Tonight, UFC 289 goes down and here at ATF, we’re going to give our predictions on the main and co-main event. Amanda Nunes vs Irene Aldana and Charles Oliveira vs Beneil Dariush.
Amanda Nunes vs Irene Aldana
Angus: Aldana - You've got to question how hungry Nunes is at this stage of her career, she isn't the most active fighter ever whilst Aldana, motivated by Grasso beating Shevchenko recently, is hungrier and I think she'll get the job done.
JK: Nunes - Nunes lacked the killer instinct to get the finish against Peña. Aldana is durable and tough, but I'm going with Nunes via decision
Taylor: Nunes - Amanda Nunes is better all around than Aldana, I think she’s gonna get the job done.
Ash: Nunes - I think Amanda will be too much for the short notice Aldana. Give me Nunes.
Si: Nunes - When Nunes fights, she fights 5 rounds, Aldana hasn’t had to do that and I think this is another reason why Nunes is going to win.
Charles Oliveira vs Beneil Dariush
Angus: Oliveira - I keep doubting Dariush and he keeps proving me wrong, however, I think Oliveira is still the best in the division looking at his resume. MMA math doesn’t work, but I think the guys he’s beaten beat Dariush.
JK: Oliveira - Both guys will cancel each other out in the grappling department, so I’m expecting a stand-up affair. I’m giving Oliveira the advantage in that area and I’m predicting a TKO finish for Charles.
Taylor: Oliveira - I think Charles is going to edge it for me, he’s so technically good and he’s gonna get it done.
Ash: Oliveira - Going Oliveira he will come out the gates flying and i think he can get Dariush out of there.
Si: Dariush - I think the grappling cancels out, it could come down to the mentality and I think Dariush would thrive there.
