A couple new bouts are reserved for upcoming UFC Fight Night cards. Below are the bouts, along with my ideas 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 newcomer Charles Jourdain in UFC Fight Night 152, taking place May 18 at Blue Cross Arena. The news broke.
Green (22-8) is only 3-3 overall in the UFC but is coming off of arguably 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 bad he would fight for free, and he’ll get his wish, just he will get paid when he chooses on Jourdain, who’s making his UFC debut. Jourdain (9-1) was the lightweight champion from the TKO promotion in Quebec and is coming from four straight finishes. Only 23 years old,»Air» Jourdain is among the best prospects at 155lbs and this is a great signing for the UFC.
Having said that, Jourdain will probably be facing a difficult opponent here in Green, who has shown he can grind out his enemies and also knock him out. I would give the advantage to green according to his UFC experience, 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 occasion was scrapped last minute, Devin Clark was quickly rebooked and he’ll fight top prospect Darko Stosic in UFC Fight Night 153, taking place 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 off of a TKO loss to Aleksandar Rakic. Overall he has been a disappointment from the UFC and it seems like the matchmakers are down . Stosic (13-3) is among the best prospects at 205lbs and picked up a barbarous TKO win over Jeremy Kimball in his UFC debut to up his win streak to eight consecutive fights.
It sure looks like the UFC is using Clark as a gatekeeper at this point of his profession, and Stosic should be quite a hefty favored 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 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 following 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 at 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 expect Holland to be favored, Di Chirico is a solid fighter and shouldn’t be counted from the one.
