Our Prediction: Justin Tafa wins by decision.
Manuel Kape vs. Felipe Dos Santos:
Highly regarded undefeated fighter Felipe Dos Santos will make his UFC debut at UFC 293, facing the experienced Manuel Kape in a challenging matchup. Dos Santos has a slight physical edge, but it’s challenging to compare their records as Dos Santos is making his UFC debut.
Our Prediction: Felipe Dos Santos wins by submission.
Tai Tuivasa vs. Alexander Volkov:
Heavyweights Tai Tuivasa and Alexander Volkov will headline the UFC 293 co-main event. This fight has the potential to steal the show and earn “Fight of the Night” honors. Tuivasa is coming off a loss, while Volkov secured a victory in his last fight. Volkov holds a significant physical advantage, and their statistical records are closely matched.
Our Prediction: Tai Tuivasa wins by TKO.
UFC Middleweight Title: Israel Adesanya vs. Sean Strickland:
While fans may have hoped for a different middleweight title fight, Israel Adesanya will defend his title against Sean Strickland, as Dricus du Plessis wasn’t ready. Strickland is on a two-fight winning streak and has showcased his skills, but it’s a tough challenge against Adesanya. Although Strickland possesses physical attributes and charisma, Adesanya’s skill and experience make him the favorite.
Our Prediction: Adesanya wins by second-round KO.
