Full Fight▶ Holloway stops Gaethje Ilia Topuria · Justin Gaethje · UFC Freedom 250 UFC 300 — knocked out in the final second of five rounds. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 41:30 Doesn't buy that Gaethje still has the one-shot power to put Topuria away — sees Topuria hurt him, start the attack, and finish inside two. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 29:04 Topuria's cage-cutting and one-punch power are too much — he works into the pocket, rips the body, and lands the overhand on top for a first-round finish. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 24:15 Topuria is too fast and hits too hard, and beats Gaethje almost anywhere; only a weather-the-storm grind gives Gaethje a chance — expects a first-round KO. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 2:38 Topuria is a precise, ungodly-powerful technician and a heavy favourite — to him, backing Gaethje is backing the likely loser. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Luke Thomas · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 9:52 Calls the fight one-sided for Topuria — sees Gaethje's only path as pressure and leg kicks. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Chael Sonnen · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 5:25 Won't call it — argues you're either overrating Topuria or underrating Gaethje, and admits he doesn't know which. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Alexander Volkanovski · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 12:03 Breaking down his own loss to Topuria, he expects Gaethje to shell up and try to drag the champion into deep water — but reads Topuria as too sharp and too defensively safe, and sees him finish the moment Gaethje opens up, likely inside three rounds. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Islam Makhachev · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 0:07 Calls Gaethje a legend but a step slow now — sees a new generation taking over and backs Topuria as the man for the lightweight era. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 38:57 Gane ("Gan") stings him early and may win a round, but Pereira's superior striking technique and accumulating low kicks/body shots wear Gane down until he crumbles to the cage pressure. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 23:36 Zahabi ("Amy/Amian Zahabi") lacks the sudden power or grappling to threaten O'Malley ("Shaun Ali/Omali"), who will be too there-to-be-hit and get clipped for a vintage highlight KO in the first or second round. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 18:07 Hokit ("Josh Hockett") puts a crazy pace on a fading, quit-prone Lewis, dominating top position and ground-and-pound for a first-round TKO crumble. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 15:06 Chandler no longer has the strength game to control Ruffy ("Mauricio Huffy"), who finishes him violently on the feet. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 12:52 Daukaus ("Kyle Dorcas") is dangerous on the feet, breaks Nickal down with strikes and clinch work, and eventually catches him in a D'Arce ("dash") choke off a lazy takedown. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia The MMA Guru · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 7:23 Lopes ("Diego Lopez") is better and made a career of catching pressure fighters coming in, so he survives Garcia's early rush and finishes him with ground-and-pound in the first round. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 18:58 Despite being a vocal Pereira fan, he thinks Gane is too fast, too clean and too big for Pereira to walk down and knock out at heavyweight. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 16:38 Sean is the far more accurate striker with more power and controls the range against a Zahabi who doesn't threaten takedowns or move forward. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 12:54 Hokit has no quit and relentless forward pressure, while Lewis has shown he'll quit when a finish isn't coming; his most confident pick on the card. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 9:47 Chandler will fight to entertain rather than wrestle, and Ruffy's big finishing power will smack him; one of the more confident picks on the card. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 6:41 Nickal won't get submitted, should get the takedowns he wants, control where the fight goes and win almost everywhere. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia We Want Picks · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 2:55 A tiny lean for Diego: once you factor in his grappling and five-round title-fight experience he's the more dangerous overall. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 23:20 Pereira's leg kicks limit Gane's footwork and force a mistake, then Pereira counters with the left hook and finishes with ground-and-pound to become the first three-division champ. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 18:17 O'Malley's striking is on a far higher level and Zahabi has seen nothing he can't handle, but Zahabi's toughness keeps him alive to a decision. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 15:48 Hokit's speed and feints freeze Lewis, he blitzes in, scores the takedown and finishes with elbows and hammer fists. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 13:44 Chandler's fight IQ won't let him wrestle on the White House card; he swings haymakers and gets flatlined by Ruffy's check left hook and right straight. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 11:08 Nickal out-wrestles and controls Daukaus, defending submissions to advance position and winning on composure and wrestling by decision. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia TheWeasle · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 7:34 Lopes is far more durable than Garcia, who is too open for his own good, so Lopes weathers a chaotic first and knocks him out in the second. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 17:21 Bisping favoured Gane on points the moment the fight was made — a Pereira win would be an upset. Gane's speed, lateral movement, angles and natural heavyweight size are a problematic stylistic matchup for a Pereira who walks straight forward, and the mass that lets Pereira hit hard also slows him down. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 32:07 O'Malley is taller with better boxing and a longer reach, and Bisping leans on the Chito Vera common opponent — what O'Malley did to Vera versus how close Zahabi's own fight with Vera was — while admitting MMA math doesn't really stack up. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 32:24 Leans toward Hokit's speed, pressure and gas tank troubling a ~42-year-old Lewis, but won't commit — 'can Lewis land flush? I don't know.' The explicit 'Hokit' call late in the video is a guest's, not Bisping's; he frames a one-punch Lewis spark as the surprise, not his prediction. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 28:38 All signs point toward Ruffy getting a spectacular knockout. He's precise, taller and longer with spinning kicks and flying knees and now trains with Volkanovski, while Chandler has lost five of his last six and taken a lot of damage. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 32:46 Picks Nickal but with real hesitation — the spot on the card where he can most see an upset. Daukaus has surged with two first-round finishes since returning, while Nickal is still proving he's a complete mixed martial artist. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia Michael Bisping · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 32:02 Lopes is probably going to beat Garcia despite Bisping loving Garcia. He expects Lopes — who did much of his camp at Oklahoma State — to shoot takedowns and use his jiu-jitsu rather than bang with Garcia, whose finishing power is most dangerous on the feet. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Demetrious Johnson · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 26:02 DJ sees Topuria as the most disciplined boxer he's watched, with elite fight IQ, and notes anyone who gets into a shootout with him goes to sleep. Gaethje's chin has been cracked repeatedly, and Topuria will willingly eat a shot to land his own. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane Demetrious Johnson · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 19:10 DJ leans Pereira because he's more engaged and 'not scared to fight,' and the fighter who isn't scared usually wins. The uncheckable calf kicks are Pereira's greatest weapon, though DJ flags real uncertainty over how Pereira moves at heavyweight. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi Demetrious Johnson · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 12:30 DJ picks O'Malley, who he sees in a flow state with strong takedown defence that makes it hard for Zahabi to close the distance. Zahabi's only real path is to grapple O'Malley onto his back with a near-perfect game plan. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit Demetrious Johnson · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 8:04 DJ expects Hokit to push the pressure, get in Lewis's face and frustrate him, since Lewis typically only hunts one big 'hitter-quitter' shot. Hokit always pushes the pace and shows up to fight — though Lewis can always land and catch him. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler Demetrious Johnson · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 2:36 DJ takes Ruffy as too dynamic and just as athletic as Chandler, with his eyes set on gold. He thinks Chandler is at the tail end of his career — one win in his last six — and is out there to have a good time rather than chase titles. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 29:39 Wade sees Topuria as better everywhere — boxing, striking variety, a far superior grappling and submission game, and a near-indestructible chin. The decisive read is that Gaethje gets hit more than he hits, and the men who finished Gaethje, Topuria also finished. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 24:16 Wade's flagged upset: he had Pereira the whole buildup but makes a late switch to Gane, reasoning that Gane is the better athlete and a natural heavyweight while Pereira carries unnatural ~250 lb that may sap the speed and timing his counter-punching needs. No one has ever knocked Gane out. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 16:18 Wade leans on Zahabi getting hit nearly as often as he lands — a bad idea against O'Malley, who thrives once he finds his flow on a striking-heavy card. He cites coach Tim Welch calling it their best, healthiest camp, and frames it as O'Malley needing a statement. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 13:08 Wade expects Hokit to lean on his elite wrestling rather than trade with Lewis's power — the only way he sees Lewis winning. The grappling wears down the older, slower Lewis, who tends to check out when tired, while Hokit mixes in ground-and-pound for a clean-sweep decision. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 10:17 Wade rates Ruffy as possibly one of the most talented strikers in the world, with size and reach edges, and is confident Chandler — who can't resist turning fights into brawls to please the crowd — invites exactly the firefight he shouldn't and gets brutally knocked out. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 7:35 Wade calls it close but takes Nickal to a smart, safe decision: implement his wrestling and top game without gassing or swinging wild, and crucially without getting caught in one of Daukaus's many submissions. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia The W.A.D.E. Concept · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 5:08 Wade thinks fans are sleeping on Garcia, who he believes should be favoured — on a long streak with seven KOs in his last eight. He argues Lopes is easily hittable, and while Lopes owns one of the best chins he's seen, even that chin can eventually be broken, and Garcia is the man to do it. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 33:56 He expects Gaethje to fight patient and movement-heavy like the second Poirier fight — calf kicks, lateral movement, clinch ties to extend it — but believes Topuria is too hard to hit cleanly. Topuria may look bad early reading Gaethje, then in round two make a read and land something brutal. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 24:38 He calls it the trickiest fight on the card and admits Gane has the size, reach and skill to win, but says Gane has the lowest fight IQ he's seen and will sabotage himself. He expects Pereira more comfortable in the pocket and a close decision, maybe via a Gane mistake. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 17:53 He thinks O'Malley styles on Zahabi with oblique kicks, body front-kicks, jab and straight punches against Zahabi's pressure-boxing. He credits Zahabi's kicks and toughness and a viable takedown threat, but expects O'Malley to defend, threaten guillotines and win clearly. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 16:39 He dismisses Lewis as a flat-footed puncher who flops around at range, and sees Hokit as the better athlete in cardio, striking, grappling, heart and fight IQ. He expects Hokit to melt Lewis on the fence or take him down for a first-round TKO; Lewis's only path is a fluke overhand. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 15:16 He calls Chandler washed and expects Ruffy to systematically break him down. Chandler may find early success with kicks and pressure, but as he loses composure and abandons the game plan, Ruffy counters with uppercuts, knees and straight rights and finishes with ground-and-pound in the third. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 10:36 He admits he wanted to pick Daukaus — better jiu-jitsu, a real sweep and submission path — but thinks Daukaus lacks the athleticism to pressure Nickal the way Rakhmonov did. He expects an early blast double, the takedown threat established, then a level-change overhand for a round-two TKO. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia Bedtime MMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 7:00 He flips from expecting Garcia to get outclassed: after watching tape he thinks Garcia — a long, lanky southpaw with nasty boxing and reach — out-strikes Lopes. The length helps Garcia see takedowns coming and pile up body and straight shots while Lopes hunts one big shot. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 24:06 Gaethje is a brawly striker who gets dropped easily, while Topuria is the sharpest technical boxer in the UFC who specialises in knocking out technical strikers. The matchup is tailor-made for Topuria, who also out-grapples Gaethje if it hits the floor. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 19:46 Pereira has built a career knocking out elite technical strikers, while Gane's best striking win is Volkov and he carries no real grappling or knockout threat. Gane is smooth and hard to hit, but Pereira has the power and resume and the host trusts him to find a way. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 16:57 O'Malley has faced far better strikers and grapplers across his career than Zahabi, a 38-year-old who only barely beat Aldo and Vera. The host sees O'Malley as the most dynamic striker in the division and expects vintage form. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 12:53 Hokit has legit NFL-grade wrestling and Lewis has essentially none, having been out-grappled by much of the division. The host expects an immediate takedown and ground-and-pound, and believes Lewis — a known quitter in high-stakes fights — gives up once on his back. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 11:20 Ruffy is one of the most precise strikers in the division after his KO of Fiziev, while the 40-year-old Chandler is hittable, droppable and coming off poor showings — even Pimblett out-struck him. The host expects Ruffy to counter Chandler's wild swings with a big shot. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 6:38 Nickal is favoured everywhere — underrated striking plus a huge wrestling base — and the host sees him a step ahead wherever it goes. Daukaus is dangerous and well-rounded and holds his own, but the host doesn't think he beats Nickal. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia HopperoMMA · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 3:12 Garcia is a sloppy, very hittable fighter taking a massive step up, while Lopes has gone fifty minutes with Volkanovski and finished Jean Silva. The host thinks Lopes is a step ahead and too sharp, though Lopes tends to go to decision. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 46:20 Tracy thinks people overrate Gaethje's chances: he calls Topuria the most dangerous fighter in UFC history and by far the best in the division, while insisting Gaethje has no real KO power. He predicts a big right hook on the chin, with a takedown threat Topuria won't even need. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 42:13 Tracy calls it genuinely close but picks Pereira: Gane lacks finishing power and plays the points game at range, while Pereira can match him there and is faster than people remember. He sees leg kicks accumulating, Gane slowing, and Pereira landing the left hook to finish. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 30:31 Tracy notes Zahabi is a notorious slow starter coming off a razor-thin fight with Vera, while O'Malley is dangerous early and put on one of the best bantamweight striking performances ever against Vera. He expects O'Malley to walk Zahabi onto a punch early. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 16:40 Tracy argues the 40-something Lewis is old, fragile-chinned and prone to wilting and has only been beating cans, while Hokit is a fast-handed, ferocious, athletic small heavyweight whose avalanche pressure overwhelms opponents. He expects a quick blitz, like the Curtis Blaydes win. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 14:37 Tracy says there's no need to overthink it: Chandler is old, inactive and washed off the worst performance of his career, while the younger, longer, faster Ruffy holds reach, height, speed and defence edges. He expects a jab-then-right-hand viral KO. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 10:27 Tracy sees an early-danger test but expects Nickal to return to his wrestling roots, where he finally holds a sizeable grappling edge — unlike his recent better-grappler opponents. He thinks Nickal ragdolls and submits Daukaus, and notes the striking has visibly improved. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia Lucas Tracy · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 8:03 Tracy admits he's worried Garcia's long, rangy striking could trouble Lopes, but trusts Lopes's proven iron chin, power and more well-rounded grappling. He sees Lopes as the bigger threat in a firefight and able to take Garcia down and bully him. Prediction▶ Topuria vs Gaethje Rashad Evans · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 11:49 Rashad dissents from the panel and picks Gaethje on the magnitude of the moment. Speaking as a former fighter, he says Gaethje is chasing the biggest moment of his life — unification, walking away undisputed — and a fighter driven by that force becomes far more dangerous than the calculated version opponents expect. Prediction▶ Lewis vs Hokit Rashad Evans · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 33:13 Rashad frames the fight as a showcase for Hokit to let his hands go and entertain, and believes he gets the win this weekend — while warning he must respect Derrick Lewis's knockout power. Prediction▶ Ruffy vs Chandler Rashad Evans · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 35:47 Rashad picks Ruffy, saying he has so many tools that even a harder-than-ever Chandler at this stage of his career won't be enough. Prediction▶ Nickal vs Daukaus Rashad Evans · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 38:54 Rashad takes Nickal: although Daukaus's desire for the upset is real, Nickal simply has more tools — better stand-up plus a ground game that speaks for itself — and gets him out of there in the second round. Prediction▶ Lopes vs Garcia Rashad Evans · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 40:35 Rashad expressly declined to call it — 'a horrible fight for me to call.' He breaks down both men (Garcia treating it win-win out of Jackson-Wink, a must-win for Lopes) but never commits to a winner. From the UFC on Paramount+ HQ Spotlight panel. Prediction▶ Pereira vs Gane Chael Sonnen · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 24:05 Sonnen isn't convinced Gane truly wants the prize — that winning an interim belt opens a can of worms (a Pereira rematch, an Aspinall drop-back, a returning Jon Jones) he may not be invested in — and a fighter who doesn't want the prize often doesn't want the victory. He takes Pereira, expecting a long night, possibly a decision. Prediction▶ O'Malley vs Zahabi Danny “Brasco” Vithlani · UFC Freedom 250 · Hear it · 47:06 The betting analyst likes a 'big time' O'Malley knockout: Zahabi at 38 is taking accumulating damage — knocked down in each of his last two fights — and runs into a sharp O'Malley at a bad time. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland The MMA Guru · UFC 328 · Hear it · 50:19 Backs Chimaev despite openly wanting Strickland to win — doesn't trust Strickland's takedown defence to keep him off the mat. Prediction▶ Van vs Taira The MMA Guru · UFC 328 · Hear it · 50:01 Sees Taira's size and grappling slow Van's pace and finish him inside two or three rounds. Prediction▶ Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta The MMA Guru · UFC 328 · Hear it · 34:43 Loves the matchup but sides with the more proven Volkov over Cortes-Acosta. Prediction▶ Brady vs Buckley The MMA Guru · UFC 328 · Hear it · 30:08 Brady's high-level grappling exploits the gaps in Buckley's wrestling and takes over. Prediction▶ Green vs Stephens The MMA Guru · UFC 328 · Hear it · 29:28 Talks himself in a circle — first leans “Bobby Green over Jeremy Stephens by TKO in the second … or nah, decision,” then closes “I’m going to go with Jeremy Stephens.” No clear pick, so we log no call. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland We Want Picks · UFC 328 · Hear it · 43:58 Chimaev's wrestling is just too dominant; sees Strickland losing on control time. Prediction▶ Van vs Taira We Want Picks · UFC 328 · Hear it · 39:37 Van keeps it on the feet and defends the takedowns — and to him that's all that matters. Prediction▶ Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta We Want Picks · UFC 328 · Hear it · 35:09 Backs Cortes-Acosta as the faster, more powerful, higher-motor athlete with a real puncher’s chance. Prediction▶ Brady vs Buckley We Want Picks · UFC 328 · Hear it · 31:42 Buckley is too dangerous on the feet and stuffs takedowns, like he did against Usman. Prediction▶ Green vs Stephens We Want Picks · UFC 328 · Hear it · 28:53 Green is the better striker in a mostly-striking matchup, and can wrestle if he needs to. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland TheWeasle · UFC 328 · Hear it · 31:47 Goes with the heavy favourite — Strickland's upright stance invites the takedowns Chimaev lives on. Prediction▶ Van vs Taira TheWeasle · UFC 328 · Hear it · 27:02 The bigger man and far better grappler; Taira's control finds a fourth-round submission. Prediction▶ Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta TheWeasle · UFC 328 · Hear it · 24:50 Volkov's technique, height and reach keep Waldo at range for a close 29-28 decision. Prediction▶ Brady vs Buckley TheWeasle · UFC 328 · Hear it · 20:41 Brady takes Buckley down and submits him in the second. Prediction▶ Green vs Stephens TheWeasle · UFC 328 · Hear it · 17:57 Green's cleaner boxing counters Stephens' wild shots and finishes him. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland Bedtime MMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 42:06 Chimaev's grappling is too much for Strickland to stop — a round-three submission, in the mould of Khabib–McGregor. Prediction▶ Van vs Taira Bedtime MMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 31:43 Van's forward pressure and boxing take momentum as the championship rounds wear on, for a decision. Prediction▶ Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta Bedtime MMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 28:07 A close one, but Volkov's reach and the style matchup edge a decision. Prediction▶ Brady vs Buckley Bedtime MMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 27:38 Buckley builds his takedown defense round by round and catches Brady late for a third-round TKO. Prediction▶ Green vs Stephens Bedtime MMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 23:00 Green out-boxes Stephens and counter-punches his way to a unanimous decision. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland HopperoMMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 28:43 Chimaev shoots immediately, gets it to the floor and submits Strickland in the first. Prediction▶ Van vs Taira HopperoMMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 26:02 If it hits the ground Van is in trouble; Taira's grappling finds a second-round submission. Prediction▶ Volkov vs Cortes-Acosta HopperoMMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 23:14 The best heavyweight on the planet keeps Acosta at range with kicks for a decision. Prediction▶ Brady vs Buckley HopperoMMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 20:01 Buckley's explosive power and Brady's questionable chin point to a first-round TKO. Prediction▶ Green vs Stephens HopperoMMA · UFC 328 · Hear it · 17:43 Green's defensive boxing outclasses a low-level Stephens and finds a stoppage. Prediction▶ Chimaev vs Strickland Lucas Tracy · UFC 328 · Hear it · 63:21 Chimaev's wrestling controls all five rounds for a 50-45 decision, à la the Du Plessis fight.
