Who will win the UFC 268 fights?

UFC 268 is probably going to be one of the best cards of 2021. There will be some amazing fights including Usman vs. Covington 2, Namajunas vs Zhang 2, and Gaethje vs Chandler. The question is, who will win each fight?

 Usman vs. Covington 2

Usman is on an 18-fight win streak. That is a lot of fights. Especially to be winning in a row. Covington has also been Usman’s toughest challenger as champion. Usman has recently beat Gilbert Burns, Jorge Masvidal (2 times), Colby Covington (2019), and Tyron Woodley. Covington has also won against some really good fighters. Including, Tyron Woodley, Robbie Lawler, and Demian Meia. Covington hasn’t lost to anybody, other than Usman, since 2015. On the other hand, Usman hasn’t lost since 2013. I think this fight will play out the same way it did last time. I think it will be an extremely close fight until somebody makes a mistake. I think Usman will win, but maybe a little quicker than their first fight.

 

Namajunas vs Zhang 2

This fight is a tough one to predict considering their first fight was only 1 minute and 13 seconds long. Rose has a 1-inch height advantage and a 2-inch reach advantage. They both beat Joanna Jedrejczyk. Zhang won by decision once, and Namajunas won by TKO and decision. This fight could really go either way. Zhang is very strong, but don’t underestimate Rose. Ultimately, I think Zhang Weili will win this fight, unless she makes a mistake and Rose’s timing is really good.

Gaethje vs. Chandler

This fight will be pure violence. Both guys are very tough. Don’t forget, this is only Chandler’s 3rd fight in the UFC. Gaethje has a lot of experience though.  Gaethje has fought some of the best lightweights in the UFC. This includes, Khabib Nurmagomedov, Tony Ferguson, Edson Barboza, Dustin Porier, and Eddie Alvarez. Sure, he didn’t win them all, but experience is key in the UFC. In the end, I think Gaethje will win this fight.

 

Whether my predictions are right or wrong, I think their will be some November 6th for UFC 268.
