UFC on ESPN: Chiesa vs. Magny Full Card Preview + Prediction - The Vet, The Bet, and The Casual

We’ve reached the UFC halfway mark in what should be a huge culmination of three events when Conor McGregor takes on Dustin Poirier next Saturday. Once again, UFC Fight Island on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi fails to disappoint.

Before that, Michael Chiesa and Neil Magny headline an underrated card from Yas Island. Plenty of UFC prospects will get their shot against some notable UFC veterans who are hoping to make a mark in 2021.

Warlley Alves gets the tough test of slowing down Mounir Lazzez after he upset Abdul Alhassan in his debut. If the main card wasn’t enough with Lerone Murphy and Douglas Silva de Andrade making their return, the prelims are primed to be better.

Khabib Nurmagomedov’s cousin Umar Nurmagomedov is set to make a long awaited UFC appearance against a good striker in Sergey Morozov. An M-1 champion, Morozov will be doing everything he can to avoid the Dagestani wrestling, but easier said than done.

Cage Warriors Double-Champ Mason Jones make a sneaky UFC debut against Mike Davis, another UFC prospect primed for a breakout performance after spending time with Dustin Poirier preparing for the McGregor fight with American Top Team.

This has all the makings of a card to fly under the radar then slap you in the face.
