Charles Oliveira will defend his lightweight championship this weekend as he takes on Dustin Poirier in the headline event at UFC 269.
The annual end of year card is usually one of the more loaded cards of the year and Saturday night's show is no different.
This will be Oliviera's toughest test in years, as the Brazilian comes into the fight riding a nine consecutive win streak.
Poirier, who has defeated Conor McGregor twice this year, will look to regain his title against current champion and comes into the fight as the bookmakers' favourite.
A number of fighters have give their prediction ahead of the fight.
Chael Sonnen
"I am taking Poirier, and I don't feel strongly about it.
"Oliveira only really has one knock against him in that he's inconsistent.
"There are nights where he shows a beautiful display of mixed martial arts and there's another nights where he loses and you're left scratching your head.
"We have seen him be inconsistent and we have never seen that from Dustin Poirier - it brings his skills every night.
"I think he is gaining steam.
"Poirier has the heart and the will. I think he'll hang in there and I'm taking him to win."
Dan Hooker
"I would lean towards Poirier. Strong wrists, strong striking and strong submission defence.
"The momentum he's riding at the moment, I think he's so tough to beat."
Justin Gaethje
"It's going to be a good match-up. I think Poirier will win, I want him to win.
"I want to get that win back against him."
Michael Bisping
"I assume that Poirier will be favourite and I presume that he probably wins.
Michael Chandler
"I think Poirier puts hands on him pretty strongly.
"I think he wins it in the third or fourth round knockout, or go to a decision."
Paddy Pimblett
"I think Poirier will land a big shot and put him to sleep to be honest.
"As we saw against Michael Chandler, Charles Oliveira can get hurt with big shots and Poirier has big, big power - he's a big 155'er."
Khabib Nurmagomedov
"Charles Oliveira is a real finisher and he's real dangerous. If Dustin Poirier takes him to the deep ocean, I think he's going to win.
"My opinion, I believe Dustin is going to win."
