#1 UFC Fight Night: Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Ciryl Gane
Jairzinho Rozenstruik vs. Ciryl Gane is, beyond the shadow of a doubt, one of the most exciting MMA fights booked to take place in the 2021 calendar year. Rozenstruik and Gane have thunderous power, but it’s the former who enjoys a slight edge in the one-strike KO aspect.

#2 UFC Fight Night: Nikita Krylov vs. Magomed Ankalaev
This is another brilliant matchup. Krylov is a severely underrated fighter. And come Fight Night, he would surely be looking to get this bout to the ground right away.
On the contrary, Magomed Ankalaev will be aiming to keep the fight standing and tee off on Nikita Krylov. Make no mistake about it, Krylov has a strong, ever-evolving striking skill set. However, he’ll have to mix things up to survive on the feet against Ankalaev.
Regardless, Magomed Ankalaev, being a brilliant striker, is likely to catch Krylov and put him out. Ankalaev has excellent distance-management with his strikes and will also time Krylov’s entries into striking range, for the knockout.
The pick: Magomed Ankalaev to win via KO/TKO.

That said, Angela Hill’s striking has gotten even better. This, coupled with, Overkill’s experience and improved takedown defense would likely help her out-strike and defeat Yoder.
The pick: Angela Hill to win via unanimous decision.
