A few new bouts are booked for upcoming UFC Fight Night cards. Below are the bouts, along with my first thoughts on these.
UFC Fight Night 152 vs. Charles Jourdain, desmond Green Desmond Green has gotten his wish. The lightweight will compete in his hometown of Rochester, New York when he meets beginner Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 152, occurring May 18 at Blue Cross Arena. The information broke.
Green (22-8) is just 3-3 overall in the UFC but is coming off of possibly the biggest win of his career, a first-round TKO win over Ross Pearson which sent the British veteran packing into retirement. Green said he wanted to fight in Rochester so awful that he would fight for free, and he’ll get his desire, only he will get paid when he takes on Jourdain, who’s making his UFC debut. Jourdain (9-1) was the lightweight winner in the TKO promotion in Quebec and is coming off of four straight endings. Just 23 years old,”Air” Jourdain is among the best prospects in 155lbs and this is a great signing for the UFC.
Having said this, Jourdain will probably be facing a difficult competitor here in Green, who has proven he can grind out his enemies and knock him out. I would give the advantage to green based on his UFC experience, though Jourdain may be a live dog.
Devin Clark vs. Darko Stosic, UFC Fight Night 153
After his light heavyweight matchup against Ivan Shtyrkov at last weekend’s UFC St. Petersburg occasion was scrapped last minute, Devin Clark was quickly rebooked and he’ll fight top prospect Darko Stosic in UFC Fight Night 153, taking place June 1 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. Clark himself broke the news through Instagram.
Clark (9-3) is 3-3 at the UFC and is coming off of a TKO loss to Aleksandar Rakic. Overall he’s been a disappointment in the UFC and it seems like the matchmakers are down on him. Stosic (13-3) is among the top prospects in 205lbs and picked up a vicious TKO win over Jeremy Kimball in his UFC debut up his win streak to eight straight fights.
It sure looks like that the UFC is using Clark as a gatekeeper at this point of his profession, and Stosic ought to be quite a hefty favored to get the win in this struggle.
Kevin Holland vs. Alessio Di Chirico, UFC Fight Night 154
Middleweights Kevin Holland and Alessio Di Chirico are set to battle at UFC Fight Night 154, which takes place June 22 in Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Sherdog broke the information.
Holland (14-4) is currently 1-2 at the UFC after being signed following a successful stint on the Contender Series. After dropping a choice to Thiago Santos in his UFC debut, he has picked up back-to-back wins over Gerald Meerschaert and John Phillips. Di Chirico (12-2) is 3-2 at the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back wins over Oluwale Bamgbose and Julian Marquez.
This should be a really competitive fight, and while I do expect Holland to be preferred, Di Chirico is a good fighter and should not be counted from the one.
