Former middleweight champion Sean Strickland returns to battle Brazilian powerhouse Paulo Costa in a rare five-round co-headliner while a second exciting showdown at 185 pounds will see Kevin Holland throw hands with Michal Oleksiejczuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MAIN CARD (from 4 PM Sunday SA time):<\/strong><\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Islam Makhachev (1.15) v Dustin Poirier (5.70) (Lightweight Championship)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A warrior to his core, Poirier (30-8) has – through unrelenting drive – gone from a young scrapper from Lafayette, Louisiana who broke onto the scene with a decision victory over Josh Grispi back in 2011 to one of the biggest names in mixed martial arts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s a former interim lightweight champion and a future UFC Hall of Famer, a fighter\u2019s fighter who\u2019s done it the hard way. No trash-talking his way into big fights or campaigning on social media. No, \u201cThe Diamond\u201d has done it the old-school way, by battling all comers, both at featherweight and lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s beaten five champions, starting with the trio of Anthony Pettis, Justin Gaethje and Eddie Alvarez, before besting Max Holloway to capture the interim 155-pound title and ascending to superstar status by stopping Conor McGregor twice in two of the biggest pay-per-views in UFC history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s just about done it all. Just about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The one milestone that still eludes Poirier is winning undisputed gold. He\u2019s fallen agonisingly short of his ultimate goal on two occasions, first against Makhachev\u2019s mentor Khabib Nurmagomedov in 2019 and then against Charles Oliveira in 2021, both times by submission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, he refused to give up on his dream. Betting on himself, he risked his top-five ranking by facing the hottest rising star in the division in Benoit Saint Denis in March. \u201cThe God of War\u201d entered the clash unbeaten in the UFC and having finished his last five opponents, but Poirier \u2013 at 35 \u2013 proved he\u2019s still one of the true elite by knocking out the French phenom in the second round to earn another shot at undisputed glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nothing has come easy for Poirier, so it\u2019s fitting that to realise his lifelong dream, he mustn\u2019t beat just any champion but the pound-for-pound king.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makhachev (25-1) is a monster wrestler, a sambo savant with killer instinct and ever-improving striking. The epitome of a dominant force, the Dagestani destroyer is on a remarkable 13-fight win streak with his only loss dating back to his UFC debut back in 2015 when he got caught by Adriano Martins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having captured the crown by dropping and then submitting Oliveira (his 11th win by tapout) in 2022, the 32-year-old has defended his title twice, beating featherweight champion and fellow pound-for-pound great Alexander Volkanovski in back-to-back super fights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After being thoroughly tested by \u201cThe Great\u201d in their first meeting, which saw Makhachev retain by decision, he made a statement in the rematch by stopping the Australian ace with a brutal head kick in the opening round (his fifth KO win), which further highlighted the fact that the 155-pound king is dangerous everywhere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The same is true for Poirier. Though known for his striking, which has earned him 15 wins by knockout, he\u2019s a slick grappler as well with eight submissions to his name. That said, his game plan will be to keep the fight on the feet, where he\u2019s the crisper of the two southpaws.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Win or lose, Poirier hasn\u2019t gone the distance in almost four years, and he won\u2019t die wondering against Makhachev, so the judges will in all likelihood not be needed to determine the winner. As comfortable as Poirier is in chaos, he does have a problem with giving up positions that lead to submissions and I see that once again leading to heartbreak for him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Makhachev by submission.<\/a>
Best Bet:<\/strong> Makhachev by submission at 1.83.<\/a>
Alternative Bet: <\/strong>Under 2.5 rounds at 1.55.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sean Strickland (1.40) v Paulo Costa (3.00) (Middleweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The co-main event, which like the headliner is scheduled for five rounds, is a crucial clash in the middleweight division pitting the technique of Strickland (28-6) against the power of Costa (14-3).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strickland returns to the Octagon for the first time since losing his middleweight title to South Africa\u2019s fighting pride Dricus du Plessis in a very competitive fight in January.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unfiltered American feels he was robbed that night and after much moaning over the split decision going against him, he\u2019s ready to get back on the horse and consolidate his No. 1 ranking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Costa is a feared knockout artist with 11 wins by KO. Big for the weight class, the muscle-bound Brazilian can stop anyone at 185 pounds with his neutralising power and threatened to finish ex-titleholder Robert Whittaker in February but wound up losing on points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ranked seventh, \u201cThe Eraser\u201d is 1-3 in his last four fights, however, he can vault straight back into title contention with a victory this weekend. He won\u2019t have to go chasing Strickland as the Xtreme Couture ace always comes forward and stays in his foe\u2019s face, yet he\u2019s a tough target to hit due to his masterful use of the Philly Shell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Strickland is such a savvy and unique striker that even Israel Adesanya was snake-charmed when the 33-year-old dethroned him in one of the biggest upsets in UFC history last September. Thus, I don\u2019t see a flat-footed Costa landing the clean shot he\u2019ll need to upset the applecart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead, Strickland will put pace and pressure on Costa and chip away en route to a decision victory.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Strickland by decision.<\/a>
Best Bet: <\/strong>Strickland by decision at 2.50.<\/a>
Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Fight to go the distance at 2.20.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kevin Holland (1.34) v Michal Oleksiejczuk (3.35) (Middleweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The ever-entertaining Holland (25-11) returns to middleweight where he first made a name for himself after a three-year quest at welterweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrailblazer\u201d cracked the top 10 and went 4-3 at 170 pounds, losing only to top contenders, and back-to-back close defeats to Jack Della Maddalena and Michael Page see him move back up to 185 pounds, where he\u2019d previously won five straight to enter the elite before being cooled down by Derek Brunson and former title challenger Marvin Vettori.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oleksiejczuk (19-7) is not on the level of any of the names listed who Holland has lost to. The Pole has no notable wins to speak of and doesn\u2019t have dynamic striking or strong wrestling. He\u2019s 3-2 since moving from light heavyweight to middleweight in 2022 and lost both of his bouts against ranked opponents (Caio Borralho and Michel Pereira).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On top of being the slicker striker and grappler (he boasts 14 knockouts and seven submissions), Holland is the much bigger man and will enjoy a seven-inch reach advantage. He\u2019ll take it to \u201cHussar\u201d and outclass him to get the finish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Holland by stoppage.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet:<\/strong> Holland by KO\/TKO\/Submission\/DQ at 1.95.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Holland by submission at 3.50.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jailton Almeida (1.33) v Alexander Romanov (3.40) (Heavyweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t your typical heavyweight showdown. While they do possess the power you expect from the big boys, these two are among the primary grapplers in the division, which makes for an intriguing contest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Seventh-ranked Almeida (20-3) had strung together six straight wins to put himself one fight away from a title shot. Unfortunately for the Brazilian, he lost that fight to perennial top contender Curtis Blaydes and is looking to bounce back from that March setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirteenth-ranked Romanov (17-2), meanwhile, halted a two-fight losing skid with a decision win over Blagoy Ivanov last July. The Moldovan is more of a brawler on the feet than Almeida, with the latter simply using strikes to mask takedown attempts, but he does it well and his wrestling is strong enough for him to control Romanov, who\u2019s been blanketed by lesser grapplers in the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKing Kong\u201d hasn\u2019t fought the level of competition Almeida has, while \u201cMalhadinho\u201d is more athletic and has better cardio as well, so he should grind out the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction:<\/strong> Almeida by decision.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: <\/strong>Almeida by decision at 5.00.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative Bet:<\/strong> Over 1.5 rounds at 1.95.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Randy Brown (1.55) v Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos (2.50) (Welterweight)<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

All-action welterweights who love to put on a show promise to get the main card off to an exciting start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brown (18-5) started the year with a bang, knocking out Muslim Salikhov in February for his sixth win in seven outings. Tall and rangy, \u201cRude Boy\u201d is a problem on the outside with his spear-like jab and clever combinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos Santos (24-7-1) has been quietly putting in solid work. It\u2019ll come as a shock to many that he boasts victories over Strickland (back in 2018) and Saint Denis (in 2021). He\u2019s unbeaten in his last three fights but had to be satisfied with a draw last time out (against Rinat Fakhretdinov).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n<\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dos Santos won\u2019t shy away from trying to close the distance (he\u2019ll have a five-inch reach disadvantage), but in doing so, he\u2019s set to eat punches. He\u2019s tough to put away, though, so Brown\u2019s accuracy and versatility will most likely lead to a decision win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prediction: <\/strong>Brown by decision.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Best Bet: <\/strong>Brown by decision at 2.50.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alternative Bet: <\/strong>Brown at 1.55.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
