LEON EDWARDS vs BELAL MUHAMMAD 2
Welterweight Title Fight – Main Event:
Leon Edwards is a fighter from England who has great stamina, and he is known for his effective striking. He has had an extremely successful UFC career so far and he has fought 17 times, winning 14, losing 2 and with 1 fight declared a no contest in his last bought against Muhammad. Notably he has not lost a fight since 2016 and he currently sits on a 12 fight win streak.
His most recent fight was against Colby Covington at UFC 296 where he was able to defend his belt and win the fight by decision.
Belal Muhammad, fighting out of Palestine is a well-balanced fighter who has ample experience within the sport. He entered the UFC in 2016 and he has fought 18 times since then, winning 14 and losing 3 fights with the only no contest being to Edwards. Although he has never held the division title, he currently sits on a 9 fight win streak and he will be hungry for a win.
His most recent fight took place in May last year where he took on Gilbert Burns and won the fight by decision when the 5 rounds had concluded.

PREDICTION:

TOM ASPINALL vs CURTIS BLAYDES 2
Heavyweight Title Fight – Co-Main Event:
Tom Aspinall is an English fighter who is known for his brutal knock out power and his grappling skills, he has had a good career so far and he has beaten a few well known fighters in the division to claim the belt. He has fought 8 times in the UFC of which he has won 7 fights with 6 of these not reaching the 2nd round.
His only loss has been in the first fight against Blaydes, where Aspinall got dropped in the first 15 seconds of the fight, however his last fight was against Sergei Pavlovich where he won by TKO/KO in round 1 and became the current title holder.
Curtis Blaydes is an American fighter who has been fighting in the UFC for over 8 years, he has fought 19 times, winning 14, losing 4 and 1 fight ended in a no contest. He has been on good form in the last few years, winning 8 of his 10 most recent fights.
His last fight was against Jailton Almeida in March this year where he won by TKO in early round 2 of the fight, and I believe Blaydes will still hold some confidence with him from the first time he met Aspinall in the octagon.

Aspinall – 1.25
Blaydes – 3.75
PREDICTION:
I believe Aspinall has come a long way since the last time they met and he will win the fight in round 2 by TKO.
