A number of new UFC bouts are added to three upcoming fight cards. Here are the bouts, along with my first ideas on these.
Alex White vs. Dan Moret, UFC Fight Night 146
Lightweights Alex White and Dan Moret are set to battle UFC Fight Night 146, occurring March 9 at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Nolan King broke the information. White (12-5) is 3-5 in the UFC and is coming from a submission reduction to Jim Miller. Moret (13-4) was knocked out by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut. Coin-flip battle here and I expect the line for a Pick’em.
Grant Dawson vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 146
Featherweights Grant Dawson and Julian Erosa may also fulfill at UFC Fight Night 146. MyMMANews.com broke the information. Dawson (12-1) is finally making his UFC debut following a USADA case kept him on the sidelines. Prior to his suspension, he’d won on the Contender Series to get a UFC deal. Erosa (22-6) is 0-2 at the UFC and has been pumped out by Devonte Smith in his final outing. This looks like a scenario to fade Erosa in and take Dawson for the win.
John Makdessi vs. Nasrat Haqparast, UFC Fght Night 148
A fun fight between lightweights John Makdessi and Nasrat Haqparast is set for UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 at the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back choice wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Haqparast (10-2) is 2-1 at 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 is only 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 news. Moffett (14-3) defeated Chas Skelly via contentious technical enhancement in his UFC debut. Mitchell (10-0) defeated Tyler Diamond in his own Octagon debut. This ought to be a competitive fight, but my first lean is Moffett.
Ross Pearson vs. Desmond Green, UFC on ESPN 2 Lightweights Ross Pearson and Desmond Green will meet 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 dropped five of the last six fights overall. Green (21-8) is just 2-3 in the UFC himself. This is at the very least a fight Pearson could be aggressive 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 has been added to UFC on ESPN 2. Rodney James had the news. Moraes (11-2) is 2-1 at the UFC and is coming from an excellent win over Julio Arce. Yusuff (8-1) pumped out Suman Mokhtarian in his UFC debut. Moraes is a really solid fighter with much more expertise, but it is difficult to bet against the superb prospect Yusuff now, and I expect him to be preferred.
