The MMA had some incredible moment in 2018. Amanda Nunes who knocked out Cris Cyborg during the first round. Khabib Nurmagomedov who jumped over the cage after defeating Conor McGregor. Jon Jones making a return after some serious drama. Eddie Alvarez and Demetrious Johnson joining ONE Championship. The list goes on.
Max Holloway To Win The Lightweight Championship
Whether it’s an interim belt or the undisputed title that Khabib Nurmagomedov currently holds, there’s a great chance that Holloway will claim it.

This will be vital against Nurmagomedov who is currently the best MMA grappler.
Conor McGregor Will Be Winless in 2019
McGregor’s last victory occurred in 2016, he didn’t enter the octagon in
