UFC 311 Predictions (Main Card)

Kevin Holland vs. Reinier de Ridder

I am not fully sold on Reinier de Ridder. I think that he is going to beat Holland but I could see it being a mediocre performance.

  • WINNER PREDICTION: Reinier de Ridder

Beneil Dariush vs. Renato Moicano

Beneil is coming off two losses but they are to Charles Oliveira and Arman Tsarukyan, so it is hard to hold that against him.

Moicano is on a four fight winning streak but I think that he is going to lose here.

  • WINNER PREDICTION: Beneil Dariush

Jiří Procházka vs. Jamahal Hill

Both Hill and Procházka are coming off losses to Alex Pereira, which makes this an intriguing fight.

I am going with Hill as my pick to win. Feels like a coin flip though.

  • WINNER PREDICTION: Jamahal Hill

Merab Dvalishvili vs Umar Nurmagomedov (UFC Bantamweight Championship)

I could easily see either guy winning. This should be a great fight.

My gut says that it will be Umar winning. He always impresses me and I don’t see that changing.

  • WINNER PREDICTION: Umar Nurmagomedov

Islam Makhachev vs Arman Tsarukyan (UFC Lightweight Championship)

This will be a rematch from their 2019 bout, where Makhachev won via decision.

I am going with Islam winning here. I just can’t bet against him.

  • WINNER PREDICTION: Islam Makhachev
