Blachowicz vs Teixeira
Jan Blachowicz is once again in the Octagon to defend his belt, this time against the good Brazilian fighter Glover Teixeira. The Polish has already dispatched 2 competitors for the light heavyweight title and has 5 consecutive victories. That just shows Blachowicz's preparation and ability to remain one of the best in the division, even though he's already a veteran.
On the other hand, Teixeira also accumulates some undefeated fights, demonstrating his evolution in UFC Fight Night events, including taking the award for best performance of the night. This will be the biggest challenge of all, but apparently Glover is one of the most capable of challenging Blachowicz right now.

Petr Yan vs Cory Sandhagen
This fight has everything to be one of the best of the night, for everything that involves the two competitors. It will be interesting to follow Petr Yan, who arrived at the UFC overwhelmingly, winning 7 consecutive duels, but was surpassed precisely in the title dispute. However, the way he was defeated was somewhat curious, by disqualification, after a blow (knee) considered illegal.
The Russian was packed and would probably get the better of that night. In this way, he is a great fighter and arrives strong to win the fight.
His challenger for the interim belt is the American Cory Sandhagen, who also packed a great streak of victories in his recent history, despite coming from a loss in his last duel. In short, they are two talented competitors, who deserve to be at the top for some time now, and are going in pursuit of that goal.

Magomed Ankalaev vs Volkan Oezdemir
Magomed Ankalaev is another Russian to climb the Octagon in this edition of the UFC, and he arrives with favoritism. In the biggest organization in the world, after his debut with defeat, he had only reason to be proud, accumulating great triumphs, always in an aggressive and consistent style.
The Swiss Volkan Oezdemir has a good history in the UFC, but if we look at his recent history, we will see a drop in his performance, adding more defeats than victories. No one doubts his ability to pull a rabbit out of his hat, but it's undeniable that Ankalaev arrives more confident.
