Allen vs. Chikadze
Arnold Allen, DEC
I think Allen is more well-rounded and also powerful than Giga. He has the chin and boxing. If he could handle Gigas kicks with Wrestling and Clinching, I think he could edge this out.

Early thoughts

Predictions: 12 of 14 Pending   |   Tied for 1st with 561 others

The main event should be Aspinall v Gane most likely, although Blaydes is the harder fight. I have Tom by submission v Gane, although not as quick as Gane's Jones fight. Gane must have realized that he has to learn at least some sub and takedown defence by now. 

I respect Leon and his story but wish he'd actually start fighting instead of points scoring. He'd gain loads more fans If he just took some risks at least. He's not exciting to watch and especially if he's fighting Belal this could genuinely well put the audience to sleep.

I have Arnold Allen over Giga by decision most likely if not late ko. Arnold is defensively sound and Gigi got pieced up by Katter who Allen was having fun against until Katter blew his knee out.

The start time as it stands is ridiculous.. agreed.

Mokaev vs. Kape
Muhammad Mokaev, SUB, R3
i see a round 3 sub for mokaev after a tough fight for both parties in the second, with mokaev landing takedowns and some decent shots and kape doing better on the feet. overall, this fight is super even. tough one to predict.

I have a feeling the start time for this event needs to be updated. Just going off memory, most UK cards start 1pm EST. I can't imagine somebody like Tom Aspinall being asked to fight at like 4am in front of his come crowd. That's insane.

if Jones is recovering faster than expected, I think he can make this card. the UFC could make this a legendary card for the UK fans if they somehow managed to put Jones vs Aspinall as the main event to unify the HW title, and then Edwards vs Belal as the co-main for the WW belt. or they could do like Jones vs Stipe, and then the winner does that weird cheesy staredown with Aspinall in the middle of the octagon with the UK fans going bananas or something like that.

But if they don't end up putting Edwards vs Belal on this card then I have absolutely no idea what they're planning, like maybe Belal vs Shavkhat for interim belt? I haven't heard of Leon being injured so idk why he's sitting out for so long.

Belal and Leon will almost certainly be the headliner. If not, it will likely be a Aspinall vs. Blaydes rematch for the interim title. Hopefully we get both. 

There is 0% chance Jon Jones fights in the UK. You'll never see that guy fight anywhere that isn't MSG or Vegas for the rest of his career.
