NEW UFC BOUTS BOOKED INCLUDING RETURN OF EDDIE WINELAND
A women’s flyweight bout between Luana Carolina and Priscila Cachoeira is set for UFC 237, occurring May 11 in Jeunesse Arena at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cachoeira is filling in on short notice for the wounded Yanan Wu. The news broke. Carolina (5-1) is riding a five-fight win streak since dropping her MMA debut, including a success on the Brazilian Contender Series last summer. Cachoeira (8-2) has lost both of her UFC bouts to Valentina Shevchenko and Molly McCann. At this point, bettors will probably be seeking to fade Cachoeira due to all the damage she has been shooting in her struggles, and I would expect Carolina to be the preferred here despite having no experience inside the Octagon.
Eddie Wineland vs. Grigory Popov, UFC 238
An intriguing bantamweight bout between Eddie Wineland and Grigory Popov was added to UFC 238, taking place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Fight Country broke news. Wineland (23-13-1) is 5-7 total from the UFC and is coming from sequential decision declines to Alejandro Perez and John Dodson. He typically only fights after a year today, and has not won a fight because a TKO win over Takeya Mizugaki in 2016. Popov (13-1) is riding a nine-fight win streak on the Asian regional scene into his UFC debut, though he has not fought anyone of notice. Something interesting to keep in mind is that we’ve won two conflicts via the rarely-seen gogoplata submission. Still, I anticipate most bettors to look to evaporate Wineland here, and Popov will most likely be favored regardless of his lack of UFC experience.
Markus Perez vs. Deron Winn, UFC Fight Night 154
A fascinating middleweight bout between Markus Perez and Deron Winn is place for UFC Fight Night 154, occurring June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Combate broke the information. Perez (11-2) is currently 2-2 in the UFC and is coming from a submission win over Anthony Hernandez. Winn (5-0) is coming off of a determination win over Tom Lawlor in Golden Boy MMA 1 and was considered a top prospect in 205lbs, though he will be falling down in weight for this fight. Though Perez has looked really good in his victories, he is a bit too inconsistent for my liking and as a top prospect I anticipate Winn to be the favorite.
Molly McCann vs. Ariane Lipski, UFC Fight Night 154
Also added to UFC Fight Night 154 is a women’s flyweight bout between Molly McCann and Ariane Lipski. ESPN had the information. McCann (8-2) is 1-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win within the above Cachoeira. Lipski (11-4) was a winner in KSW and had a lengthy win streak before arriving in the UFC, but it had been snapped by a decision loss to Joanne Calderwood. The Calderwood fight was shown to be a difficult style matchup to get Lipski, yet this fight against McCann needs to be more in her wheelhouse, and I expect her to get her hand raised.
