With 2024 being such a crazy year in the world of mixed martial arts, we felt it was important to look back at the predictions that were made heading into a memorable year for the sport.
In part one of our two-part predictions extravaganza, MMA Fighting’s Mike Heck and Alexander K. Lee look back on some of the responses they had to listener questions in regards to what 2024 was going to bring. Topics include Jon Jones’ activity and the future of the UFC heavyweight championship, the PFL’s potential success after acquiring Bellator, if Paddy Pimblett would end the year as a ranked lightweight in the UFC, Francis Ngannou, Jake Paul’s MMA debut, the UFC’s antitrust lawsuit impact, UFC champions in each division, bold predictions for the year, and more.
In addition, we will need you help for part two: Our 2025 predictions extravaganza episode. Submit your “buy or sell” questions the same way you send your matchmaking suggestions to Mike or AK on Twitter, Instagram, or email by Thursday, Jan. 2 — and, please, be as creative as you’d like.
