Ciryl Gane, TKO, R4
I want to say Gane by decision but this is just a weird fight. 2 guys with 2 VERY different fight styles. I think Gane will be the interim champ when it’s all said and done but it only takes one punch from Derrick Lewis to end it as well. But I’m sticking with Gane. I can see this fight being similar to the Volkov fight. Lots of stand up action

Derrick Lewis, TKO, R2
I have watched the majority of Gane's fights and he is just not that exciting. I am pulling for the Black Beast.

at least he said his balls were hot casuals loved to repeat that joke over and over maybe he'll say his balls were hot again that would be more entertaining than most of his fights

Derrick Lewis, TKO, R4
I don't really see the point in this fight. Anyways I think Lewis will lose all rounds until he finds the KO shot. I don't think Gane is ready to be champion yet, he has much to improve. But maybe I get proven wrong, who knows it's ******* HW

Derrick Lewis, TKO, R2
Carbon copy of the Blaydes fight imo. Gane controls the first round with striking and grappling and then Lewis bombs him.

Ngannou isn't being stripped, they are just creating an interim champ to be his 'mandatory' next opponent.

Ciryl Gane, TKO, R4
It's a shame this fight is for the interim belt, but I won't complain about the matchup : This is absolutely a great fight, fascinating clash of styles : fight IQ vs wildness, technical stand up vs power... Gane's chin will finally be tested, but if he can absorb a few shots, he has the tools to hurt Lewis on the feet OR on the ground. Gane vs Ngannou for the belt in Paris would be huge for France !
Nunes vs. Peña
Amanda Nunes, TKO, R4
They need to book the Shevshenko trilogy as soon as possible.
Aldo vs. Munhoz
Pedro Munhoz, DEC
Very hard fight to pick. Munhoz is still improving, as his great performance against Rivera proved, but Aldo isn't regressing much despite his age and all the wars he's been in... Crazy to think they're the same age, considering Aldo's accomplishments. But I feel Munhoz has the heart to hang with the legend here, and it will likely be a very close back and forth war. What a great fight.
Song vs. Kenney
Yadong Song, DEC
This is a super fun fight between two of the most exciting bantamweights !
Luque vs. Chiesa
Vicente Luque, DEC
This should be very interesting, Chiesa 's standup has improved greatly recently, but Luque is the more dangerous fighter overall, and very durable as well.
Herman vs. Menifield
Alonzo Menifield, TKO, R1
Herman is getting old, but he obviously has a chance here, if he can survive the first dangerous round...
Kowalkiewicz vs. Penne
Karolina Kowalkiewicz, DEC
Wow, I'm a BIG fan of Kowalkiewicz, but she looked shot since the Andrade fight, 3 years ago... I thought she retired after her 4 losses in a row, and I don't know how I feel to see her back against the very tough Penne after more than 1 year away... Rooting for her anyway.
Kape vs. Osbourne
Manel Kape, DEC
Kape has the most impressive 0-2 reccord in the UFC... Osbourne is a dangerous fighter, and he might give him a hard fight, but I think Kape will shine here.

Kape vs. Osbourne
Ode Osbourne, TKO, R1
Size matters also Kape drops the ball too much, hes the opposite of a clutch player.
