MATCHES TO MAKE FOLLOWING UFC FIGHT NIGHT 111
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional history last Saturday (June 17, 2017) using UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was an entertaining night of bits which found half of 12 bouts ending within the space, and with this activity today in our rear view, let’s take a look at some potential matchups featuring a few of the opponents from the evening…
Bethe Correia vs. Liz Carmouche
Correia suffered a third-round knockout against Holly Holm this past weekend and will be looking to return to the win column her next time out. I believe that a matchup which makes sense for her next excursion inside 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 in the division, but it is a pairing I think makes a lot of sense. I believe this potential women’s 135-pound competition are a good 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 own principal card charms at UFC Fight Night 111, with Covington taking 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 believe Covington are a fantastic competitor for his next outing, as both of them are seeking to break into the Top 15 at 170 pounds. This welterweight contest would be a wonderful fit for the card to August’s UFC 215 at Seattle.
„Stun Gun“ Dong Hyun Kim vs. Alan Jouban
This welterweight showdown that is potential has of producing fireworks that are great possibility. It might also turn out to be a lackluster fight if Kim uses a grappling-heavy game plan and finds success with it. I’m not sure he will though, as I could see Jouban maintaining the fight position. Jouban did show improved takedown defense in his final outing against Gunnar Nelson despite dropping via second-round guillotine-choke entry after being dropped using a punch to the forehead. Kim is coming off a unanimous-decision reduction to Covington, also such as Jouban, he will want to bounce back into the win column his second time out. I believe this struggle would be a solid fit for September’s UFC Fight Night in Japan.
