UFC 244 Predictions

It’s the annual Madison Square Garden card for the UFC and it’s STACKED. It’s a fantastic card from the fight pass prelims all the way to the main card.

Kevin Lee Vs. Gregor Gillespie

I really want Kevin Lee to win but I just can’t see it happening so I think I do have to predict Gregor Gillespie. Gillespie is 13-0 and I can see him getting a decision win over Kevin Lee added to his record.

Prediction: Gregor Gillespie (Decision)

Derrick Lewis Vs. Blagoy Ivanov

Derick Lewis may just be one of the UFC’s national treasures. Ivanov is good but I think Lewis will be too good for Ivanov in this fight and get a second round KO.

Prediction: Derick Lewis (2; TKO)

Stephen Thompson Vs. Vincent Luque

It’s been a while since we’ve seen a brilliant Stephen Thompson knockout and I think we’re going to see one again on the 500th event. I think the knockout could be in the first round but that’s not me doubting Luque, I’m just going with how good Thompson is.

Prediction: Stephen Thompson (1; TKO)

Kelvin Gastelum Vs. Darren Till

I really hope Darren Till wins this but Gastelum is very powerful and could actually knock out Till. However, I think Till will win this with a first round knockout but it may be a Gastelum victory.

Prediction: Darren Till (1; TKO)

Jorge Masvidal Vs. Nate Diaz

Oh my, what a fight. This is such a fantastic fight but it literally could go either way. I’m saying that Diaz wins with a submission victory. If it was a three round fight, then I’d say it would be a decision victory but I’m saying Diaz wins with a 4th round or 5th round submission.

Prediction: Nate Diaz (4; Sub)
