UFC On ESPN 38 takes place this coming Saturday night, June 25th in Las Vegas and we’ve got our predictions for all the fights below.
In the main event two in-form lightweights looking to break into the top 10 rankings lock horns, with Arman Tsarukyan having amassed a five-fight winning streak in the UFC, while former KSW champ Gamrot has compiled three victories in a row.
In the co-main event UFC veteran Neil Magny has five wins from his last six fights as he prepares to face Shavkat Rakhmonov, who holds a perfect 15-0 career record, including a trio of wins in the UFC so far.
There’s plenty of pressure to get a win in this heavyweight match-up, with Josh Parisian having lost two of his three UFC bouts to date, while Alan Baudot has yet to get a win in his three-fight Octagon run.
A year ago Thiago Moises was on a three-fight winning streak, but now he’s coming off back-to-back losses as he squares up to Christos Giagos, who suffered a TKO loss to this event’s headliner Arman Tsarukyan last time out.
Umar Nurmagomedov has so far made his cousin Khabib proud in the UFC with two submission wins in a row since joining, extending his record to 14-0, while Nathan Maness has won his first three fights in the UFC and holds a 14-1 career record.
Opening up the main card will be Chris Curtis, who has won his first two UFC outings via strikes, while Rodolfo Vieira has had a 3-1 run in the UFC, with every fight ending by submission.
