Conor McGregor vs. Chad Mendes for the interim featherweight title might not be the UFC 189 main event we had hoped for, but Saturday’s card remains must-see television despite the withdrawal of featherweight champion Jose Aldo. After all, this is the McGregor show, and people will tune in to see the Irishman irrespective of his opponent.
In addition to the main event, we can look forward to a rematch between Robbie Lawler and Rory MacDonald for the UFC welterweight title, Dennis Bermudez vs. Jeremy Stephens, Brandon Thatch vs. Gunnar Nelson and Brad Pickett vs. Thomas Almeida. The event is about as stacked as a modern UFC card is likely to be.
As ever, Bleacher Report MMA’s prediction team is here to guide you through Saturday night’s main card. Read on for the views of Scott Harris, Riley Kontek, Sean Smith, Craig Amos and yours truly, James MacDonald.
