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) with UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was an entertaining night of scraps which saw half of 12 bouts end within the space, and with this activity now in our rear perspective, let us look at some possible matchups featuring a few of the opponents from the evening…
Bethe Correia vs. Liz Carmouche
Correia endured a third-round knockout against Holly Holm this past weekend and will be looking to return to the win column her out time. I believe that a matchup which is logical for her next outing 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 failure“ matchup from the division, but it is a pairing I think makes a great deal of sense. I believe 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, together with Covington carrying a unanimous-decision triumph over Dong Hyun Kim and dos Anjos making a unanimous nod against former Strikeforce welterweight champion Tarec Saffiedine. It was a solid welterweight introduction for dos Anjos, and I think Covington are a good opponent for his next excursion, as both of them are seeking to break into the Top 15 at 170 pounds. This possible welterweight competition would be a wonderful match for the card that is preliminary to the UFC 215 in Seattle of August.
„Stun Gun“ Dong Hyun Kim vs. Alan Jouban
This welterweight showdown has of producing fireworks that are great potential. It could also prove to be a lackluster struggle if Kim employs a grappling-heavy game program and finds success with it. I’m not sure he will though, as I could watch Jouban keeping the fight standing. Jouban did show enhanced takedown defense in his last outing against Gunnar Nelson despite dropping via second-round guillotine-choke submission after being dropped with a punch to the forehead. Kim is coming from a unanimous-decision reduction to Covington, and such as Jouban, he’ll be looking to bounce back into the win column his second time out. I think this struggle would be a solid match for the UFC Fight Night in Japan of September.
