Israel Adesanya vs Robert Whittaker II

Adesanya vs Whittaker 2 will be a rematch of two of the greatest middleweight fights in UFC and MMA history. Although neither has eclipsed the legendary achievements of Anderson Silva just yet, the “Spider” never had a rival in the division as gifted as these two. In working his way back up to regain his title, “Reaper” has proven he is the undisputed top-contender in the division. In being unbeaten in 21 fights as a 185-pounder “The Last Stylebender” has confirmed no middleweight in the world is better. This will be a battle of men that will go down as middleweight legends. This fight is a must-watch affair.

Prediction: Adesanya by unanimous decision

Jared Cannonier vs Derek Brunson

While Adesanya and Whittaker fight to see who is the best middleweight of his generation, Cannonier and Brunson will decide who the winner is likely to get in their next defense as champion. While both “The Killa Gorilla” and Brunson are bordering on being MMA greybeards, both are aging to elite status like fine wine. Just like Whittaker worked to become the undisputed top contender, the victor of this clash will decide the NEXT undisputed challenger to the middleweight throne.

Prediction: Brunson by unanimous decision
