UFC 323: Merab’s Historic Fourth Title Defense Against Undefeated Umar
UFC 323 goes down tomorrow night with Merab Dvalishvili attempting something no UFC champion has ever done – defending his title four times in a single calendar year.

The co-main event features Alexandre Pantoja defending his flyweight championship against 24-year-old rising star Joshua Van. Plus Brandon Moreno vs Tatsuro Taira, Henry Cejudo’s potential retirement fight, and Jan Błachowicz vs Bogdan “The Goose” Guskov.
Ringside Report MMA hosts Dave Simon and AJ D’Alesio provide expert predictions including Dave’s three-fight parlay: Merab, Payton Talbott, and “The Goose” Guskov.
UFC 321: Aspinall vs Gane Preview – Bold Picks + Vancouver Recap
The Ringside Report MMA team delivered their most comprehensive UFC 321 analysis yet, and their insights on the heavyweight title fight are fascinating.
Dave Simon makes a compelling case for why Ciryl Gane presents unique problems for Tom Aspinall: “It’s hard not to pick Aspinall. However, Ciryl is competent. He’s capable of winning the fight. Aspinall is probably the safer pick. But Cyril could easily win that fight, especially at heavyweight.”
