ISRAEL ADESANYA vs NASSOURDINE IMAVOV
Middleweight Main Event:
Israel Adesanya is a fighter born in Nigeria and he currently resides in New Zealand. He has fought amongst the top of the division for basically his entire UFC career and of his 17 total fights, 12 of these have been title fights of which he has won 8 and lost 4.
He has struggled to maintain winning form in his last few fights, losing 3 and winning just 1, however he was matched against some solid opposition. The last time he fought was in August last year at UFC 305 where he encountered current champion Dricus Du Plessis and lost by 4th round submission.
Nassourdine Imavov is a French fighter known for his stamina and brutal striking. He made his UFC debut in 2020 and since then he has fought 10 times, winning 7 and losing 2, with 1 bout ending in a no contest.
He has been impressive across his last 3 fights, winning all of them, with 2 wins by decision and 1 by TKO. The last time he stepped in the octagon was in September where he overcame Brendan Allen by decision.

Adesanya 1.60
Imavov 2.30
PREDICTION:
I think Adesanya will prove too good to be caught by the striking of Imavov and this will result in a decision win for the favourite.
SHARAPUTDIN MAGOMEDOV vs MICHAEL PAGE
Middleweight Co-Main Event:
Shara Magomedov, fighting out of Russia is an entertaining fighter known for his striking and overall athletic ability. He has fought within the institution since late 2023 and he currently has 4 fights under his belt.
He is yet to be defeated in the UFC and he has won 2 fights by TKO/KO and the remaining 2 by decision. His most recent encounter took place in October when he faced off against Armen Petrosyan at UFC 308 and beat him with a round 2 spinning back fist KO.
Michael “Venom” Page is a fighter from England who recently entered the UFC, he is a well-known striker and grappler and prior to his UFC debut he fought under the Bellator organisation where he was extremely successful.
He has fought twice in the UFC so far, winning his first fight against Kevin Holland by decision, however, his most recent bout did not go his way and he was defeated by Ian Garry in June last year by unanimous decision.

Magomedov 1.50

SERGEI PAVLOVICH vs JAIRZINHO ROZENSTRUIK
Heavyweight Fight:
Sergei Pavlovich is a Russian powerhouse who can deal a deadly punch. He has fought 9 times in the heavyweight division, dropping some talented opponents along the way and winning 6 of his 9 fights.
Unfortunately, he has had some tough match ups in his last two fights, losing the first to Tom Aspinall by round 1 KO and his most recent bout in June saw him lose to the giant Alexander Volkov by decision.
Jairzinho Rozenstruik is a fighter born in Suriname who is known for his lethal striking. He has fought 14 times within the UFC, winning 9 and losing 5 times.
He has been on reasonable form as of late, winning 3 of his last 4 fights with his most recent bout against Tai Tuivasa ending in a decision win last August.

Pavlovich 1.30
