1. Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou 2
Mcgregor Ufc 202
Francis Ngannou has proved himself deserving of another title shot with his run in the heavyweight division. Champion Stipe Miocic dominated ‘The Predator‘ in their first contest at UFC 220.
But with a much improved Ngannou, who has developed a lethal finishing style, the rematch has to happen in 2021. It will be interesting to see how the fight goes this time around.
2. Colby Covington vs Jorge Masvidal
The fight between the two former best friends has long been in the making now. With the two welterweights eyeing another shot at the title, this fight is a must-do for 2021.
UFC President Dana White also hinted recently that the promotion is working on getting the fight booked. Given Covington and Masvidal‘s willingness to fight each other, it only seems a matter of time before they finally face-off.
3. Khamzat Chimaev vs Leon Edwards
The welterweight clash between top contenders, Khamzat Chimaev and Leon Edwards, has now fallen apart twice. But it seems like the UFC has no plans to scrap the bout yet and wants to reschedule it at a convenient date. Fans will look forward to seeing how Chimaev copes against a seasoned top contender like Edwards in his first true test inside the Octagon.
4. Jon Jones’ debut at heavyweight
Jon Jones is set to make his much anticipated heavyweight debut in 2021. ‘Bones’ will get a title shot straight away once he is ready for his new venture.
It seems likely that the eventual winner of Stipe Miocic vs Francis Ngannou will be Jones’ first fight in the new weight class. Both fights promise to be exciting in different ways. Nevertheless, fans can’t wait to see the former light-heavyweight king at heavyweight.
5. Israel Adesanya vs Jan Blachowicz
Middleweight champion Israel Adesanya is moving up to light-heavyweight as he is set to fight Jan Blachowicz for the belt at UFC 259 in March. ‘Stylebender’ has established his dominance at the 185 lbs division and it will be fascinating to see how he copes against a much bigger fighter like Blachowicz.
This fight is also high up in every fan’s wishlist for sure.
Which other fight makes your list for the top five fights to look forward to in 2021? Let us know.

UFC President Dana White revealed to the UFC on FOX team after Sunday night’s, Jan. 14, UFC Fight Night 124 that UFC lightweight champion Conor McGregor will likely be stripped of his title. Now it would appear that the belt will be vacated sooner rather than later.
Russian news agency TASS is now reporting that the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) is planning on officially announcing Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Tony Ferguson at UFC 220 on Saturday, Jan. 20. TASS has always been a reliable news source when it comes to breaking stories concerning Russian fighters within the UFC. Reporting on Russia’s own Khabib Nurmagomedov, TASS has provided another interesting fact about the upcoming lightweight match up.
Furthermore, the news source is reporting that it will be officially announced at the event that Ferguson and “The Eagle” will be fighting for the undisputed lightweight title, rather than the interim belt.
Conor McGregor has yet to defend his lightweight title, having earned it with a stoppage victory over Eddie Alvarez way back in 2016. Now it would appear that “Notorious” will have to make his octagon return, if he wishes to regain his soon to be lost title.
UFC 220 goes down Jan. 20 inside the TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts and will be featured live on pay-per-view.
