MATCHES TO MAKE FOLLOWING UFC FIGHT NIGHT 111
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional history Saturday (June 17, 2017) using UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was a fun night of scraps which found half of 12 bouts ending inside the space, and with this action now in our rear view, let’s take a look at some potential matchups featuring some of the competitors from the evening…
Bethe Correia vs. Liz Carmouche
Correia endured a third-round knockout against Holly Holm this past weekend and will be seeking to go back to the win column her next time out. I think that a matchup which makes sense for her next excursion within the Octagon will be one against fellow former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger Liz Carmouche. It would be quite a rare“winner versus loser“ matchup from the branch, but it is a pairing I believe makes a great deal of sense. I think this prospective women’s 135-pound competition are a fantastic fit for the primary card to October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
Colby Covington vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Covington and Dos Anjos were each successful in their principal card charms at UFC Fight Night 111, with Covington carrying a unanimous-decision win over Dong Hyun Kim and dos Anjos earning a nod nod against former Strikeforce welterweight champion Tarec Saffiedine. It was a strong welterweight introduction for dos Anjos, also that I think Covington would be a good opponent for his next excursion, as the two of them are looking to break into the Top 15 in 170 lbs. This welterweight contest would be a wonderful match for the card that is preliminary to the UFC 215 at Seattle of August.
„Stun Gun“ Dong Hyun Kim vs. Alan Jouban
This welterweight showdown that is potential has possibility of creating great fireworks. It might also prove to be a lackluster struggle if Kim employs a grappling-heavy game plan and finds success with it. I am not sure he will though, as I could watch Jouban maintaining the fight standing. Jouban did show improved takedown defense in his final outing against Gunnar Nelson despite dropping via second-round guillotine-choke submission after being dropped with a punch to the brow. Kim is coming from a unanimous-decision loss to Covington, also such as Jouban, he will be looking to bounce back into the win column his second time out. I believe this struggle would be a fit for the UFC Fight Night in Japan of September.
