The UFC has officially announced its forthcoming event in The Windy City. UFC 238 takes place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois, along with the first three bouts for the card have already been shown, such as the women’s flyweight title fight. My thoughts about the brand new spells — all of women’s struggles — are below.
Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jessica Eye UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko will make her first title defense when she takes on Jessica Eye in UFC 238. Though not official, it is likely this bout will function as the co-main occasion of the pay-per-view.
Shevchenko (16-3) is 5-2 at the UFC and won the empty flyweight title with a five-round unanimous decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her final outing. She’s 2-0 as a flyweight in the UFC, and her only two losses in the Octagon came against dual champ Amanda Nunes. Eye (14-6, 1 NC) is currently 4-5, 1 NC total from the UFC and is 3-0 considering moving down to the flyweight division. However, her three wins at 125lbs were all very close decisions, and Shevchenko is a massive step up in contest from who Eye has been battling.
Start looking for the champ Shevchenko to open as a monster favourite here as she looks to receive her first name defense under her belt and start to construct her legacy in the game.
Katlyn Chookagian vs. Joanne Calderwood, UFC 238
Flyweight contenders Katlyn Chookagian and Joanne Calderwood are also set to meet at UFC 238. If there’s an injury to somebody in the most important event, it’s possible either of these fighters might be called up to fight for the title.
Chookagian (11-2) is 4-2 overall in the UFC and most recently dropped a split decision to Eye in UFC 231. Calderwood (13-3) is 5-2 in the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back wins over Ariane Lipski and Kalindra Faria since moving upward to flyweight.
Enrolling in weight looks like it had been the best choice of Calderwood’s livelihood as she seems rejuvenated in her new weight class. Chookagian is a good fighter, but she lacks the finishing ability that Calderwood has. The gambling line ought to be fairly close, but I would favor Calderwood here.
Tatiana Suarez vs. Nina Ansaroff, UFC 238
Top women’s strawweight contenders Tatiana Suarez and Nina Ansaroff will square off UFC 238 using a possible title shot at stake.
Suarez (7-0) won The Ultimate Fighter 23 and is a perfect 4-0 in the UFC such as a gigantic TKO win over Carla Esparza in her final outing that declared herself as a legitimate title contender at 115lbs. Ansaroff (10-5) is 4-2 at the UFC and is now riding a four-fight win streak using a breakthrough decision win over Claudia Gadelha in her last struggle.
This is a huge matchup between two of the hottest strawweights around Earth, and the winner should be next in line to resist the victory of UFC 237’s Rose Namajunas vs. Jessica Andrade. Though I adore what Ansaroff was performing recently, you simply need to go for the upside and accept Suarez in this fight. Like she always seems like, I anticipate Suarez to be a big favorite to win this battle.
