The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Las Vegas, NV last Saturday night (July 8, 2017) with UFC 213: Romero vs. Whittaker. It was a thrilling night of scraps that saw five of 11 bouts end inside the distance. And with the activity now in our rear perspective, let’s take a look at some possible matchups featuring a few of the opponents in the evening…
Alistair Overeem vs. Alexei Olinyk
Both of these heavyweights were powerful in their charms at UFC 213, together with Overeem trimming Fabricio Werdum through majority decision about the judges’ scorecards at a rubber game, and Oliynyk defeating Travis Browne by second-round rear-naked choke entry in striking, come-from-behind style. Overeem was hoping to earn a second name shot with this success, but UFC president Dana White verified that he will not be receiving it. I believe a possible matchup against fellow veteran Oliynyk makes sense and are a great fit for the main card to November’s UFC 217 at nyc.
Fabricio Werdum vs. Derrick Lewis
Werdum came up short on the judges’ scorecards against Overeem and will be looking to bounce back to the win column his second time out. I believe an opponent which makes sense for his next excursion inside the Octagon is Lewis, who said he was retiring after having a fourth-round TKO loss to Mark Hunt but has since changed his tune. I think this possible heavyweight showdown are the ideal principal event for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil, in which Werdum would like to have the house advantage.
Rob Font vs. Matthew Lopez
Font defeated Douglas Silva de Andrade through second-round guillotine-choke entry to earn his second successive victory inside the Octagon. Because of his next bout, I would like to see him take on the man ranked right below him in Matthew Lopez, who is coming off a first-round TKO of Johnny Eduardo and also enjoys a two-fight winning streak. I believe this potential bantamweight contest ought to be the featured bout on the prelims for October’s UFC 216 at Las Vegas.
