MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR TUESDAY: UPCOMING UFC CARD UPDATES

A pair of upcoming fight cards have received upgrades to them, and I will give my thoughts on the newest bouts in today’s MMA odds and ends.
Chance Rencountre vs. Kyle Stewart, UFC on ESPN+ 1 (UFC Fight Night 143)
We hopefully have the last fight card upgrade for the UFC on ESPN+ one card this weekend, taking place Saturday at Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York. Chance Rencountre eventually has his competitor as he will take on Octagon newcomer Kyle Stewart at a lightweight bout on the card. ESPN first broke news. Rencountre’s unique opponent Randy Brown was pulled in the card because of a rumored USADA flagging, while Dwight Grant was not cleared to fight due to an eye injury. Rencountre (12-3) lost a decision to Belal Muhammad in his UFC debut but’d won four consecutive bouts before it. Stewart (11-1) has just lost once in his profession, to top LFA potential James Nakashima, and in his last bout defeated Braden Smith by choice. I think most will look to fade Rencountre inside this spot, and that I expect Stewart to actually be a small favorite here despite making his UFC debut on short notice.
Lando Vannata vs. Marcos Rosa, UFC 234
Lightweight Lando Vannata recently reupped a new four-fight contract with the UFC, and that he returns to fight Octagon newcomer Marcos Rosa in UFC 234, occurring February 10 at Rod Laver Arena at Melbourne, Australia. ESPN broke the news. Vannata (9-3-2) only has a 1-3-2 record from the UFC, but almost every one of his battles has been exciting that is the reason why the UFC made a decision to bring him back. He’s coming from a draw against Matt Frevola, also has not really won a fight since a KO win over John Makdessi at December 2016. Rosa (6-4) is a veteran of the Brazilian regional circuit also has actually won three of the final four bouts by stoppage. Ultimately it seems like the UFC has reserved Vannata a winnable fight, and I expect him to become quite a big favorite to receive his hands raised.
Dong Hyun Ma vs. Devonte Smith, UFC 234
And lastly, Dong Hyun Ma (formerly called”another” Dong Yun Kim) will return at UFC 234 when he chooses on Devonte Smith in what should be an action-packed lightweight bout. Ma (16-8-3) is 3-2 overall from the UFC and is now riding a three-fight win series including a remarkable TKO win over Takanori Gomi and a decision win over Damien Brown. Smith (9-1) is 1-0 so far in the UFC with a ridiculous KO win over Julian Erosa. He has won his last five fights, and all eight of his ace wins have come by stoppage, with his lone defeat a TKO loss to John Gunther. I very much enjoy watching Ma battle and I have to provide the UFC matchmakers props for booking what is sure to be an exciting fight. But I’m very high on Smith and I believe he’s likely to come back in here and end Ma’s win streak. Look for Smith to be the favorite from the sportsbooks after his flashy UFC debut.
