2021 is the year of superfights:
Adesanya vs Jon Jones (late 2021)
GSP vs Khabib (summer 2021) (Khabib's actual last fight ever)
Another random thought: I don't think Daniel Cormier is fully retired yet either I think we'll get to see him in a true final fight against Brock Lesnar if Brock signs a one off fight deal with the UFC. I think the UFC brass loves DC and wants to reward him with the money fight he always wanted. I hope so.

Prediction Comments
Predictions: 6 of 10 Winners, 4 Perfect, 450 Points | Tied for 708th
Thiago Santos, TKO, R1
Texeira has been on an excellent late-career resurgence but it ends here. Santos has fought and blasted far quicker fighters, Glover is going to appear to move in slow motion by comparison. I'm going with Santos in round 1 for now but might move to round 2 or 3 later in the week if Texeira is looking good at weigh ins etc.
Arlovski vs. Boser
Tanner Boser, TKO, R1
Tanner Boser is sneakily one of the best heavyweights in the entire division, he should be ranked #5 or 6 in my opinion. He's recently been really putting it together adding some power behind his punches but not at the expense of speed or volume. He has 100% takedown defense and has only been KO'd once, in 2015. Arlovski might have taken him if he was in his prime but he doesn't have a chance here.
Barcelos vs. Taha
Raoni Barcelos, DEC
Taha is outmatched in every single facet of this fight, I honestly can't see a path to victory for him here. The saving grace is Barcelos is taking this fight on 10 days notice but I imagine someone like him is always near fight ready.
Heinisch vs. Allen
Brendan Allen, SUB, R2
This is a banger of a fight, close match but I think Allen will take it with a skill edge and a big size advantage. I'll get the early odds before Allen balloons to near -200
Gadelha vs. Yan
Xiaonan Yan, DEC
Gadelha is by far the most potent submission threat Yan has ever faced. Too bad she won't be able to hold Yan still or get her to the ground.
Chikadze vs. Simmons
Giga Chikadze, TKO, R1
Is this a ******* joke? Simmons is barely ready to fight in LFA, let alone the UFC, let ALONE against a monster like Giga.
Giles vs. Lewis
Bevon Lewis, TKO, R3
Oh man, you guys are ******* up on this one. I can't wait to see Giles lose his 4th fight in a row. Lewis has 100% TDD and Giles gases in every fight even when the takedowns are landing. Lewis is going to keep him at bay and pick him apart with his 5" reach advantage and eventually break him down.
Rogério de Lima vs. Romanov
Alexander Romanov, SUB, R1
De Lima's black belt is only going to be good for helping him know when to tap. For his sake I hope Romanov submits him, because he will smash him otherwise King Kong style.
Elkins vs. Garagorri
Darren Elkins, DEC
Elkins always has every disadvantage on paper, and it's why I always root for him. I love this bleeding mess of a wild man and it's weird seeing him listed as a favorite. My head says he's taken too much damage and will wilt and be finished in this fight, but my heart says his grit carries him to the score cards and he pulls it off.
Griffin vs. Brahimaj
Ramiz Brahimaj, SUB, R2
Griffin won't tap in time and is going allll the way out.

@Fisty, read my breakdown man, Lewis has 100% takedown defense because no one has tried to take him down in the UFC. The only person to try was in his DWCS and that was barely a takedown it was a, "My god please don't knee my face again." So he is 1-0 against takedowns IF you include DWCS. He's also 0-10 for accomplishing takedowns which is a much more significant story IMO.

@tieoken you’re right, that was overly aggressive. I think I read a condescending tone in your comment that wasn’t actually there, and responded in kind. I apologize, it was out of line. I do think Lewis is too strong and veteran savvy to go to the ground with Giles, and he wins handily on the feet

And Ian Heinish at +100 is a good line in my oppion, He's has better standup and he really good at not getting out grapple by better grappler like Shoeface and Mutanch, I think he gonna out box Brandon Allen to a close fight of the night decsion

@Damien, I think Yan is a really solid line. But, y'know, it's WMMA.
