Ahead of UFC PPV events, Bloody Elbow will take to the popular dating app, Tinder, to see what predictions users have on the headlining fight(s). We will keep a tally and display screenshots of the most interesting comments, predictions “hot takes,” and pick-up lines from our findings.

This chapter of Tinder Predictions comes ahead of UFC 248 on Saturday, March 7th, at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. In a continuation of the UFC 248 series, Israel Adesanya defends his Middleweight title against Yoel Romero in the main event.

Team: Israel Adesanya

“I work with facts”
2018 called, it wants its opener back.
Can’t disagree.
I’m not even going to begin to unpack this one.
19-0
Adesanya via this oddly specific combination.
This is a huge compliment.
We love a good in-depth prediction.
That’s a heck of a highlight to catch.
If “Never Back Down” is what got this guy into MMA, I have some concerns.

Team: Yoel Romero

Romero by KO was the most common guess.
I would have gone with “Stool man” as a more versatile descriptor, but sure.
How dare he put this bad juju out there.
I mean, fair.
“For once”
The most unappealing thing you can call anyone.
That last line is never followed by anything good.
Truly great selection skills.
I would pay to see this fight.
Won’t disagree with this point.

Bonus:

Sean O’Malley got a good number of honourable mentions.
*Eye roll*
Hardcore fan status: Achieved.
D- on this opener.
Wrong sport.
The number of people who made boxing references during this set of predictions broke records.
Gervonta-Davis-level red flags.
Their names are right there.
These are the kind of questions we need to be asking, people.
This conversation went too many directions.
