Michael Chiesa vs Court McGee prediction
Michael Chiesa (18-7) is back in action for the first time in 2025 as he looks to make it three wins in a row. After losing three successive fights, he has since beaten a fading Tony Ferguson and Max Griffin at UFC 310. He now looks to make it three in a row as he takes on another UFC veteran in Court McGee (23-13).
McGee had not stopped an opponent for 14 years until last October when he submitted Tim Means at UFC 307. That victory brought a three-fight losing streak to an end and was just his fourth win in his last 12 fights.
He returns to action to face Chiesa and this promises to be a fascinating clash of styles. Chiesa is a submission specialist yet McGee has never been submitted in his 35 professional MMA fights.
That will add intrigue as to who can impose their will and gain Octagon control but that could lead to something of a stalemate. We expect this one to go the distance regardless and that is our preferred play here with Chiesa marginally favoured.
Prediction: Fight to go the distance
