Down Under Dust-Ups: A Sneak Peek into UFC 2024’s Fiercest Fights & Fair Dinkum Predictions

G’day! Let’s take a squiz at the UFC lineup for 2024, chockers with bouts that’ll have you on the edge of your seat faster than a kangaroo on a trampoline. We’ve got some rippers on the card, and if you’re after a bit of a yarn and some larrikin-inspired predictions, you’ve come to the right place.

First up, Alexander Volkanovski took a bit of a biff against Ilia Topuria in a featherweight championship match that saw Volkanovski cop a knockout in the second round. Now, that was a bit of a surprise, like finding a quokka in your dunny. Meanwhile, Robert Whittaker showed Paulo Costa how we do things Down Under with a unanimous decision victory that was as satisfying as a cold one on a scorching arvo​ (UFC)​​ (Planet Sport)​.

UFC 299 is shaping up to be a beaut, with Sean O’Malley and Marlon Vera going head-to-head for a bantamweight title rematch. The undercard’s as packed as a Bondi bus, featuring matchups like Katlyn Chookagian vs Maycee Barber and Curtis Blaydes vs Jailton Almeida, among others. Predicting fights is a bit like predicting Melbourne weather – a bit unpredictable, but I’d say keep your eyes peeled for O’Malley seeking redemption in what’s shaping up to be a cracker of a fight​ (UFC)​.

Then there’s UFC 300 on April 13 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, which is looking flash as a rat with a gold tooth. While the main event’s still a mystery, the card features Jiří Procházka vs Aleksandar Rakić and Aljamain Sterling vs Calvin Kattar, promising some top-notch scuffles that’ll likely have more hits than an angry emu​ (UFC)​.

As for predictions, mate, it’s a bit like trying to pick the winner in a cockroach race. But for UFC 299, my two bob’s worth says O’Malley might just have the fire in his belly to turn the tables on Vera. And for UFC 300, keep an eye on Procházka – the lad’s got moves slicker than a greased-up wombat.

Lastly, in true Aussie fashion, we’re all about giving everyone a fair go, so don’t chuck a wobbly if these predictions go as pear-shaped as a dodgy boomerang throw. The beauty of the UFC is anything can happen, and that’s why we love it more than a snag at a footy match. So, grab a tinny, park yourself in front of the telly, and get ready for a burl. It’s going to be a rip-snorter of a year for the UFC!
