One of the biggest cards of the year. We have the DC Miocic rematch, Nate Diaz returns for a quality match-up with Anthony Pettis supported by the bricked up bods of Yoel Romero and Paulo Costa. Violence guaranteed.

It is great to see Uruguay host the UFC for the first time and it is headlined by one of the best female fighters of all time in Valentina Shevchenko who avenges her first loss to Liz Carmouche. The card sees Uruguay’s own - Luiz Garagorri make his debut against Peru’s Humberto Bandenay.

The main card for UFC on ESPN 5 is pretty good but it’s all about the main event between Colby Covington vs Robbie Lawler. Everyone loves Lawler and everyone loves to hate Covington who is out to wrestle Lawler for five rounds but never count out a Ruthless Lawler knockout.

The UFC heads to Canada with Max Holloway defending his featherweight title against the legend Frankie Edgar which has to be his last attempt at becoming a two-division champion. The co-main features Cyborg which is always spectacle but it could be the last time we see her in the octagon.

I would say Leon Edwards is Britain’s best fighter right now and is one of the most underrated fighters in the UFC. He finally has his top 5 ranked opponent but Rafael dos Anjos is going to such a tough test with arguably, an even more well-rounded skill set.

The UFC heads back to Sacramento - the home of the legend Urijah Faber who steps back out of retirement to take on Ricky Simon. This plays the supporting act for Germaine de Randamie and Aspen Ladd who are eyeing a title shot against Amanda Nunes but do they really want a piece of the Lioness right now?!

BT Sport puts the first UFC event on PPV and it is one of the biggest cards of the year. The GOAT Jon Jones defends his title against the Sledgehammer Thiago Santos supported by another title fight featuring the female GOAT Amanda Nunes who takes on Holly Holm.

UFC on ESPN 3 is a mediocre card but it’s all about the headlining act that has replaced Woodley vs Lawler. The two hardest hitters in the UFC - Francis Ngannou and Junior dos Santos meet in a colossal clash that won’t last long.

The Zombie returns and is destined to put on another show, this time with Renato Moicano in a fantastic match up. The co-main features another talented Brazilian in the form of John Lineker who takes on Rob Font for a second time.

Henry Cejudo and Marlon Moraes battle it out for the vacant Bantamweight title and one of the most talented ladies in MMA - Valentina Shevchenko defends her crown for the first time which should be a beat down on paper but Jessica Eye has the ability to surprise. Supporting the main events we have Tony Ferguson vs Donald Cerrone which is one of the greatest match-ups possible in the UFC.

Stockholm plays the next host for the UFC with the beasts from the Allstars Training Center topping the card. Gustafsson, Latifi and Manuwa all have tough fights but no doubt they will all put on a show win or lose.

The UFC heads back to New York with a quality main event. Former Lightweights Rafael dos Anjos and Kevin Lee duke it out with Lee making his debut in the Welterweight division. The rest of the main card has some ‘under the radar’ fights but stylistically they should produce some great match-ups with potential finishes.

Rio hosts a stacked card with various Brazilian legends on show. Anderson Silva takes on Jared Cannonier, Jose Aldo takes on Alexander Volkanovski and Jessica Andrade challenges Thug Rose for her Strawweight strap.

Two animals and fan-favourites - Al Iaquinta and Donald Cerrone headline a mouthwatering Fight Night in Ontario, Canada with Derek Brunson looking to avoid another boring decision win for Elias Theodorou in the co-main.

The UFC arrives to Florida and unfortunately we don’t get to see the rematch between Jacare Souza and Yoel Romero but Jack Hermansson has stepped up in Romero’s absence to take part in the war. The rest of the card features some great fights which I break down and offer predictions but there is money to be won betting on the underdogs in this one.

The UFC makes it’s first visit to Saint Petersburg with a plethora of Russian beats flying the flag with Alistair Overeem and Alexey Oleynik headlining.

One of the best cards of the year is sure to live up to the hype featuring two interim title fights: Max Holloway vs Dustin Poirier and Kelvin Gastelum vs Israel Adesanya.

The second UFC event on ESPN features a motuh-watering match-up between two of the most exciting fighters in the UFC. Edson Barboza and Justin Gaethje arrive to Philadelphia hoping to knock each other’s heads off. I break down and predict the rest of the main card.

Anthony ‘Showtime’ Pettis has called out the best striker in the Welterweight division - Stephen ‘Wonderboy’ Thompson in what should be a fascinating stand-up battle. The rest of the card is rather nondescript but the main event will make up for it.

The UFC have put on a quality card with some of the best British talent. Scouser, Darren Till takes on the brawler Jorge Masvidal with Leon Edwards taking on one of the most talented guy’s on the roster - Gunnar Nelson. This is one of the most stacked Fight Night events in recent memory and I break down and predict the main card.
