Adesanya Israel Adesanya has had only 3 of his last 11 fights end inside the distance. Arguably the best technical striker in the promotion, he uses his undeniable attributes to continuously collect wins. The UFC Middleweight Champion has a 22-1 MMA record which includes an 11-1 line in the UFC. The lone blemish on his record came when he moved up in weight to challenge Jan Blachowicz at UFC 259 for the Light Heavyweight Championship. The 38 year-old Jared Cannonier gives up 3 inches in reach and nearly half a foot in height. He’s 15-5-0 in his career but has gone 5-1 since moving to Middleweight where he has 4 wins by KO/TKO. Some recent trends to note, 6 of Adesanya’s last 8 fights have gone to decision, including 5 contests that went 25 minutes. Play on Adesanya Good Luck, Razor Ray. Saturday 7* UFC PLAY

Holloway Alexander Volkanovski won their first 2 meetings via unanimous and then split decision. The former was actually a lot closer than you’d think with 2 judges scoring it 48-47 Volkanovski. He’s gone to decision in 7 of his last 11 bouts with a 24-1-0 MMA record. Max Holloway has gone the distance in 6 straight bouts with a 3-3 record thanks to the 2 losses to Alexander the Great. Holloway is just 30 years old and has fought 25 times in the UFC. He’s 15-3 over his last 18 fights with his only defeats coming in title match-ups to Volkanovski and Poirier (at lightweight). Some recent trends to note, through the 50 minutes we’ve seen these two go head to head, neither has officially been knocked down. In fact, in his MMA career Holloway has never been dropped.
