We are now just days away from the next UFC pay-per-view of the summer, as UFC 304 is scheduled to go off from Manchester, England Saturday night. At the very top of the card, Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammed will get their long-awaited rematch, this time for the welterweight strap that Edwards currently holds. In the co-main, the interim heavyweight belt will be on the line, as Tom Aspinall goes against Curtis Blaydes for his second straight interim heavyweight belt fight.
Before we get there, however, there are three other electric main card fights for fight fans to enjoy, starting with the first fight of the main card between Arnold Allen and Giga Chikadze. Which of these featherweights will get the best of the matchup? Let’s take a closer look.

Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze UFC 304 Prediction
Arnold Allen (19-3-0)
The current #6 fighter in the featherweight rankings, Allen will look to stop a two-fight losing streak, as he takes on another top 10 fighter in #10 Chikadze. Joining the UFC in 2021 at just 21 years old, Allen took out veteran Alan Omer in the third round to make a statement in his UFC debut.
Since then, the competition only went up, as we saw Allen progress to 16-1 and 7-0 in the UFC with a 2021 win over Sodiq Yusuff. Following two more wins against Dan Hooker and Calvin Kattar, Allen then ran into Max Holloway and Movsar Evloev, bringing him back to earth as he finally saw the cream of the crop in the promotion.
Giga Chikadze (15-3-0)
Joining the UFC in 2019, Chikadze picked up wins in his first five fights with the UFC before running into Omar Morales in December 2020, losing by decision. He then went on to win three straight fights via TKO, with statement wins over UFC veterans Edson Barboza and Cub Swanson. After a loss to Kattar in 2022, his first top-10 matchup, Chikadze rebounded last summer against Alex Caceres, winning in August 2023 via decision.
Arnold Allen vs. Giga Chikadze Pick
Since opening up as a -215 favorite, the money has continued to pour in on Allen, and a closer look at his statistics shows why. With a significant striking accuracy of 40%+, Allen averages 1.02 takedowns as well per 15 minutes in the octagon. While Chikadze might last the first couple of rounds, I like for the more well-rounded Allen to take this one before all is said and done.
