Articles

Joanne Calderwood In Dire Need Of A Win

Seventh-ranked flyweight Joanne Calderwood (14-5) has lost two of her last three bouts and needs a big win against the sixth-ranked Jessica Eye on Saturday to stay near the top of the division. Instead of waiting for a title shot against the champion, Calderwood took a bout against Jessica Maia in August of last year. […]


Jessica Eye Can Find Herself In Title Talks With A Big Win

Sixth-ranked women's flyweight Jessica Eye (15-8) heads into a showdown with seventh-ranked Joanne Calderwood on Saturday, which could determine which fighter remains in the running for a shot at the championship. Part of the UFC since 2013, Eye has yet to earn UFC gold but has been in the title picture on many occasions. Typically […]


Matt Frevola Looking For Impressive Win Over Ottman Azaitar

Matt Frevola (8-1-1) will step into the Octagon on Saturday on the main card of UFC 257 with arguably his toughest opponent to date in Ottman Azaitar. After winning on the Contender Series in 2017, Frevola has gone 2-1-1 in the UFC, winning his last two fights. A three-fight winning streak is within his grasp, […]


Ottman Azaitar Looks To Continue His Knockout Ways

Looking to remain undefeated, Ottman Azaitar (13-0) enters the Octagon for the third time as he battles Matt Frevola on Saturday. Bulldozer has bulldozed through the competition, winning both of his UFC bouts by first-round knockout. Twelve of his 13 career bouts have come by finish, with nine of those being knockouts/TKO. DraftKings has Azaitar […]


Amanda Ribas Looks For Her Fifth Straight Win

Amanda Ribas (10-1) has looked amazing thus far in the UFC, going 4-0 with notable wins over Mackenzie Dern and Paige VanZant. Seven of her 10 career wins have come by the finish, with four of those by submission. Regardless of where the bout goes, Ribas can handle her own or even take over. Her […]


Marina Rodriguez Set To Open UFC 257 Against Fellow Brazilian

Marina Rodriguez (12-1-2) will open up the main card of UFC 257 on Saturday night against a tough opponent in Amanda Ribas. After a very solid 2019 that saw her go 2-0-1, Rodriguez dropped a very close split decision to Carla Esparza in 2020. Rodriguez has shown throughout her career that she's just a couple […]


Neil Magny Goes The Distance But Can't Pull Out The Victory

In what was by far the most important bout on the card as far as rankings are concerned, Neil Magny (24-8) was unable to pull out the win on Wednesday against Michael Chiesa, who was ranked one spot higher in the UFC's welterweight standings. Magny was unable to implement his game plan against a fighter […]


Michael Chiesa Scores Big Win In Dominant Showing

In a close-knit welterweight division, this main event will determine which man will get a catapult shot to a top-five standing. Michael Chiesa (17-4) obviously knew this stepping into Wednesday's main event with Neil Magny. Chiesa dominated the five rounds of action, taking the unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46.) Though Chiesa only netted 24 significant […]


Mounir Lazzez Unable To Capitalize Wednesday

Mounir Lazzez (10-2) got his first real taste of big-time UFC welterweight action on Wednesday, facing Brazilian veteran Warlley Alves. Bursting onto the scene at UFC Fight Night in July of last year, Lazzez won very impressively in his debut, showing off his amazing striking skills. In this matchup, he was just overpowered by Alves […]


Warlley Alves Impresses With Big TKO Victory

Warlley Alves (14-4) dominated with his kicks in Wednesday's co-main event. Just 2:35 into the first round is all Alves needed to rebound from his most recent defeat. Alves stepped in there with a difficult foe in the hometown favorite Mounir Lazzez, who was victorious in his UFC debut. Alves pounded the midsection with kicks, […]


Vinicius Moreira Suffers Huge Knockout Loss

After a successful Contender Series showing in August of 2018, Vinicius Moreira (9-5) has lost all four of his UFC bouts, and they've all come by knockout. Not only was he knocked out in the second round by opponent Ike Villanueva on Wednesday, but it was easily the knockout of the night. Statistically, though, Moreira […]


Ike Villanueva Lands The Knockout Of The Night

After losing his only two UFC bouts thus far, Ike Villanueva (17-11) landed the potential knockout of the night on Wednesday to show what got him into the UFC in the first place. The significant-strike count may have been the same for Villanueva and Vinicius Moreira (24), but Villanueva landed the one-shot knockout blow just […]


Roxanne Modafferi Not Strong Enough To Win Wednesday

Roxanne Modafferi (25-18) was unable to get into a groove at all on Wednesday against Viviane Araujo. Statistically, Modafferi was able to land 46 significant strikes (49 total strikes) but did not land any of her five takedown attempts. Regardless of where the fight took place, Araujo was able to maintain control of the veteran. […]


Viviane Araujo Earns The Night's Most Dominant Decision

Viviane Araujo (10-2) walked into Wednesday's matchup with veteran Roxanne Modafferi as a huge favorite and made good on that. Araujo took the dominant unanimous decision (26-30, 27-30, 27-30), dominating the fight wherever the battle went. Statistically, Araujo dominated as well, landing 86 significant strikes (100 total strikes) along with landing all four of her […]


Tyson Nam Takes The Decision Loss Wednesday

Tyson Nam (20-12-1) met a tough task in Matt Schnell on Wednesday in Abu Dhabi and was unable to get the finish or the nod from all three judges. Though Nam received a 29-28 score from one judge, the other two scored it the same but in favor of Schnell. With two knockouts in a […]


Matt Schnell Impresses And Takes The Win Wednesday

Matt Schnell (15-5) was able to rebound from a tough loss to earn the split decision over another good fighter in Tyson Nam on Wednesday. Louisiana's own looked faster than ever before, and his strikes landed crisply. He was able to avoid the big right hand of Nam, which was Nam's key to an early […]


Douglas Andrade Drops Decision Wednesday

Stepping into his 30th professional bout on Wednesday, Douglas Andrade (26-4) was unable to get the win against young and upcoming star Lerone Murphy. After 15 minutes of action, Andrade was unable to get the unanimous decision over his opponent. Statistically, Andrade kept the numbers rather close, landing 39 significant strikes (51 total strikes), also […]


Lerone Murphy Opens Up Wednesday's Main Card With A Win

Remaining undefeated, Lerone Murphy (10-0-1) utilized dynamic leg kicks to keep his opponent, Douglas Silva de Andrade, under control and take the unanimous-decision victory on Wednesday. In the 15 minutes of action, Murphy landed 48 significant strikes (60 total strikes) along with landing one of his four attempted takedowns. He did not need his takedown […]


Neil Magny Looks To Make Title Push In 2021

Neil Magny (24-7) can earn his fourth win in a row in Wednesday's main event. Magny is a cardio machine like his opponent, Michael Chiesa, and has won 17 of his 24 career wins by decision. Making the best of a tough 2020 for all fighters, Magny was able to compete three times, as opposed […]


Michael Chiesa Can Take Hold Of Division With A Win

Michael Chiesa (16-4) has looked rejuvenated since moving from the lightweight division up to the welterweight division. He is riding a three-fight winning streak over three veterans with a win total equaling 88. Known for his high-pace action and tough ground game, Chiesa has finished 12 of his 16 career wins by submission. A win […]


Mounir Lazzez Looking To Go 2-0 In The UFC

Mounir Lazzez (10-1) looked solid in his UFC debut, taking dangerous striker Abdul Razak Alhassan to a unanimous decision. Fighting on his home turf once again in Abu Dhabi, Lazzez has won eight of his 10 career professional bouts by knockout/TKO. Lazzez is the betting favorite, according to DraftKings, with a salary heading into Wednesday's […]


Warlley Alves In Need Of A Big Win

Warlley Alves (13-4) blew up on the UFC scene after competing on The Ultimate Fighter Brazil Season 3 in 2014. He went on a four-fight winning streak, including wins over Nordine Taleb and Colby Covington. Eleven of Alves' 13 career wins have come by finish, with seven of those by submission, including the win over […]


Vinicius Moreira Needs A Win Badly

Possibly in more dire straights than his opponent, Vinicius Moreira (9-4) has lost his three UFC bouts since a Contender Series submission victory in 2018. Not only has Moreira lost three in a row, but he has suffered first-round stoppages in all of his UFC bouts. The opposite of his opponent, Moreira has won the […]


Ike Villanueva In Dire Need Of A Win Wednesday

Ike Villanueva (16-11) has his back against the wall, losing his only two bouts in the UFC so far. Prior to entering the UFC and suffering his current two-fight losing streak, Villanueva won four fights in a row, all by first-round knockout. Thirteen of Villanueva's 16 career wins have come by knockout, showing he's always […]


Viviane Araujo Faces A Tough Veteran On Wednesday's Main Card

Viviane Araujo (9-2) defeated the flyweight veteran Montana De La Rosa her last time out in September of last year, rebounding from her first UFC loss against Jessica Eye in December of 2019. Seven of Araujo's nine career wins have come by finish, with four of those coming by submission. DraftKings has Vivi listed as […]


Roxanne Modafferi Trying To Start A Winning Streak

Roxanne Modafferi (25-17) has flipped-flopped wins and losses since joining the UFC in 2017. With a win Wednesday, Modafferi can start to build her first UFC winning streak after most recently defeating Andrea Lee in September of last year. The veteran does have some impressive UFC wins. In addition to defeating Lee, the Happy Warrior […]


Tyson Nam Looking For Third Straight Win

Tyson Nam (20-11-1) will look to string together a three-fight winning streak when he battles Matt Schnell in the mid-week matchup on Wednesday. After dropping his first two bouts after joining the UFC, Nam has looked impressive, winning his last two outings with knockouts/TKOs. Thirteen of his 20 career wins have come by finish, with […]


Matt Schnell Will Look To Rebound And Climb Flyweight Ladder

Louisiana's own Matt Schnell (14-5) will look to rebound after his first-round knockout at the hands of Alexandre Pantoja in December of 2019. Prior to the loss, Schnell was on a four-fight winning streak, which included two first-round submissions. Eleven of Schnell's 14 career professional wins have come by finish, with nine of those coming […]


Douglas Andrade Looks To Win Back-To-Back Fights

Douglas Andrade (26-3) took 2020 off and will look to start off 2021 strong when he kicks off his mid-week event against Lerone Murphy on Wednesday. At 4-3 in the UFC, Andrade has lost to the very best in the division against current champions Petr Yan and Rob Font. His last time in the Octagon, […]


Lerone Murphy Looking For A Win Wednesday

Lerone Murphy (9-0-1) scored a very impressive first-round knockout in July of last year after sustaining a draw in his UFC debut against Zubaira Tukhugov in September of 2019. Murphy sports a heavy hand, earning six of his nine career professional wins with a knockout. The Manchester Top Team prospect lands 2.59 significant strikes per […]
