She hasn't finished any of her wins since her UFC debut and as the talent gets better those opportunities to grind out wins become less frequent. I predict that Marquez will use his superior wrestling to take Barriault down, and overwhelm him on the ground to secure a submission victory. Dricus Du Plessis is the latest prospect to stand up to Brunson. Jones is also in the midst of a losing streak. Jones' striking is his best asset and it can act as his get out of jail card. Garbrandt has superb boxing and his knockout of Raphael Assuncao would not have looked out of place on a Top Rank or PBC main card.

Jones was roughly -300 chalk in his rematch with Alexander Gustafsson, approximately -700 facing Anthony Smith, -500 versus Thiago Santos, and longer than -400 against Reyes in a fight he won on the judges’ scorecards, but not the public’s. The only issue with that if you’re leaning towards or cheering for Gane? Jones landed an average of 4.30 significant strikes per minute at 57 per cent efficiency in the 205-pound division; he absorbed 2.22 significant strikes per minutes with 64 per cent defence. The 32-year-old from France knocked out former heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos, won five-round main event unanimous decisions over Jairzinho Rozenstruik and Alexander Volkov, and earned an interim title by stopping Derrick Lewis in 2021. Alexander Volkanovski’s and Valentina Shevchenko were the only champions that didn't lose whilst Jones was away. Cormier later went on to become heavyweight champ, but how Jones does in his new weight class will be a mystery until he and Gane clash. He became champion in his seventh UFC bout and over the years accumulated multiple divisional and organizational records on his journey to becoming the No. 1-ranked heavyweight in the sport and undisputed defending UFC champion at the time of his release.

“I was moving around with Javid — and this is funny actually, it was Wednesday and Javid was doing his stuff in the cage at the P.I. I would if I could but my arm is just giving out, it’s too painful.’ He goes, ‘No, you’re just being a wuss!’ Then a couple of weeks later, I get an MRI. I said, ‘OK, let me just get my weight down first.’ I got on the treadmill for an hour, ran, and then I went to the P.I. “I did a crazy long warmup, and then even in Round 1, it was still sore. Afterward, Basharat immediately shifted his attention towards his brother Javid, who was already competing in the UFC with his next fight booked just a few days later. Then he kind of takes me down and I could have posted out but I just fell on my back. “Not for a second did I think I was going to pull out of the fight,” Basharat said. There was no way in hell I was going to get rejected from achieving my goal, from achieving my dream of getting that contract. “I was worried about how I’m going to make weight. And then on my first spar back, it was that spar — I was doing great, it’s the first round and I get taken down, and as I post out, my arm just locks up completely and just cracks. Originally signed to debut on Contender Series this past July, Basharat was pulled from his scheduled appearance after his opponent William Souza failed to make weight and the bout was scrapped.
