UFC 264 predictions

UFC 264 is right around the corner and we are all super excited, one of the most highly anticipated trilogies in combat sport history and the world will be watching.

Conrad vs Diamond three, no stalling, straight into the predicitons:

Poirier vs. McGregor III

Dustin Poirier, TKO, R4

Slightly lean Dustin here, end of analysis.

Burns vs. Thompson

Stephen Thompson, DEC

Wonderboy decision seems to be a lock here imo, obviously hes the better striker and I feel like hes defensively sound enough to avoid Gilberts power for the full 15 minutes. If Gilbert is able to land big on him early like he did against Tyron, Kamaru, and Demian then he could do some significant damage but I feel like Wonderboy has the durability to gut it out. If it goes to the ground then Gilbert will maul him, but I'm not confident in his ability to take wonderboy down and keep him there for prolongued periods in the fight,

Tuivasa vs. Hardy

Greg Hardy, DEC

Meme HW fight, don't really care much tbh. Tai has looked marginally better since moving to AKA but still sucks, whereas Greg (lol, Greg) is just really bad. Despite this I'm gonna take Hardy by decision because I have no faith in Tai to do anything.

Aldana vs. Kunitskaya

Yana Kunitskaya, DEC

Was kinda high on Aldana after the Vieira fight but she looked awful against Holm and the intrigue kinda died in my eyes. I still think shes a competent striker however, but she has a loss to Kaitlyn Chookagian, and for this reason I am going to pick Yana to win. Also womens fight, so decision.

O'Malley vs. Moutinho

Sean O'Malley, TKO, R1

I don't know much about Kris and hes probably a really nice person, but due to the way UFC books fights I am inclined to believe he is a terrible fighter and probably disabled physically. Sean round 1 KO, although an upset would be hilarious.

Griffin vs. Condit

Carlos Condit, DEC

Ever since the injury in 2019 Condit seems to be not as washed somehow, beating Matt Brown and a dude named Court, but them 2 guys have a combined age of 76, so its not as impressive as it originally seemed. On the other hand Max Griffin sucks and got knocked out by Colby Covington, which I didn't know was possible, so I think Condits gonna squeak a W in a split decision or some other bs.

Price vs. Pereira

Michel Pereira, TKO, R2

Fun fight, fully expect Michel to style on him but hes also very inconsistent so I am not confident. Niko is also the king of winning from positions where he shouldn't win, which makes him hard to predict again. But I'm going to go with my gut and go with Michel to take this one, gonna take a 2nd round ko as well, just because.

Du Plessis vs. Giles

Trevin Giles, TKO, R3

Not dead sure why Dricus is the favourite amongst the fans, much less proven at this level and lost like 2 fights ago in KSW. Taking Trevin by 3rd round KO in this one.

Hall vs. Topuria

Ilia Topuria, TKO, R1

F's in chat for Ryan. Honestly don't expect him to have any significant offense, what so ever. Ilia is a much better striker, has the defensive grappling to avoid what Ryan is known for, has a much better physique, and his name is also a lot cooler than Ryan. Gonna take Ilia via 2nd round KO, think a submission is a possibility if Ryan is hurt, but would rather Ilia just doesn't even attempt that stuff tbh.

Maia vs. Eye

Jennifer Maia, DEC

Bad fight, hopefully Eye loses then gets cut.

Akhmedov vs. Tavares

Brad Tavares, DEC

Tavares pretty good when hes not facing really good guys, expect him to beat Omari pretty handily, expect a 30-27 on all 3 scorecards.

Zhumagulov vs. Rivera

Zhalgas Zhumagulov, TKO, R1

Zhalgas goat tbh, first round KO.

Amedovski vs. Hu

Yaozong Hu, TKO, R1

China man vs North Macedonia man, don't care, gonna take Macedonia man because his name is actually sounds like a real name, unlike Hu.
