This card will be headlined by an exciting heavyweight fight that features Russian giant Alexander Volkov and the most exciting heavyweight fighter in the UK Tom Aspinall. This fight almost got cancelled as there were concerns that Volkov would struggle to get a visa to fight in the UK given the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
Volkov got his visa sorted and is now ready to face a rising star in the heavyweight division. Aspinall is a heavyweight fighter but looks and moves like a lightheavyweight. His last four fights in the UFC have all ended in either a KO or submission and he will want to make it 5 in a row. However it is not going to be easy for him as Volkov is by far the biggest challenge he has faced.
We are going to back Aspinall to win this fight by stoppage in front of his home crowd!
Current odds: Alexander Volkov (2.00) / Tom Aspinall (1.80)
Some of the other big names on this card include Gunnar Nelson, llia Topuria and Paul Craig!
Arnold Allen vs. Dan Hooker
Expect this fight to be a banger as Allen loves to stand and bang and has some fantastic striking. Standing before him is the Kiwi Dan Hooker who has dropped down from lightweight to featherweight to make a run in this weightclass.
Hooker is also a great striker with a decent ground game. Will the weight cut to 145 impact Hooker’s performance or will he be able to take out Allen and make a run for the title at featherweight? We are going to back Allen to beat the veteran Hooker in this fight!
Current odds: Arnold Allen (1.85) / Dan Hooker (1.95)
Paddy Pimblett vs. Rodrigo Vargas
Paddy Pimblett is arguably the most exciting young fighter in the UFC with just one fight under his belt in the promotion. We expect Mexican fighter Vargas to give him a tough challenge but expect Pimblett to come out with a finish!
Current odds: Paddy Pimblett (1.20) / Rodrigo Vargas (4.50)
