5 bold predictions for UFC 265

#2. Pedro Munhoz vs Jose Aldo will win 'Fight of the Night'

Of all the amazing matchups at UFC 265, this is a fight that is really worth looking out for. The co-main event of UFC 265 has the potential to be a barn-burner.

The major reason behind this prediction is the fact that three out of the last four of Pedro Munhoz's fights have been awarded the 'Fight of the Night' honor. The 34-year-old always brings the fight and, with a worthy dance partner, can put on a hell of a show for the fans.

Who could be a more worthy dance partner than UFC legend Jose Aldo? 'Junior' recently broke his three-fight skid with a win over rising prospect Marlon Vera. By defeating 'The Young Punisher', Aldo can move one step closer to another bantamweight title shot.

So, from all the fights on the UFC 265 card, Munhoz vs Aldo has the highest chance of winning the 'Fight of the Night' bonus.

#1. Derrick Lewis will win the interim UFC heavyweight championship via KO/TKO

Derrick Lewis is one of the hardest hitting fighters on the entire UFC roster. 'The Black Beast' possesses devastating power to put his opponent's lights out with a single blow. Lewis proved exactly that in his last fight against Curtis Blaydes, where one perfectly timed uppercut was enough to put 'Razor' to sleep.

Ciryl Gane is a highly-skilled fighter with an undefeated record of 9-0. 'Bon Gamin' knows how to stay out of his opponents' range and avoid their punches. The French fighter also has impressive cardio. The same cannot be said for Lewis, who tends to gas out after the first couple of rounds. Many favor Gane to win either via decision or a finish in the championship rounds.

But the Louisiana native has shown in the past that, despite being down multiple rounds, he can make a comeback. He did so in his fight against Alexander Volkov.

So there is a high chance that the 36-year-old will hand 'Bon Gamin' his first loss and win the interim heavyweight title.
