Israel Adesanya vs. Robert Whittaker II

This is the rematch UFC fans have wanted for quite some time. In a promotion where immediate championship runbacks happen with regularity, Whittaker was the rare exception to the rule. Despite being a pound-for-pound ranked talent, the Aussie needed to work his way back to a title opportunity. He did that and then some, and now gets a second chance at the big boss of the middleweight division in Adesanya. Their first bout only went two rounds. Here’s hoping “Reaper” has made the adjustments to make this a fight that lives up to the stellar talent involved.

Prediction: Adesanya by unanimous decision

Alexander Hernandez vs. Renato Moicano

Alexander Hernandez has long been viewed as an entertaining fighter in the UFC’s lightweight division. However, consistency winning has been a problem as he’s alternated wins and losses over his last seven fights. In Renato Moicano he gets the chance two win back-to-back bouts for the first time in three years, and earn the biggest W of his nine-year career. Plus, the fight has bonus winning potential written all over it.

Prediction: Moicano by submission, round 2
