Light Heavyweight: Devin Clark vs. Aleksandar Rakic
#1 Devin Clark vs. Aleksandar Rakic
Devin Clark and Aleksander Rakic are both coming into this fight on the back of a win. However, when it comes to Rakic, his winning tendencies have been going on for a while now.
Since making his debut in the UFC, Rakic is unbeaten with 2 fights to his name. He even has a streak of 10 wins at the moment, which is an incredible record.
Clark will have to do something special to even challenge him at this stage.
#2 Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Kyle Nelson
When it looked like Diego Ferreira may be facing Jesse Ronson, Nelson was disheartened. After getting a 12-1 run on the outside, he had been looking for an opportunity to fight on the big stage. He finally got the chance and snapped it up in one second, when Ronson announced that he was too heavy and would not be able to make the cut in one week.
The two are set to square off against each other in the biggest fight of Nelson's career at UFC 231.
#3 Chad Laprise vs Dhiego Lima
Chad Laprise might have had quite the amazing few years when it comes to his UFC career, but his last loss will have shaken him. Coming away from a 1st round knockout is never easy, and it will be a test for him to do so.
Now, he faced Dhiego Lima, who has three losses to his name. Coming off a record like that a lot is dependant on how Lima can bring himself to face up to his opponent.
#4 Brad Katona vs Matthew Lopez
Matthew Lopez has two consecutive defeats to his name in his last fights. Since coming to the UFC, he has a terrible 2-3 record which cannot be good for him.
Now he is set to face former mechanical engineer, Brad Katona. Katona is a newcomer to the UFC, but his impressive 7-0 record is enough to instil confidence in anyone. His win in The Ultimate Fighter fight was enough to land him this fight and now he may take things a step forward.
#5 Elias Theodorou vs. Eryk Ander
Elias Theodorou and Eryk Anders will face each other in the first fight of the Preliminary Card of the night.
Anders is coming off a disappointing decision loss to Santos, who is higher up in the card. On the other hand, Theodorou has a two-fight win streak in progress at the moment. Whoever wins this fight gets a huge boost which both of them need.
#6 Katlyn Chookagian vs. Jessica Eye
In the first women's fight of the night, Katlyn Chookagian takes on Jessica Eye. Chookagian is 4 from 5 fights currently in the UFC and has been looking superb of late. Her opponent, on the other hand, is no layabout herself.
Although she lost 4-fights on the drop, she seems to finally be ready to bounce back. She has two wins to her name previously, something which she will be looking to build on.
#7 Olivier Aubin-Mercier vs. Gilbert Burns
Olivier Aubin-Mercier looks like he has all the talent in the world. With three losses to his name and his last fight being a loss he has his share of doubters, but overall Mercier has shown an innate ability to read his opponents which is sure to help him.
His opponent from the night is none other than Gilbert Burns. Burns is coming off a loss as well, something he will be hoping to soon rectify. With three wins in his last five fights, Burns has established himself as a contender, but now it is up to him to see if he can drive home his point with a win.
#8 Claudia Gadelha vs. Nina Ansaroff
In the women's Strawweight fight between Claudia Gadelha and Nina Ansaroff, the winner of the fight could very well be in for a Strawweight Title bout. While Nina Ansaroff might be the ranked at number 11, a win over the number 3 strawweight in Nina Ansaroff might be a huge boost for her up the rankings.
Both fighters are coming off wins, and this fight is critical for them,
