5 under the radar names to look out for at UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont

#4. Lupita 'Loopy' Godinez - UFC women's flyweight

Having competed only a week ago at UFC Fight Night: Dern vs. Rodriguez, Lupita Godinez returns to the Apex to face off against Luana Carolina. Godinez defeated Silvana Gomez Juarez via first-round submission last weekend. She stated in her post-fight interview that she was ready to step back in the octagon at any time.

Godinez proved that it was not just talk when Sijara Eubanks was forced out of her fight with Carolina due to COVID-19 protocol. If Godinez is able to put together two wins in two weeks, she will immediately fast track herself to a top-15 position and will undoubtedly become an instant fan favorite.

#3. Danaa 'Storm' Batgerel - UFC bantamweight

Mongolia's Danaa Batgerel is currently riding a two-fight winning streak inside the UFC, having knocked out both Kevin Natividad and Guido Cannetti. He will take on MMA veteran Brandon Davis on Saturday. Davis has fought his way back into the UFC after being cut from the organization in 2019.

This will very much be a classic prospect vs. veteran matchup, despite the ages of the two men being very similar. For Batgerel, another KO victory here may well be enough to see him paired up with a ranked fighter next, or at very least a bantamweight on the precipice of the 135-pound top 15.

Davis' experience and high-level ground game certainly have the potential to give Batgerel a lot of trouble. However, 'Storm' is riding high on confidence right now, and has proven he is equipped with the power to end the fight at any given moment.
