\n

Stipe Miocic (-115) vs. Daniel Cormier\u00a0 (-115)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heavyweight<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miocic and Cormier should be very familiar of each other by now. They have faced twice before, with Cormier scoring a first-round knockout in the initial encounter and Miocic reclaiming his heavyweight belt in the rematch via his own version of a KO win. Miocic hasn\u2019t fought since that fight in August of last year and the same is true for Cormier.\u00a0 Miocic should once again look to capitalize on his height and reach advantages over Cormier. However, Cormier had shown in his win over Miocic that he can weave his way inside Miocic\u2019s range and deal damage from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s prediction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Miocic wins via KO. View full breakdown of Stipe Miocic vs Daniel Cormier<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Sean O\u2019Malley (-290) vs. Marlon Vera (+215)\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bantamweight<\/strong><\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley\u2019s (12-0-0) stock continues to soar, as he remains undefeated following his June KO win over Eddie Wineland at UFC 250. Of O\u2019Malley\u2019s 12 victories, eight were via knockouts. Expect \u2018Sugar\u2019\u00a0 to use his slight reach advantage 0f 1.5 inches against Vera, who\u2019s never been knocked out nor submitted before. Vera (15-6-1) has five KO wins and eight submission victories. He had a five-fight unbeaten skid snapped last May in a unanimous decision loss to Song Yadong.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s prediction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

O\u2019Malley wins via KO.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Junior dos Santos (+115) vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik (-145)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Heavyweight\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dos Santos\u2019s best days are behind him, as evidenced by his last two fights, during which he got knocked out by Francis Nganoou and Curtis Blaydes. However, the former heavyweight king can\u2019t just be ruled out in any fight because of his power. Dos Santos (21-7-0) has 15 wins via KO. Rozenstruik (10-1-0)is also coming off a KO loss at the hands of Ngannou last May. Prior to that, though, he\u2019s won 10 fights in a row, with only one not resulting in a KO.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s prediction:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Rozenstruik wins via KO.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

John Dodson (-150) vs. Merab Dvalishvili (-180)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Bantamweight\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dodson, the former The Ultimate Fighter champion, prevented a three-fight losing skid last February with a KO win over Nathaniel Wood. Dodson (22-11-0) has never lost a fight outside of a decision, and he\u2019s got 11 wins via KO and two submission victories. Dvalishvili\u00a0 (11-4-0) is on a roll, having won each of his last four fights, all via unanimous decisions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s prediction<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Dodson wins via split decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Magomed Ankalaev (-300) vs. Ion Cu\u021belaba (+220)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Light Heavyweight\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

There was much controversy when Ankalaev and Cutelaba met for the first time a few months back, with the former earning a first-round win via stoppage. This time around, the two will engage again in a fight that everybody hopes would have a more decisive outcome. Ankaev (13-1-0) has won all his past four fights. Cutelaba (15-5-0), on the other hand, is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

3-2 in his last five fights. Both fighters have a combined total of 20 KO wins.<\/span><\/p>\n

Writer\u2019s prediction<\/strong>:<\/span><\/p>\n

Cutelaba wins via KO.<\/span><\/p>\n
