UFC 245

The last numbered fight card of the year features a packed event, which is being headlined by Kamaru Usman defending his title against Colby Covington at 170 lbs.  This is sure to be an exciting battle as there is certainly no love lost between the two.  Usman has the advantage over height and reach but Covington’s undeniable talent (and attitude!) will be a tough challenge

 

Joint co-main event is Max Holloway putting his featherweight belt on the line against Alexander Volkanovski, who is the number one ranked challenger.  Holloway is the taller man but has a shorter reach.  An intriguing match up!

 

The other co-main event sees champion Amanda Nunes up against number one contender Germaine de Randamie at 135 lbs.  In the tale of the tape these women are very closely matched, but it is Nunes who is the favourite to win, but  de Randamie may feel she has a point to prove following her victory over Holly Holm
