The UFC’s quest for global appeal continues this weekend, as the Octagon lands in Singapore for Fight Night 111. While local fans will get a rare taste of top-flight mixed martial arts action, North American fans will be forced to set their alarms Saturday morning or forego the event altogether.

Headlining the 12-bout UFC Fight Pass event are a pair of bantamweights looking to find their footing in the pursuit of division gold. Holly Holm once held the title but has scuttled to three straight losses after she emphatically ended the era of Ronda Rousey. Bethe Correia has meanwhile posted a 1-1-1 since her ruinous title run ended with a 34-second knockout defeat to the fighter known as “Rowdy.”

The co-main event features another former champion, Andrei Arlovski, go up against an up-and-coming foe. The Belarusian, who has dropped four straight contests, will look to turn back the clock against Marcin Tybura, who has posted consecutive wins since faltering in his UFC debut.

The main card is rounded out by a pair of welterweight showdowns between Dong Hyun Kim and Colby Covington, and Rafael dos Anjos and Tarec Saffiedine.

As Bleacher Report is wont to do, we’ve assembled our predictions crew to provide insight into how these fights will play out. Read on for predictions from Scott Harris, Nathan McCarter, Steven Rondina and Craig Amos.
