Main Card
Pay-per-view, 10 p.m. ET
KAMARU USMAN
VS.
COLBY COVINGTON
– for welterweight tile
Max Holloway vs. Alexander Volkanovski
– for featherweight title
Amanda Nunes vs. Germaine de Randamie
– for women's bantamweight title
Jose Aldo vs. Marlon Moraes
Some really interesting bouts here. 3 titles on the line in the UFC's end of the year finale.
Picking the favourites Usman, Holloway and Nunes.
Although I secretly would like to see Covington pull this one out. If anything just to see how pissed off Dana is going to be afterwards. Colby has said he won't even let Dana put the belt around his waist if he wins,lol. Gotta hand it to him he's done the whole heel turn to perfection but just think Usman is the worst style match up for him. Colby throws more volume but Usman has more power. Both are excellent wrestlers but Usman is the bigger stronger man. The X factor is Colby's unlimited gas tank. Can he put a pace on Usman that he can't handle? That's his path to victory. This should be fun.
De Randamie has the power on her feet to light up and stop Amanda but I have the feeling Amanda is going to get this one on the ground or against the fence as early as possible where she is superior. Like the first fight I will be cheering for the underdog but just can't see it unfolding that way.
Max Holloway is one of my favourite fighters and I believe he will pick Volkanovski apart at range. Volcanovski is a buzz-saw but he's the much shorter man here. Holloway is almost impossible to get down and hold down so Volcanovski will have to beat him standing and I can't see it happening.
