UFC Prague (UFC Fight Night 145) is set to take place February 23 in The O2 Arena at the capital city of the Czech Republic. The main event of this card is that a light heavyweight bout between Thiago Santos and Jan Blachowicz, and now the UFC is beginning to fill out the card by announcing all of the preliminary bouts. Four new prelims have been shown for the card (in addition to people mention in previous posts here), and here are my thoughts on the newest bouts in the current MMA odds and ends.
Veronica Macedo vs. Gillian Robertson, UFC Fight Night 145
The first new bout of course is a women’s flyweight matchup between Veronica Macedo and Gillian Robertson. Nolan King of all FloCombat broke the brand new. Macedo (5-2-1) is 0-2 in the UFC but put up a spirited effort in a decision loss to Andrea Lee that won her a share of”Fight of the evening ” Robertson (5-3) is 2-1 at the UFC, with all her fights ending in entry lose or win. Both women are in desperate need of a success, and this fight could go either way. I would slightly lean towards Robertson since she has fought a higher level of competition, but it is close.
Carlo Pedersoli Jr. vs. Dwight Grant, UFC Fight Night 145
Then We’ve Got a welterweight bout between Carlo Pedersoli Jr. and Dwight Grant. Sherdog broke the information. Pedersoli Jr. (11-2) opened his UFC career with a split decision win over Brad Scott but endured a fast KO loss to Alex Oliveira his last time out. Grant (8-2) is coming off of a split decision loss to Zak Ottow in his last fight. Both guys have a lot to prove but I think Pedersoli Jr. is a better fighter based on what we’ve observed in the UFC and Cage Warriors and I would prefer him .
Magomed Ankalaev vs. Klidson Farias de Abreu, UFC Fight Night 145
After a few other opponents dropped through, Magomed Ankalaev will go back to the Octagon from UFC newcomer Klidson Farias de Abreu. Ankalaev (9-1) endured a devastating submission reduction to Paul Craig in his UFC debut but bounced back well with a TKO win over Marcin Prachnio in his final struggle. Abreu (14-2) is riding a six-fight win streak into this competition and all 16 of his wins have finished within the distance. I wouldn’t feel comfortable laying huge juice Ankalaev after what occurred in the Craig struggle, but on paper that he must have the benefit in this particular one. With that said, if Abreu is a massive underdog such as Craig was, perhaps he could be worth taking a flier on.
Damir Ismagulov vs. Joel Alvarez, UFC Fight Night 145
And added to the card is a welterweight connection between Damir Ismagulov and Joel Alvarez. MMADNA broke the information. Ismagulov (17-2) is riding a 12-fight win streak and won a decision over Alex Gorgees in his UFC debut. Alvarez (15-1) is a veteran of the Spanish regional scene, and it has finished all 15 of the professional victories. Alvarez resembles a good prospect but Ismagulov is about a whole other level and I would peg him as a big favorite to win this fight.
