrey Orlovsky vs Carlos Filipe
Top places in the ratings are not at stake, and even more so any title ambitions of one of the fighters. Still, this is a great opportunity for Carlos to gain a media boost if he manages to surpass the veteran who still threatens his opponents with his heavy punches. Let's move on to the analysis of the athletes and find out which of them will be the triumph of the upcoming meeting.
In 2015, Ukrainian athlete Marina Moroz was signed to the UFC with 5 professional fights under her belt. Now, "Iron Lady" will enter the 9th fight under the auspices of the best MMA promotion in the world, and will be opposed by the winner of the "Dana White Contenders Series", Luana Carolina. The girls will play on the undercard of UFC Fight Night 195, and for Marina it will be a comeback after a long absence of a year and a half.

Marina Moroz vs Luana Carolina
Fighters with a bright and engaging image have always been in demand in MMA, even if their results left much to be desired. Johnny Walker is a prime example of this. It was assumed that two defeats in a row alienated him from the prospect of fighting against the strongest representatives of the light heavyweight division of the UFC for at least a few next appearances. But in fact, in his case, one not the most confident victory was enough to reach the top of the division. One way or another, the new opponent of the shocking Brazilian will be his compatriot and league veteran Thiago Santos. And this is a great matchup, as both fighters are now in dire need of victory and represent kickboxing school, which is why their meeting, which will take place on October 3 as part of the main event of UFC Fight Night 193, promises to be remembered by the audience for its tension and entertainment.


The honor of opening the first October UFC tournament fell to the girls from the lightest weight category - Antonina Shevchenko, and the Australian undefeated athlete, Casey O'Neill, who train in the same club - Tiger Muay Thai. “Panther” got into a very difficult situation due to defeats to all top rivals, and now they shouldn't think about getting to the top of the division.

Antonina Shevchenko vs Casey O'Neill
But Casey, on the contrary, only this year broke into the promotion, and has already won important victories for herself. Their meeting will take place in Las Vegas, under the banner of the UFC Vegas 38 tournament, or as it is numbered at the official level - UFC Fight Night 193. Which of the ladies has more chances of triumph in this fight, and what is the balance of power for this pair - we will analyze in forecast.
At the first UFC Fight Night 193 event in October, the two league middleweights will be tied for the top 15 in the division. Kevin Holland has already managed to fall in love with the public for his unconventional fighting style and loud finishes, but his opponent, Kyle Dokas, while fighting with little-known opposition, while losing most of his performances in the world's best promotion.

Kevin Holland vs Kyle Dokas
Their fight will become a co-main event of the upcoming tournament, and this time the matchmakers again decided to bring athletes from different schools together: the drummer, in the person of Kevin, will try to stop the pressure of the skillful grappler. Despite the difference in odds, this confrontation can become very competitive, and our task is to find out whose technique and skills will be the best in this case.
In the history of mixed martial arts, there have been many examples of fighters who did not have the ability to adapt to their opponents and simply refused to fight reasonably. Ion Cucelaba is a vivid example of this caste of athletes, because he doesn't care what the opponent's plan for the fight is, the only goal for this guy is to take the head off the one who stands in front of him.

Ion Cucelaba vs Devin Clark
In the third most important fight at UFC Fight Night 192, the Moldovan Hulk will face Devin Clark, who also does not have a high fighting IQ. Neither one nor the other is included in the ratings, so a victory in this confrontation for any of them will be an opportunity to cover past failures and start moving forward.
UFC veteran Anthony Smith has long been considered a serious threat to light heavyweight champion John Jones until he came face to face with him. After, the career of "Lionheart" began to decline, but now he has come to another "rebirth", having gained a couple of convincing victories.

Anthony Smith vs Ryan Spann
In the main event of the evening at UFC Fight Night 192, Anthony will face “Superman” from Texas - Ryan Spann, who has gained serious momentum lately. The high percentage of early victories for both promises the audience a bright spectacle, and who will emerge from it as the winner - we will analyze it in our forecast.
The heavyweight division is currently the most competitive division in the UFC, with many prospecting a chance to win the title. One of the best Russian heavyweights in the industry, Sergei Pavlovich, also has it, however, so that after pronouncing this statement does not leave an aftertaste of uncertainty, you first need to see what he is after two years of inactivity.

Tom Aspinall vs Sergey Pavlovich
And this can be done on September 5 when watching the UFC Fight Night 191 tournament, in which Tom Aspinall will become his opponent. The Briton certainly cannot be called a fighter chosen for an easy return, since, along with the Russian, he is one of the main avenues for the heavy weight of the organization and has not yet lost under its sign, as a result of which an exciting and competitive confrontation awaits us.
You can look at three things endlessly: how the fire burns, how the water flows and how Amanda Nunes gets rivals who neither in theory nor in practice pose any danger to her. It is difficult to say how long this will last, since it seems that Dana White himself does not know for what reason he is not organizing her trilogy with Valentina Shevchenko.

Forecast for the fight Amanda Nunes vs Julianna Peña
Julianna Pena, once a promising athlete who at one time had every chance to gain a foothold in the top list, agreed to become the next victim of the double league champion, but in the end decided to take up her personal life, and returning after two and a half years of downtime, she won two victories with one defeat, which earned her a title chance. The face-to-face meeting of the athletes will take place as part of the second most important event of the UFC 265 tournament, which will be held on August 8.
In the UFC welterweight category, a difficult situation has developed: the dominant champion Kamaru Usman does not plan to leave the throne, and there are no new contenders on the horizon yet. For this reason, the title holder has to beat the same opponents in the second round, but in the near future the situation may change.

Vicente Luca vs Michael Chiesa
The Brazilian athlete, Vicente Luce, has come close to the top five, and the last obstacle before getting into the elite list is Michael Chiesa. In the main card of UFC 265, these two will challenge for a place not only in the rating table, but also in the race for the title, so a lot of attention will be focused on their confrontation, especially from the promotion management.
The third most important fight at UFC 265 will be the confrontation of Brazilian veterans from the lightest weight category – ex-champion Jose Aldo will clash with Pedro Munoz. For Jose, this match is an extremely risky undertaking, because the opponent is much lower than him in the ratings, but there was simply no other way out for the matchmakers, since the "King of Rio" lost to most of those who were in higher positions.

Forecast for the Jose Aldo vs Pedro Munoz fight
Given the style in which athletes fight, we will expect a tense and definitely competitive duel. Our task is to help you figure out which of the participants has the best chance of winning, because despite the quotes, the result may be the most unexpected.
