A women’s flyweight bout between Luana Carolina and Priscila Cachoeira is set for UFC 237, taking place May 11 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cachoeira is filling in on short notice for the wounded Yanan Wu. The news was broken by combate. Carolina (5-1) is riding a five-fight win streak since losing her MMA introduction, including a success on the Brazilian Contender Series past summer. Cachoeira (8-2) has lost both of her UFC bouts to Valentina Shevchenko and Molly McCann. At this point, bettors will be seeking to fade Cachoeira due to all the harm she has been shooting in her struggles, and I’d expect Carolina to be the favorite here despite having no expertise inside the Octagon.
Eddie Wineland vs. Grigory Popov, UFC 238
An intriguing bantamweight bout between Eddie Wineland and Grigory Popov was added to UFC 238, taking place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Fight Country broke news. Wineland (23-13-1) is 5-7 total from the UFC and is coming from consecutive decision losses to Alejandro Perez and John Dodson. He generally just fights once a year today, and hasn’t won a fight because a TKO win over Takeya Mizugaki at 2016. Popov (13-1) is riding a nine-fight win series on the Asian regional scene right into his UFC debut, although he has not fought anyone of notice. Something interesting to keep in mind is that we has won two fights via the rarely-seen gogoplata entry. However, I anticipate most bettors to seem to evaporate Wineland here, and Popov will probably be favored regardless of his lack of UFC experience.
Markus Perez vs. Deron Winn, UFC Fight Night 154
A fascinating middleweight bout between Markus Perez and Deron Winn is set for UFC Fight Night 154, occurring June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Combate broke the information. Perez (11-2) is currently 2-2 at the UFC and is coming off of a submission win over Anthony Hernandez. Winn (5-0) is coming from a decision win over Tom Lawlor in Golden Boy MMA 1 and was considered a top prospect at 205lbs, however he’ll be falling down in weight for this battle. Although Perez has looked great in his victories, he’s a bit too inconsistent for my liking and as a top prospect I anticipate Winn are the favored.
Molly McCann vs. Ariane Lipski, UFC Fight Night 154
Also added to UFC Fight Night 154 is a women’s flyweight bout between Molly McCann and Ariane Lipski. ESPN had the news. McCann (8-2) is 1-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win within the above Cachoeira. Lipski (11-4) was a winner in KSW and had a long win streak before arriving in the UFC, but it had been snapped by a decision loss to Joanne Calderwood. The Calderwood fight proved to be a challenging style matchup to get Lipski, but this struggle against McCann should be in her wheelhouse, and I expect her to get her hand raised.
