UFC WICHITA, UFC NASHVILLE AND UFC PHILADELPHIA GET NEW BOUTS
A number of new UFC bouts are added to three upcoming fight cards. Here are the bouts, together with my first ideas on them.
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 at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Nolan King broke the news. White (12-5) is 3-5 from the UFC and is coming from a submission loss to Jim Miller. Moret (13-4) was pumped out by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut. Coin-flip battle here and I expect the line to be a Pick’em.
Grant Dawson vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 146
Featherweights Grant Dawson and Julian Erosa may even meet at UFC Fight Night 146. MyMMANews.com broke the information. Dawson (12-1) is eventually making his UFC debut following a USADA case kept him on the sidelines. Before his suspension, he’d won on the Contender Series to get a UFC deal. Erosa (22-6) is 0-2 in the UFC and was knocked out by Devonte Smith in his last outing. This looks like a scenario to fade Erosa in and take Dawson for the triumph.
John Makdessi vs. Nasrat Haqparast, UFC Fght Night 148
A fun fight between lightweights John Makdessi and Nasrat Haqparast is place for UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 in the UFC and is coming from back-to-back choice wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Haqparast (10-2) is 2-1 in the UFC and won”Fight of the Night” because of his decision win over Thibault Gouti. I think Makdessi is a superb challenge for Haqparast at this point of his career, but given that 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 news. Moffett (14-3) defeated Chas Skelly via contentious technical enhancement in his UFC debut. Mitchell (10-0) defeated Tyler Diamond within his Octagon debut. This should be a competitive struggle, but my initial lean is Moffett.
Ross Pearson vs. Desmond Green, UFC on ESPN two Lightweights Ross Pearson and Desmond Green will meet at UFC on ESPN 2, which takes place March 30 in Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pearson (20-15, 1 NC) is 12-12, 1 NC at the UFC and has lost five of the last six fights overall. Green (21-8) is just 2-3 from the UFC himself. This is at the very least a fight Pearson could be competitive in, however I still have to favor Green.
Sheymon Moraes vs. Sodiq Yusuff, UFC on ESPN 2 As well, an interesting featherweight bout between Sheymon Moraes and Sodiq Yusuff was added to UFC on ESPN 2. Rodney James had the news. Moraes (11-2) is 2-1 in the UFC and is coming from a great win over Julio Arce. Yusuff (8-1) pumped out Suman Mokhtarian in his UFC debut. Moraes is a very solid fighter with more expertise, but it is difficult to bet against the superb prospect Yusuff at this point, and that I expect him to be preferred.
