MATCHES TO MAKE FOLLOWING UFC FIGHT NIGHT 111

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional history Saturday (June 17, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was a fun night of scraps that saw six of 12 bouts end inside the space, and with that activity today in our rear view, let’s look at some possible matchups featuring a few of the competitors in the evening…
Bethe Correia vs. Liz Carmouche
Correia endured a third-round knockout against Holly Holm last weekend and will be looking to go back to the win column her next time out. I think that a matchup which makes sense for her next excursion within the Octagon will be one against fellow former UFC women’s bantamweight title challenger Liz Carmouche. It would be a rare”winner versus loser” matchup from the division, but it’s a pairing I think makes a great deal of sense. I think this potential women’s 135-pound competition would be a good fit for the primary card to October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
Colby Covington vs. Rafael dos Anjos
Covington and Dos Anjos were each successful in their own principal card bouts at UFC Fight Night 111, with Covington taking a unanimous-decision triumph over Dong Hyun Kim and dos Anjos making a unanimous nod against former Strikeforce welterweight champion Tarec Saffiedine. It was a solid welterweight introduction for dos Anjos, also I think Covington are a good opponent for his next outing, as both of them are looking to break into the Top 15 in 170 lbs. This welterweight contest would be a nice match for the preliminary card to August’s UFC 215 at Seattle.
“Stun Gun” Dong Hyun Kim vs. Alan Jouban
This welterweight showdown that is potential has of producing fireworks possibility. It might also prove to be a lackluster struggle if Kim uses a grappling-heavy game program and finds success with it. I’m not sure he will though, as I could see Jouban keeping the fight standing. Jouban did show enhanced takedown defense in his last outing against Gunnar Nelson despite dropping via second-round guillotine-choke entry after being dropped using a punch to the brow. Kim is coming off a unanimous-decision reduction to Covington, also like Jouban, he will be looking to bounce back to the win column his second time out. I think this fight would be a match for the UFC Fight Night in Japan of September.
