Although I wish I hadn't, I did waste 15 minutes of my life watching a few of Lilliya's bouts and I have concluded that she probably learned to fight by robbing eggs from clucky geese in an unsewered Eastern European slum, and won about 50% of time. She's not winning anything apart from a least-feminine haircut contest and this bout is such a mismatch it's the modern equivalent of bear baiting. This will probably be the most one-sided bout since the last Roman slave was fed to a lion circa 400 AD. Murphy KO/TKO.
Liana Jojua vs. Miranda Maverick
You can basically all go **** yourselves; Jojua is FAF. She isn't good, but I ask you this: Do you really care? Because I don't. I applaud the UFC for signing a woman who doesn't piss standing up.

Khabib Nurmagomedov, DEC
Originally I picked Gaethjy by R2 KO, but the more I think about it the more I realise that's just wishful thinking. Realistically, Khabib has this without much struggle. I do believe that Gaethje is his toughest competition yet, hence why I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt and saying he makes it to the scorecards.
Whittaker vs. Cannonier
Robert Whittaker, DEC
I'm about 75% confident in this one. Cannonier has looked phenomenal at middleweight, but let's look at who he's beaten: David Branch, Anderson Silva and Jack Hermansson. Cannonier has been able to win by never letting his opponent pin him down and then beating them on the feet with his timing and KO power, but he clearly hasn't faced a striker like Whittaker at middleweight yet. Silva doesn't count because he's way past his prime, Hermansson is a grappler and Branch has a substandard record in the UFC altogether. Enter Whittaker, who is arguably the second best middleweight striker around. He's going to pick Cannonier apart. I'd give only a 25% chance of a Cannonier KO.
Volkov vs. Harris
Alexander Volkov, TKO, R2
Hm. I'm leaning 60/40 Volkov on this one, but it's close. Harris has the KO power, Volkov has the technical prowess, so the tiebreaker for me is Volkov's height + experience. Volkov has competed against (and beat!) Some of the best heavyweights around. The same can't be said about Harris
