UFC 229 Predictions
The biggest fight in UFC history. Supposedly, trending at Mayweather/McGregor Numbers but let’s face it, it’s not. I’m not saying it’s not going to break the UFC PPV Record, it’ll absolutely shatter it but it’s not getting 4 Million Buys. 2 Million? 100% 3 Million? Possibly. 4 Million? Nope. It’s not I don’t want it to break 4 million buys, the bigger, the better. Cameron - who’s in Spain, defends his title against Josh and former All Things Combat Wrestling Champion, Jack.
Michelle Waterson Vs. Felice Herrig (Women’s Strawweight)
Cameron: I’m looking forward to this fight and I think it will be a good match up. The Women’s Strawweight Division is in a strange place and I think Waterson has this fight in the bag!
Prediction: Michelle Waterson (Round 2; TKO)
Josh: This should be a good opening bout. I like the match up of these two and as Cameron said, the strawweight division is in a weird place, we don’t know who Namajunas is set to defend the title against but whoever wins, they could be in line. I think this fight will go the distance and I see Waterson picking up the W.
Prediction: Michelle Waterson (Decision)
Jack: This is a good card and it starts with Michelle Waterson Vs. Felice Herrig. I’m not overly familiar with either of these two but from I know, I’m going with Felice Herrig in the second round.

Derrick Lewis Vs. Alexander Volkov (Heavyweight)
Josh: Derrick Lewis. The first thing I think of is Francis Ngannou and that fight. Disgusting things. Anyway, he’s fighting 29 year old, Alexander Volkov. A lot of people think Volkov will win but I’m going with Derick Lewis.

Ovince Saint Preux Vs. Dominick Reyes (Light Heavyweight)
Jack: I think this is the only fight on the main card which will go the distance and I’m not really looking forward to this fight but it should still be decent. I’m going with Reyes and I think he’ll do really good in the division.
Prediction: Dominick Reyes (Decision)
Cameron: I think this will end in the first round and Saint Preux will win this.
Prediction: Saint Preux (Round 1; TKO)

Prediction: Dominick Reyes (Round 1; TKO)
Tony Ferguson Vs. Anthony Pettis (Lightweight)
Cameron: This is Ferguson’s first fight since being stripped of the interim championship and I see this being a relatively easy win for Ferguson. I’m not overlooking Pettis as he did get a big win on the 226 main card in July but I do see Ferguson winning in the second round by submission.
Prediction: Tony Ferguson (Round 2; Submission)
Josh: I like Tony Ferguson. I think Ferguson will win this. I think he’ll make Pettis tap out in the third round.
Prediction: Tony Ferguson (Round 3; Submission)

Khabib Nurmamegedov (C) Vs. Conor McGregor (UFC Lightweight Championship)
Josh: The biggest fight in the UFC history. I keep changing about this but I’m finally stuck to Khabib winning by submission. When? I don’t know. I think it’ll be round 2 but I wouldn’t be surprised if it goes into the later rounds but ALSO I wouldn’t be surprised if Conor gets an early knockout.
Prediction: Khabib (Round 2; Submission)
Jack: I keep changing my mind about this but I think Conor McGregor will knock out Khabib. It’s too late to change.
Prediction: Conor McGregor (Round 2; TKO)
Cameron: Will Conor win? Will Khabib win? I don’t know. I’m going with Khabib but I want Conor to win. I Khabib will win but I want Conor as he is more entertaining and will bring more relevance to the UFC and is a more entertaining character than Khabib.
Prediction: Khabib (Round 4; Submission)
