UFC WICHITA, UFC NASHVILLE AND UFC PHILADELPHIA GET NEW BOUTS
A number of new UFC bouts have been added to three upcoming fight cards. Here are the bouts, together with my initial thoughts on these.
Alex White vs. Dan Moret, UFC Fight Night 146
Lightweights Alex White and Dan Moret are set to clash at UFC Fight Night 146, occurring March 9 in Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Nolan King broke the news. White (12-5) is 3-5 in the UFC and is coming from a submission loss to Jim Miller. Moret (13-4) was knocked out by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut. Coin-flip fight here and that I expect the line to be a Pick’em.
Grant Dawson vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 146
Featherweights Grant Dawson and Julian Erosa will even fulfill at UFC Fight Night 146. MyMMANews.com broke the information. Dawson (12-1) is eventually making his UFC debut after a USADA case kept him on the sidelines. Prior to his suspension, he had won on the Contender Series to find a UFC deal. Erosa (22-6) is 0-2 at the UFC and was knocked out by Devonte Smith in his final outing. This looks like a scenario to fade Erosa in and accept Dawson for the triumph.
John Makdessi vs. Nasrat Haqparast, UFC Fght Night 148
An Enjoyable struggle between lightweights John Makdessi and Nasrat Haqparast is set for UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena at Nashville, Tennessee. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 at the UFC and is coming from back-to-back decision wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Haqparast (10-2) is 2-1 at the UFC and won”Fight of the Night” because of his decision win over Thibault Gouti. I believe Makdessi is a superb challenge for Haqparast at this stage of his career, but since he is just 23 you need to prefer Haqparast here.
Bobby Moffett vs. Bryce Mitchell, UFC Fight Night 148
Also, featherweights Bobby Moffett and Bryce Mitchell will battle at UFC Fight Night 148. Tom Taylor of BJPenn.com broke the information. Moffett (14-3) defeated Chas Skelly via contentious technical submission in his UFC debut. Mitchell (10-0) defeated Tyler Diamond in his own Octagon debut. This should be a competitive struggle, but my first lean is Moffett.
Ross Pearson vs. Desmond Green, UFC on ESPN 2 Lightweights Ross Pearson and Desmond Green will meet at UFC on ESPN 2, which takes place March 30 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pearson (20-15, 1 NC) is currently 12-12, 1 NC at the UFC and has dropped five of the last six fights overall. Green (21-8) is only 2-3 in the UFC himself. This is at the very least a struggle Pearson could be aggressive in, but I still have to prefer Green.
Sheymon Moraes vs. Sodiq Yusuff, UFC on ESPN 2 As well, an intriguing featherweight bout between Sheymon Moraes and Sodiq Yusuff has been added to UFC on ESPN 2. Rodney James had the information. Moraes (11-2) is currently 2-1 in the UFC and is coming off of an excellent win over Julio Arce. Yusuff (8-1) pumped out Suman Mokhtarian in his UFC debut. Moraes is a really solid fighter with more expertise, but it’s hard to bet against the superb prospect Yusuff now, and I expect him to be favored.
