A few new bouts are booked for upcoming UFC Fight Night cards. Below are the bouts, together with my ideas on these.
Desmond Green vs. Charles Jourdain, UFC Fight Night 152 Desmond Green has gotten his wish. The lightweight will contend in his hometown of Rochester, New York when he meets newcomer Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 152, taking place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena. The information broke.
Green (22-8) is just 3-3 overall in the UFC but is coming from arguably the biggest win of his career, a first-round TKO win over Ross Pearson which sent the British veteran packaging into retirement. Green said he wanted to struggle in Rochester so bad that he would fight for free, and he will get his desire, just he will get paid when he chooses on Jourdain, who is making his UFC debut. Jourdain (9-1) has been the lightweight winner in the TKO advertising in Quebec and is coming off of four straight endings. Only 23 years old,»Air» Jourdain is one of the best prospects at 155lbs and this is a great signing for the UFC.
Having said this, Jourdain will probably be facing a tough opponent here in Green, who’s shown he can grind out his enemies and also knock him out. I’d give the advantage to green based on his UFC encounter, although Jourdain may be a live dog.
Devin Clark vs. Darko Stosic, UFC Fight Night 153
Following his light heavyweight matchup against Ivan Shtyrkov at last weekend’s UFC St. Petersburg occasion was scrapped last minute, Devin Clark has been quickly rebooked and he will fight high prospect Darko Stosic at UFC Fight Night 153, occurring June 1 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden. Clark himself broke the news via Instagram.
Clark (9-3) is 3-3 in the UFC and is coming from a TKO loss to Aleksandar Rakic. Overall he has been a disappointment from the UFC and it seems like the matchmakers are down on him. Stosic (13-3) is among the top prospects in 205lbs and picked up a barbarous TKO win over Jeremy Kimball in his UFC debut up his win streak to nine straight fights.
It sure looks like the UFC is using Clark as a gatekeeper at this point of his profession, and Stosic should be a hefty favorite to get the win in this fight.
Kevin Holland vs. Alessio Di Chirico, UFC Fight Night 154
Middleweights Kevin Holland and Alessio Di Chirico are set to clash at UFC Fight Night 154, which takes place June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Sherdog broke the information.
Holland (14-4) is 1-2 at the UFC after being signed after a successful stint on the Contender Series. After dropping a choice to Thiago Santos in his UFC debut, he’s picked up back-to-back wins over Gerald Meerschaert and John Phillips. Di Chirico (12-2) is 3-2 in the UFC and is coming from back-to-back wins over Oluwale Bamgbose and Julian Marquez.
This should be a very competitive struggle, and while I do anticipate Holland to be favored, Di Chirico is a solid fighter and should not be counted from the one.
