A number of new UFC bouts are shown for upcoming fight cards, and I’ll give my thoughts on them in today’s MMA odds and ends.
Damir Hadzovic vs. Marco Polo Reyes, UFC Fight Night 145
Lightweights Damir Hadzovic and Marco Polo Reyes are put to fight at UFC Fight Night 145, taking place February 23 at The O2 Arena in Prague, Czech Republic. Hadzovoc (12-2) is 2-2 at the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Nick Hein. Reyes (8-4) is 4-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a KO win over Matt Frevola. Another fascinating booking here from the UFC involving two fighters on the upswing. I tend to lean Reyes simply because we have seen more variety in their own ability to complete a struggle, but it is definitely close.
Gian Villante vs. Michal Oleksiejczuk, UFC Fight Night 145
Light heavyweights Gian Villante and Michal Oleksiejczuk may also meet at UFC Fight Night 145. Villante (17-10) is 7-7 from the UFC and defeated Ed Herman by split decision in his final struggle. Oleksiejczuk (12-2, 1 NC) fought to a No Contest against Khalil Rountree in his UFC debut after being suspended for PEDs. Originally he had won the battle by decision and showed off several solid wrestling laps from the struggle. In spite of the PED issues, I would still have to prefer Oleksiejczuk here since I anticipate most bettors will attempt to fade Villante.
Alejandro Perez vs. Song Yadong, UFC 235
A fascinating bantamweight bout between prospects Alejandro Perez and Song Yadong is set for UFC 235, taking place March 2 at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Perez (21-6-1) is 7-1-1 in the UFC and is now on a seven-fight unbeaten streak that includes a decision win over Eddie Wineland in his last outing. Yadong (13-3, two NC) is 3-0 so much in the UFC and in only 21 is among the top young fighters in the division. This is a good fight, and the two men have bright futures in the game. But based on all of the hype I’d expect Yadong to be a small favorite here at opening.
Maryna Moroz vs. Sabina Mazo, UFC on ESPN 2 Women’s strawweights Maryna Moroz and Sabina Mazo will fulfill at UFC on ESPN, which takes place March 30 in Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Moroz (8-3) is 3-3 at the UFC and also lost a decision to Angela Hill in her final bout. Mazo (6-0) is creating her UFC debut and at only 21 is one of the youngest fighters in the division. Though Moroz has more expertise in the Octagon, Mazo is a super prospect and I would expect her to be the favorite here.
Paul Craig vs. Kennedy Nzechukwu, UFC on ESPN two And finally, light heavyweights Paul Craig and Kennedy Nzechukwu will fulfill UFC on ESPN 2. Craig (10-3) is 2-3 in the UFC and was submitted by Jim Crute in his last outing. Nzechukwu (6-0) is making his UFC debut after a powerful TKO win over the Contender Series. Anytime you can fade Craig you have to do it, and I expect Nzechukwu to be a massive popular here as a consequence of that.
