Tonight, UFC 285 goes down and here at Against The Fence, we’re going to predict both title fights: Jon Jones vs Cyril Gane and Valentina Shevchenko vs Alexa Grasso.
Jon Jones vs Cyril Gane
Angus: Gane - I think the UFC are desperate for Jones to win to cement his status as not only the GOAT but as a PPV megastar. But I think Gane is going to be too skilful on his feet and will stop Jones’s takedowns.
Si: Jones - Gane has the hardware the strength and the means to get the job done but Jones has the software, the know-how and the will to actually do it so I’m going with Jon Bones Jones!
JK: Gane - I’m Ciryl Gane ride or die, but I’m not completely confident. I’m hoping Jones’ ego will get the better of him and Gane outpoints him across the 5 rounds.
Ash: Gane - I’m going with Gane I just think his size will play a big part in this fight and each time Gane lands it will show.
Taylor: Jones - I personally hope that Gane wins, but I have a bad feeling that Jones is going to win due to his wealth of experience in that octagon.
Valentina Shevchenko vs Alexa Grasso
Angus: Shevchenko - I mean this with no disrespect, but I believe there are girls in the Women’s Flyweight division who could cause Val some problems. But Grasso isn’t one of them.
Si: Shevchenko - I just think she’s better in all aspects of the fight and she’ll dominate. Is this going to be tougher than Taila Santos? I don’t think so.
JK: Shevchenko - I’m picking Shevchenko because I think her kicking game will be too much of a problem for Alexa Grasso.
Ash: Shevchenko - I am going with Shevchenko I think she is going to be too much for Grasso in all areas of the fight.
Taylor: Shevchenko - I'm obviously going for Shevchenko, I mean, it’s Valentina Shevchenko!
