MMA had some unforgettable moments in the previous year. Fans still remember Khabib Nurmagomedov’s leap over the cage and into the octagon after defeating Conor McGregor. The shocking knockout of Cris Cyborg by Amanda Nunes in the first round also made headlines. Jon Jones making his comeback was another big news in the MMA world.
Fans are eagerly looking forward to more exciting events in the upcoming year. Speculations have already begun circulating, primarily on social media platforms. Below are two popular predictions currently trending on social media.
Max Holloway is predicted to secure a lightweight championship
There is a strong belief that Max Holloway could clinch a lightweight championship in 2019. Whether it’s challenging the reigning title holder Khabib Nurmagomedov or any other scenario, Holloway stands a good chance of achieving success. Many are eager to see Holloway in a showdown this year, even though he may not be the most suitable opponent for Nurmagomedov. However, Holloway is rumored to be moving up to 155 pounds sometime this year.
The UFC is anticipated to make significant changes to its ranking system
This would be a groundbreaking move. Speculations are already rife among fans. The UFC is rumored to be revamping its ranking system, which has become quite complex and confusing over time. In the modern era, fans often struggle to understand the voting process and how rankings are determined. The focus is on streamlining the system to make it simpler and more efficient. Additionally, it has been confirmed that UFC will be inducting Frank Shamrock and Jens Pulver into its Hall of Fame.
