MMA SQUARED: Prospects and Train Wrecks, how have my 2019 predictions gone so far?

First we have Alexander Volkanovski (seen here retiring Chad Mendes), who is set to challenge Max Holloway for the featherweight title in four weeks at UFC 245. One right, four to go.

After a stellar 2018 (finishing Carla Esparza and Alexa Grasso) Tatiana Suarez seemed poised for greatness. However, she suffered an injury en route to a lackluster decision win against Nina Ansaroff and Joanna Champion has taken her place. Partial credit?

Like Suarez, bantamweight Aspen Ladd made headlines smashing through Tonya Evinger and had a banger with Sijara Eubanks to start the year.
