The UFC continued to announce a number of new bouts for its forthcoming cards. Here are the brand new matchups, along with my initial thoughts on these.
David Teymur vs. Charles Oliveira, UFC Fight Night 144
Lightweights David Teymur and Charles Oliveira will struggle at UFC Fight Night 144, occurring February 2 at Centro de Forma????o Ol??mpica do Nordeste in Fortaleza, Brazil. Teymur (8-1) is 5-0 at the UFC and in his final outing defeated Nik Lentz. He has had trouble getting opponents to fight himas he is very dangerous but not ranked from the top-15. Oliveira (25-8, 1 NC) is 13-8, 1 NC from the UFC and is coming from a three-fight win streak, including a submission win over Jim Miller in his final fight. As good as Oliveira is on the floor, this resembles the type of matchup that’s kryptonite for him against a much-better striker in Teymur who also has exceptional takedown defense. For that reason, I’d actually favor Teymur in this fight.
Junior Albini vs. Jairzinho Rozenstruik, UFC Fight Night 144
Due to an injury to Dmitry Sosnovskiy, Junior Albini will take on short-notice replacement Jarizinho Rozenstruik at UFC Fight Night 144. DWT broke the information. Albini (14-4) is 1-2 in the UFC and lost to Aleksiy Oleinik via Ezekiel choke in his last struggle. Rozenstruik (6-0) has won five of his battles with strikes except for his one appearance at RIZIN, which he won a decision in. Most bettors will seem to fade Albini, however it’s hard to say if this is the right place to fade him in as Rozenstruik is very unproven against a decent degree of competition.
Rani Yahya vs. Ricky Simon, UFC 234
Bantamweights Rani Yahya and Ricky Simon are set to battle UFC 234, occurring February 10 at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne, Australia. Combate broke the news. Yahya (26-9, 1 NC) is currently 11-3, 1 NC from the UFC and has won seven of the last eight battles complete. He is a very underrated fighter and with a win here in case land a top-10 opponent. Simon (14-1) is currently 2-0 in the UFC and is riding a seven-fight win streak in general. Yahya has all of the experience but Simon has plenty of upside down and I would rather go with the younger fighter inside this spot.
Sam Alvey vs. Gadzhimurad Antigulov, UFC Fight Night 145
Light heavyweight actions between Sam Alvey and Gadzhimurad Antigulov will happen at UFC Fight Night 145, on February 23 in O2 Stadium in Prague, Czech Republic. Igor Lazorin broke the news. Alvey (33-11, 1 NC) is 10-6 at the UFC and has been most recently knocked out by Antonio Rogerio Nogueria. Antigulov (20-5) is 2-1 in the UFC but suffered a KO loss to Ion Cutelaba in his final fight. This should be a true banger of a fight but I have to fade Alvey in this area and go with Antigulov, although I’m expecting a close line either way.
Cezar Ferreira vs. Tom Breese, UFC Fight Night 147
Because of an injury to Alessio di Chirico, Cezar Ferreira has awakened to combat Tom Breese at UFC Fight Night 147, which takes place March 16 in the O2 Arena in London, England. Ferreira (13-7) is 9-5 overall in the UFC but is coming off of a disappointing decision loss to Ian Heinisch. Breese (11-1) is 4-1 in the UFC and smashed Dan Kelly in his UFC middleweight debut. Ferreira is a good fighter but I don’t trust his chin against a strong puncher like Breese, that I expect to be heavily favored here in his home nation.
