A couple new bouts have been reserved for upcoming UFC Fight Night cards. Below are the bouts, together with my first thoughts on them.
UFC Fight Night 152 vs. Charles Jourdain, desmond Green Desmond Green has gotten his wish. The lightweight will contend in his hometown of Rochester, New York when he meets beginner Charles Jourdain at UFC Fight Night 152, occurring May 18 at Blue Cross Arena. RDS broke the news.
Green (22-8) is only 3-3 overall from the UFC but is coming off of possibly the biggest win of his career, a first-round TKO win over Ross Pearson which delivered the British veteran packaging into retirement. Green said he wanted to fight in Rochester so awful he would struggle at no cost, and he will get his wish, only he will get paid when he chooses on Jourdain, who’s making his UFC debut. Jourdain (9-1) has been the lightweight champion from the TKO promotion in Quebec and is coming off of four straight finishes. Just 23 years old,»Air» Jourdain is one of the best prospects in 155lbs and this is a superb signing for the UFC.
Having said this, Jourdain will be facing a difficult competitor here in Green, who has shown he can grind his opponents out and also knock him out. I would give the edge to green according to his UFC encounter, though Jourdain could be a live dog.
Devin Clark vs. Darko Stosic, UFC Fight Night 153
After his light heavyweight matchup against Ivan Shtyrkov at last weekend’s UFC St. Petersburg event was scrapped last minute, Devin Clark has been quickly rebooked and he’ll fight high prospect Darko Stosic at UFC Fight Night 153, occurring June 1 in 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’s been a disappointment from the UFC and it seems like that the matchmakers are down . Stosic (13-3) is among the top prospects in 205lbs and picked up a vicious TKO win over Jeremy Kimball in his UFC debut up his win streak to eight straight fights.
It sure looks like the UFC is using Clark as a gatekeeper at this point of his profession, and Stosic ought to be a hefty favorite to get the win in this struggle.
Kevin Holland vs. Alessio Di Chirico, UFC Fight Night 154
Middleweights Kevin Holland and Alessio Di Chirico are set to battle 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 currently 1-2 at the UFC after being signed following a successful stint on the Contender Series. After dropping a choice to Thiago Santos in his UFC debut, he has 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 really do expect Holland to be favored, Di Chirico is a solid fighter and should not be counted out of the one.
