Yes I'm really looking forward to these two fights in particular.
As for the Dillashaw vs Garbrandt fight; I'd class this as a coin flip situation. Both are good fighters with stoppage power and quite evenly matched.

As for the 'Mighty Mouse' Johnson fight; well this is a different kettle of fish entirely. I just can't see it going any other way because the guy is just a fighting machine. He appears to have no flaws in his game whatsoever and is easily one of the best UFC fighters to ever step foot in the Octagon.

Henry Cejudo avenged his 1st round loss to Demetrius Johnson back in 2016 to win a split points decision victory & win the Flyweight belt a title that Johnson has held since 2012 (& his 12th defence of the title).A great fight that was too close to call & was in danger of finishing early when Cejudo seemed roll his ankle early in the 1st & seemed to carry a slight knee injury going into the fight but held on & secured the takedowns to get the win against one of the best pound-for-pound fighters in the world.

TJ Dillashaw made shorter work than his previous fight against Cody Garbrandt to stop the former stablemate near the end of the 1st with both landing big bombs on each other Dillashaw proved he was the more clinical of the two.After Cejudo's title win against Johnson he said he wanted to move up & fight the winner of Dillashaw & Garbrandt but methinks Dillashaw will defend his belt in a rematch with Dominic Cruz who previously beat Dillashaw for the belt a year or 2 ago.

In the small hours of Sunday Morning Darren Till makes his attempt against Tyrone Woodley in Dallas to become only the second British fighter to win a title in UFC I would love to see Till Wi, but I don't think Woodley will give up his title that easily so it's either going to end in KO decision or split decision and Till has to raise his aggression game.

Will Conor be coming to win? I hope he so.
But i actually do think this is in a way a make or break fight for him
If he wins he has to stop messing around and defend the title more often

If he loses?

Well that's for him to decide...

I'm sure he'll come to fight alright, I just hope his takedown defense is up to scratch because I very much doubt Khabib will be overly interested in standing and striking with him. On paper Khabib should have the upper hand in the grapling, although it has been said that Conor's grapling game is underestimated because he prefers to strike.

In my opinion this will end one of two ways 1st or 2nd round ko for conor or a late stoppage for khabib
My predicton is a first round ko for conor

My gut feeling is a 2nd round stoppage for Conor if his power game up to speed
