NEW BOUTS ADDED TO UFC LONDON INCLUDING RETURN OF JOSEPH DUFFY
On Wednesday, the UFC held a media conference for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 147 card, which takes place March 16 at The O2 Arena in London, England. A range of bouts have previously been revealed with this card, including the most important event between Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal and also the co-main event between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson, and at the press conference the UFC shown the newest batch of preliminary spells.
Joseph Duffy vs. Marc Diakese, UFC Fight Night 147
Lightweights Joseph Duffy and Marc Diakese meet in what should be an exciting bout between two strikers. NewsomeMMA first reported the news that Diakese is filling in for the injured Stevie Ray. Duffy (16-3) is 4-2 at the UFC but hasn’t fought as a 2017 KO loss to James Vick. He’s one of those few men to conquer Conor McGregor. Diakese (12-3) is 2-3 in the UFC but these 3 losses came in his last three outings. The UFC is providing Duffy a winnable fight here against a very beatable competition in Diakese, and I totally anticipate Duffy to start as a sizable favorite.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Jose Quinonez, UFC Fight Night 147
Growing bantamweight star Nathaniel Wood will aim to keep his win streak when he takes on Jose Quinonez. Wood (15-3) is on a seven-fight win series overall with submission wins in the UFC over Johnny Eduardo and Andre Ewell. Quinonez (7-2) is currently 4-1 at the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Teruto Ishihara. I understand Quinonez is on a nice win series but to me this is a major mismatch and it looks like a battle that the UFC reserved as a way to get Wood an impressive win in front of the English fans.
Danny Henry vs. Dan Ige, UFC Fight Night 147
Featherweights Danny Henry and Dan Ige will meet on this card. Henry (12-2) is really on a five-fight win streak and is 2-0 in the UFC with a submission win over Hakeem Dawodu in his final outing. Ige (10-2) is 3-1 at the UFC and conquered Jordan Griffin via conclusion in his final bout. Though Ige has been solid from the UFC, I think Henry has the higher ceiling and I would tend to prefer him here.
Nad Narimani vs. Mike Grundy, UFC Fight Night 147
Top featherweight prospect Nad Narimani yields this even when he chooses on UFC newcomer Mike Grundy. Narimani (12-2) is on a five-fight win streak and is 2-0 thus much in the UFC. Grundy (11-1) is a veteran of ACB and is riding an eight-fight win streak into this event. Grundy has a remarkable record but given the level of competition I’d have to prefer Narimani here.
Arnold Allen vs. Jordan Rinaldi, UFC Fight Night 147
And lastly, there’s an interesting featherweight bout between Arnold Allen and Jordan Rinaldi. Allen (13-1) is 4-0 in the UFC and is riding a six-fight winning series overall. But he’s been hurt and generally fights just once a year. Rinaldi (14-6) is currently 2-2 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Jason Knight. Even though Allen is coming off of a very long layoff I would still have to favor him quite heavily to conquer Rinaldi.
