UFC WICHITA, UFC NASHVILLE AND UFC PHILADELPHIA GET NEW BOUTS

Posted June 18, 2019

A number of new UFC bouts have been added to three upcoming fight cards. Here are the bouts, together with my first ideas on them.
Alex White vs. Dan Moret, UFC Fight Night 146
Lightweights Alex White and Dan Moret are set to battle UFC Fight Night 146, taking place March 9 at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas. Nolan King broke the news. White (12-5) is 3-5 from the UFC and is coming from a submission loss to Jim Miller. Moret (13-4) was pumped out by Gilbert Burns in his UFC debut. Coin-flip battle here and I expect the line to be a Pick’em.
Grant Dawson vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 146
Featherweights Grant Dawson and Julian Erosa may also meet at UFC Fight Night 146. MyMMANews.com broke the information. Dawson (12-1) is eventually making his UFC debut following a USADA case kept him on the sidelines. Prior to his suspension, he’d won about the Contender Series to get a UFC bargain. Erosa (22-6) is 0-2 in the UFC and was pumped out by Devonte Smith in his final outing. This looks like a scenario to fade Erosa in and accept Dawson for the win.
John Makdessi vs. Nasrat Haqparast, UFC Fght Night 148
An Enjoyable struggle between lightweights John Makdessi and Nasrat Haqparast is place for UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena at Nashville, Tennessee. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 at the UFC and is coming from back-to-back decision wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Haqparast (10-2) is 2-1 in the UFC and won”Battle of the Night” for his decision win over Thibault Gouti. I believe Makdessi is a great challenge for Haqparast at this stage of his career, but since he’s just 23 you need to prefer Haqparast here.
Bobby Moffett vs. Bryce Mitchell, UFC Fight Night 148
Also, 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 submission within his UFC debut. Mitchell (10-0) defeated Tyler Diamond in his Octagon debut. This ought to be a competitive fight, but my initial lean is Moffett.
Ross Pearson vs. Desmond Green, UFC on ESPN 2 Lightweights Ross Pearson and Desmond Green will meet at UFC on ESPN two, which takes place March 30 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Pearson (20-15, 1 NC) is currently 12-12, 1 NC in 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 struggle Pearson could be aggressive in, however I still have to prefer Green.
Sheymon Moraes vs. Sodiq Yusuff, UFC on ESPN two At the same time, an interesting featherweight bout between Sheymon Moraes and Sodiq Yusuff was added to UFC on ESPN 2. Rodney James had the information. Moraes (11-2) is 2-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a great win over Julio Arce. Yusuff (8-1) pumped out Suman Mokhtarian in his UFC debut. Moraes is a really solid fighter with much more experience, but it is hard to bet against the superb prospect Yusuff now, and that I expect him to be preferred.
