Every professional sport has suffered due to COVID-19. However, one sport that has remained adamant it will to continue throughout the coronavirus outbreak is Ultimate Fighting Championship. Dana White has been determined to produce UFC events all along and although some fights were cancelled early on, White and the UFC team have done a tremendous job to keep the action coming.

UFC 251 is a good example and this event took place on Fight Island, featuring an excellent contest between Kamaru Usman and Jorge Masvidal plus Max Holloway’s defeat to Alexander Volkanovski and Jiri Prochazka’s knockout win over Volkan Oezdimir. The good news is there is more to come as we take a look at the top 3 anticipated UFC matches remaining in 2020.

The third meeting between Stipe Miocic and Daniel Cormier is much anticipated and we now have a date for this fight. It is due to take place on the 15th of August at a venue yet to be decided. This will be the trilogy bout between heavyweight champion Miocic and former two-division champion Cormier, hence the huge anticipation. It appeared as though this match would never happen due to injuries and Cormier has said this will be his last bout before retirement. There is also a lot of speculation that Miocic could also announce his retirement following this fight.

Many fans believe this match will closely follow what happened in the second meeting between the pair and it could be one of the greatest fights in the history of the heavyweight division.

Punters around the world will be following all of the UFC action and the betting is going to be intense. Whenever you are placing bets online, whether it be for sporting events or at an online casino, you should always be looking out for the best no deposit bonus.

UFC fans will be hoping to see Khabib Nurmagomedov and Justin Gaethje clash before the year is out. They are scheduled to fight on September the 19th at UFC 253 although this has yet to be officially confirmed. Khabib will not only be putting his undefeated 28-0 record on the line but also his UFC lightweight title. Having defeated Tony Ferguson, who was the favourite to win at UFC 249, Gaethje will enter this fight with plenty of confidence having secured a fifth round knockout victory.

You must go back to UFC 242 last September to find the last time Khabib was in action and he defeated Dustin Poirier. However, the Russian has said he will be ready to step into the octagon with Gaethje.

Another highly anticipated UFC match remaining in 2020 is the potential contest between Tyron Woodley and Colby Covington. Woodley is a former UFC welterweight champion but is coming back from a recent loss against Gilbert Burns. Speaking in relation to a fight against Covington, Woodley said, “They offered me that fight. I told them I’m in”.

Woodley vs Covington has come close to happening in the past but both men have accused the other of turning it down. Much like Woodley, Covington will be coming into this fight on the back of a defeat so both men have something to prove.
