A number of new UFC bouts are added to three forthcoming fight cards. Here are the bouts, together with my initial 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 off of a submission reduction to Jim Miller. Moret (13-4) was pumped out by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut. Coin-flip fight here and that I expect the line to be a Select’em.
Grant Dawson vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 146
Featherweights Grant Dawson and Julian Erosa will also fulfill at UFC Fight Night 146. MyMMANews.com broke the news. Dawson (12-1) is finally making his UFC debut after a USADA case kept him on the sidelines. Before his suspension, he had won on the Contender Series to find a UFC bargain. Erosa (22-6) is 0-2 in the UFC and was pumped out by Devonte Smith in his final outing. This looks like a situation to fade Erosa in and accept Dawson for the win.
John Makdessi vs. Nasrat Haqparast, UFC Fght Night 148
An Enjoyable fight between lightweights John Makdessi and Nasrat Haqparast is place for UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena at Nashville, Tennessee. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 in the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back decision 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 believe Makdessi is a superb challenge for Haqparast at this stage of his profession, but given that he’s just 23 you have to favor Haqparast here.
Bobby Moffett vs. Bryce Mitchell, UFC Fight Night 148
Additionally, featherweights Bobby Moffett and Bryce Mitchell will battle at UFC Fight Night 148. Tom Taylor of all 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 initial lean is Moffett.
Ross Pearson vs. Desmond Green, UFC on ESPN 2 Lightweights Ross Pearson and Desmond Green will meet UFC on ESPN two, which takes place March 30 in Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pearson (20-15, 1 NC) is 12-12, 1 NC in the UFC and has dropped five of his 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 prefer Green.
Sheymon Moraes vs. Sodiq Yusuff, UFC on ESPN 2 At the same time, an intriguing featherweight bout between Sheymon Moraes and Sodiq Yusuff was added to UFC on ESPN 2. Rodney James had the information. Moraes (11-2) is 2-1 at the UFC and is coming off of an excellent win over Julio Arce. Yusuff (8-1) knocked out Suman Mokhtarian in his UFC debut. Moraes is a very solid fighter with more experience, but it’s hard to bet against the superb prospect Yusuff at this point, and I expect him to be preferred.
