UFC 300 is finally here, and tonight Dana White and the UFC have prepared an amazing lineup of fights for MMA fans. From championship fights to the BMF fight, we’re bound to see some amazing finishes and great fights. Now let me tell you my predictions.
Early Prelims
Deiveson Figueiredo vs . Cody Garbrandt: Starting right off with what may be an unpopular pick, Cody Garbrandt over Figgy. Figueiredo is moving up to bantamweight for this fight and I am hoping/betting that Cody Garbrandt finds a bit of his old self.
Bobby Green vs. Jim Miller: Bobby Green has got to win this one. I love Jim Miller as much as the next guy, but I don’t see a world where he beats Bobby Green in this one. He seems to be just a more overall well-rounded fighter.
Jessica Andrade vs. Marina Rodriguez: Give me Marina Rodriguez in this one. I think Marina’s length is going to give Andrade a problem in this fight and I see her pulling off the upset.
Jalin Turner vs. Renato Moicano: Jalin “The Tarantula” Turner is about as scary as they come in the lightweight division. His striking ability is levels above Moicano’s, which is why I see Turner taking the victory in this fight.
Prelims
Sodiq Yusuff vs. Diego Lopes: Diego Lopes is going to dominate this fight. His high-level Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu is going to be too much for Yusuff.
Holly Holm vs. Kayla Harrison: Um, Kayla Harrison. She’s dominated in the PFL for years and I believe she will do the same in the UFC. Sad that Amanda Nunes is retired but maybe a superfight between these two is in the future.
Calvin Kattar vs. Aljamain Sterling: Now I know Aljamain is a former champ and all that, but he’s moving up to featherweight for this fight. It is a much harder thing to do than it seems and I think Calvin Kattar should be favored in this fight.
Jiří Procházka vs. Aleksander Rakic: This one is the toughest so far. It is extremely evenly matched, but I’m leaning towards Jiri. He’s a former champ and I think he pulls out a victory in this one.
Main Card
Bo Nickal vs. Cody Brundage: This fight may be unwatchable. It is such a mismatch that I don’t understand why it is on the Main Card. Bo Nickal by whatever he wants.
Charles Oliveira vs. Arman Tsarukyan: I’m hoping I’m not blinded by my love for Charlie Olives, but I don’t see why he isn’t favored in this fight. He looked great in his last fight against Beneil Dariush, and the only person he has lost two in a very long time is current champ Islam Makhachev.
Justin Gaethje vs. Max Holloway: Wow what a fight. This is another tough one. But I think it’ll be tough for Max to move up to lightweight and beat Gaethje. Gaethje needs to fight for the belt again and I don’t see Max slowing him down.
Zhang Weili vs. Yan Xiaonan: Weili is a certified beast. Weili all the way, this is my Lock of the Night.
Alex Pereira vs. Jamahall Hill: Again, what a title fight this is. If Jamahal Hill has not been sitting out for about a year, this would be a tougher decision. I think I’m taking Alex Pereira in this one, but I’d advise everyone not to bet on this fight.
