UFC 241 Predictions
The three last fights on the UFC 241 cards are fantastic! They could easily be fight of the year, Romero Vs. Costa is going to be crazy, Diaz and Pettis will be a WAR, Cormier and Stipe is just as unpredictable as it is brilliant. There’s only one thing that can make this card better and that is predictions.
Derek Brunson Vs. Ian Heinisch
Josh: This should be a fun opening fight, Derek Brunson has had a decent MMA career but has never made that jump to title contention and I don’t think he ever will. Do I think he’ll win here? Sure but I think it’ll be a decision win for him.
Prediction: Derek Brunson (Decision)
Jack: I’m going with an Ian Heinisch, he’s only suffered one loss in his career so far so I feel like he’ll continue to move up the rankings.

Gabriel Benitez Vs. Sodiq Yusuff
Jack: It’s a battle of the prospects, I’m going with my same reasoning behind Hensich but a more dominant display from Yusuff. I think Yusuff will win in the second round via knockout.
Prediction: Sodiq Yusuff (Round 2; TKO)
Josh: I’m a fan of Gabriel Benitez who’s been in the UFC for almost 5 years and I think he’ll win here. The way he wins is a second round submission in my books and I’m quite confident with that. This should be a fantastic fight and I that this is a great match up for both men.

Yoel Romero Vs. Paulo Costa
Josh: This fight isn’t getting anywhere near the promotion it should be by the UFC - maybe they don’t believe it’ll happen. If that’s the case then Khabib and Ferguson won’t even be getting a poster if they do eventually fight. This is a thrilling fight, you’ve got Yoel Romero - a man who can do damage at light heavyweight competing at middleweight against an undefeated Paulo Costa. This is a fantastic fight and I’m saying that this is finished in the first by a fantastic KO by Romero. I see him surprising a lot of people about how fast he knocks out Costa and I definitely seeing this one lasting a few minutes.
Prediction: Yoel Romero (Round 1; TKO)
Jack: I only see this fight going one way and that’s for the Cuban Soldier. I do believe thy the soldier of god will win here and win by a vicious knockout in the second round.
Prediction: Yoel Romero (Round 2; TKO)

Prediction: Yoel Romero (Round 2; TKO)
Anthony Pettis Vs. Nate Diaz
Jack: This is going to be a war. Diaz has the cardio to go 5 rounds and while this is only 3, I think it’ll go the distance and a fight that Diaz wins on points.
Prediction: Nate Diaz (Decision)
Josh: Oh my Jesus, what a fight this is. Pettis - a natural welterweight who has all the power in the world against Nate Diaz, a great fight all around. This is going to be a war, these two have battled a combined total of 60 fights in their careers and I think Diaz will win this one. I think it’ll go to the third round where Diaz submits Pettis. God, I wish this was 5 rounds.
Prediction: Nate Diaz (Round 3; Submission)
Prediction: Nate Diaz (Decision)

God, I wish this was 5 rounds.
Prediction: Nate Diaz (Round 3; Submission)
Daniel Cormier (C) Vs. Stipe Miocic (UFC Heavyweight Championship)
Josh: I’m so nervous for this fight. I am a huge fan of Daniel Cormier and I just really hope he wins this which I do think he will. I also see this going the way, the first fight did with Cormier knocking Miocic out in the first round. I think Miocic will get too emotional much like Cody Garbrandt when he was trying to reclaim his title and I think Cormier will get the better of him much like the first.
Prediction: Daniel Cormier (Round 1; TKO)
Jack: This will be a close fight that goes all 5 round I think. I think Cormier wins this but it’ll definitely be a close fight.
Prediction: Daniel Cormier (Decision)
Prediction: Daniel Cormier (Round 1; TKO)
Jack: This will be a close fight that goes all 5 round I think. I think Cormier wins this but it’ll definitely be a close fight.
Prediction: Daniel Cormier (Decision)
