The Most Anticipated Bouts Happening Next Year

Posted on December 7, 2020 by A. J. Riot

Fighting is an exciting sport. In 2020 there have been some restrictions for fighting due to the pandemic;   but 2021 could be a big year for MMA with some big fights coming up. These bouts can be as exciting as a slot in an online casino (click here to learn more), or sometimes even more! The adrenaline, the show and the spectacular fights in boxing or MMA have always drawn huge crowds.

Let us look at the most anticipated bouts that are happening next year. Whether you can watch them live in a stadium or on TV, these fights will be spectacular as it gets and should not be missed!

  • UFC Fight Night: Holloway vs. Kattar (January 16. 2021)
  • UFC 257: Poirier vs McGregor 2 (January 23. 2021)
  • March 2021 at UFC Fight Night 190: Welterweight bout: Max Griffin vs. Song Kenan
  • March 2021 at UFC 259: Light Heavyweight bout: Aleksandar Rakic vs. Thiago Santos
  • March 2021 at UFC 259: Bantamweight bout: Dominick Cruz vs Casey Kenney

These are just some of the few big bouts that are happening in 2021. More will be announced in the coming weeks. We can anticipate even more blockbuster fights in 2021 with some special title fights who can shape the future of MMA.

What to expect from these bouts?

One can expect big fireworks on upcoming cards. Not only the main events but also the supporting bouts will be exciting. Viewers can expect a good portion of newcomers trying to make their way up to the top and great shows – as well as some good women’s MMA matches.

As in every year or every event, MMA bouts draw huge numbers of visitors and if the pandemic is still going on in early 2021, high TV ratings will be expected. Viewers can expect a high testosterone level around the McGregor vs Poirier fight in January, since it is a very anticipated clash between these two contenders. Superstar Conor McGregor is already deep into his training sessions and is highly focused on his training to win this bout.

MMA Betting

Another great reason to anticipate the many fights going on in 2021 are the betting opportunities that will be available. Almost all fights offer side bets and different scenarios for bets. But most importantly, the main bets on the big fights can be very lucrative if you bet on the right fighter. In that case, MMA fans and experts should look out for the many possible opportunities, which by the way, are offered online. It is important, that you always inform yourself before you make a bet on any MMA fight.

2021 will be a great year for MMA

If we look across the whole 2021, we can say that this year will be awesome. Not just for fans but also for the fighters, organizations and even the broadcast stations. We can look with high hopes to 2021 and see that there will be great chances to make MMA even more popular and the fighters get the chance, to make new fans along the way.
