The Bloody Elbow team has made its own predictions for UFC 234, and it is a clean sweep for Robert Whittaker to defend his middleweight title by beating Kelvin Gastelum, whilst everyone is backing Israel Adesanya over Anderson Silva in the co-main occasion. To put it differently, congrats to Gastelum and Silva on their wins on Saturday.

Robert Whittaker vs. Kelvin Gastelum
Anton Tabuena: 2 prior welterweights fighting for the middleweight belt. Will this convince people that intense weight cutting really isn’t worth the trade off in operation? Likely not, but this ought to be an entertaining bout either way at the least. I believe this will be even closer than that which the chances say, but I think Whittaker is just marginally better just about anywhere, so he should take this. Robert Whittaker by decision.
Mookie Alexander: Gastelum absolutely has a chance . He has powerful hands, insane durability — not Whittaker’s durability is to be scoffed at by any means — and superb cardio. However, he is not likely to have the ability to take Whittaker down (or at least hold him there), and Whittaker has way more depth to his offensive striking. His leg kicks in particular can slow Gastelum down, and I think he dismisses better angles and combines his strike choice and targets more effectively than Kelvin. It’ll be a close fight through the opening few rounds but Whittaker will come on strong at the later rounds and get the win. Robert Whittaker by conclusion.
