Picture
Tonight we see a double title headliner with the women’s flyweight title and the Featherweight title both on the line. Not only that but the All Things Combat MMA Predictions Championship is on the line as Cameron who has had the belt since 227 will defend it against Josh who hasn’t had the belt since 227. This is a rivalry which keeps brewing and tonight they settle it out over predictions.

Jimi Manuwa Vs. Thiago Santos (Light Heavyweight)

Cameron: I’m going to go with Jimi Manuwa as he will outpower Thiago Santos and he’s got better technique. I’m going with Manuwa round 2 - knockout.

Prediction: Jimi Manuwa (Round 2; TKO)


Josh: This is a really hard fight to predict, it literally could go either way. Manuwa is probably going to fight on the England card in a few months time but he’s also on a losing streak whereas Santos has won his last 2 fights. I’m going to say Santos by decision as I want my title back and this is logical thinking.


Prediction: Thiago Santos (Unanimous Decision)

Hakeem Dawodu Vs. Kyle Bochniak (Featherweight)

Josh: This is an extremely hard fight to predict, they both can win. However, I think Hakeem Dawodu will win as he is a genuine beat fighter who done fantastic back in the WSOF. I think Dawodu will win but I see this one going the distance.

Prediction: Hakeem Dawodu (Unanimous Decision)

Cameron: I see Kyle Bochniak winning this fight.

Prediction: Kyle Bochniak (Round 2; Submission)

Alex Oliveria Vs. Gunnar Nelson (Welterweight)

Cameron: Last time we saw Gunnar Nelson in the octagon was UFC fight night in Glasgow and he lost to Santiago Ponzinibbio. I have to say Gunnar Nelson with a late KO.

Prediction: Gunnar Nelson (Round 3; TKO)

Josh: Last time we saw Nelson fight, he lost. I also see him losing this one. Oliveria will defeat Nelson via knockout in an early round.

Prediction: Alex Oliveria (Round 1; TKO)

Joanna Jędrzejczyk Vs. Valentina Shevchenko (UFC Women’s Flyweight Championship)

Josh: This is going to be an amazing fight! This could go either way but Shevchenko is more adapted to the flyweight weight class than Joanna is and Shevchenko is going to absolutely ruin the weight class and run through them all so I’m guessing her.

Prediction: Valentina Shevchenko (Round 4; Submission)

Cameron: What’s there to say about Joanna? Joanna will be too fast for Valentina, Joanna’s fighting style is more authentic than Valentina’s. This should be a groundbreaking fight.

Prediction: Joanna Jędrzejczyk (Unanimous Decision)

Max Holloway Vs. Brian Ortega (UFC Featherweight Championship)

Cameron: Brian Ortega will be hard to beat, he’s a Submission Machine and gives the featherweights nightmares! Last week I saw Zabit Magomedsharpidov run away from a picture of Ortega. Holloway is good but Ortega’s style is so much more ninja-like than Holloway’s.

Prediction: Brian Ortega (Round 2; Submission)

Josh: This. Is. So. Hard. To. Predict. All week, I’ve been saying Brian Ortega will win the strap but as we approach this fight, he’ll fold under pressure. Everybody I’ve said who will win the title don’t win the title; Darren Till, Francis Ngannou. It’s a curse and despite Ortega being as good as he is and he is amazing - I think Max Holloway is going to extend his winning streak.

Prediction: Max Holloway (Round 3; TKO)
