@eaLiTy. Jeremy Stephens might defeat Zabit similar to what he did to the Korean Superboy. This is a dangerous ladder up for Zabit versus a fighter who has fought the top fighters and who also has knockout power.

I reckon Zabit should be prepared to be disappointed hehehe.

I got a weird feeling that Woodley could lose this one, as much as I like him as a fighter. 

Anyway, here's a vid that should get all of you excited for this weekend's event.  Enjoy.    And there's more coming.

The best card this year without a doubt Jon Jones, Tyron Woodley, Ben Askren, Pedro Munhoz, Zabit Magomedsharipov and Mickey Gall are my picks in this card.

Jon Jones is an intelligent fighter and the weight gap in the heavyweight division is so huge if he is facing someone like Francis Ngannou, the size advantage is really a thing and one shot could change everything, he might do some selected fights in the heavy weight division rather than moving entirely up the division.

Anyone could beat anyone at a given day in a fight, but Jone Jones has not shown any weakness yet in his long career and that is the reason majority of the fight fans considers him as the greatest fighter ever and i am sure he is more focused than before even though he is partying even now.

Pretty much a stack up line up here:

Definitely, Jones will be the favorite to win this fight. I guess if he win this fight, then he can either move up in weight or fight Thiago who blasted Jan couple of days ago and then that's it, he had clean the division again so he needs to move up to heavyweight.

Interesting to hear the thoughts of the rest of our MMA 'experts' regarding the rest of the cards. 

Jones will probably win, but I love Lionheart much more and hope he can do damage.He always fights with heart and gives it all. If he will be brave in this fight and creative he could beat Jones.

Jones has nothing else to prove in the lightheavies, he has to move up to the heavies.

One of the best fight nights in UFC that I have seen in a while. This one will be really good to watch I am excited. I have to take John in this fight.

No doubt about it a fight for the Light Heavyweight Championship I will surely go with Jon Jones because I can see that he is an excellent fighter with the range of his kicks I think he can manage to win over Smith, Well you can see from his records of 23-1 No doubt if it wasn't for his disqualifications of an illegal downward elbow in his fight against Matt Hamill he would be undefeated, But still I really think he is undefeated, Well I am sound bias against Anthony Smith but that is my thoughts on what may be the outcome over this fight, That is why my bet goes to Jon Jones.

And moving on to the Women's Strawweight division I really think that Polyana Viana is a gorgeous and astonishing fighter and my bet goes to her and will defeat Hannah Cifers in the match, Well for me wrecking a man's face after robbing her was a good example why she can win in this fight.
