In Luque though he has someone who can knock him out if he makes a mistake and can also hold his own on the ground. Chiesa will undoubtedly use his kicks before shooting for takedowns and if he gets control on the mat then he very rarely lets it slip. Chiesa is on a four-fight win streak, with a dominant win over Neil Magny last time out at UFC Fight Island 8, while Luque is on a three-fight win streak with a submission win over Tyron Woodley at UFC 260.Ĭhiesa is a magnificent wrestler and grappler, with incredible jiu-jitsu and superhuman strength on the ground, while Luque is a powerhouse with aggressive boxing but also a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt. Michael Chiesa (18-4) vs Vicente Luque (20-7-1) – (Welterweight/170lbs)Īrguably the best fight on the card as two top welterweight contenders go head-to-head to earn contender status. For me, Torres is the more skilled of the two though and she should claim a win. The issue both of these women have is that neither have fight-changing power so it really comes down to skill. ![]() Torres has a size disadvantage but Hill will look to wrestle and clinch, which can open opportunities up for her to land her offense. ![]() Hill on the other hand has never really beaten any of the top contenders and wins fights she’s supposed to win. Torres has fought some of the best around and while she’s not as good as she once was she still has a terrific skillset. Torres is scrappy boxer with good striking and some decent wrestling in her arsenal too, while Hill is a well-rounded Muay-Thai fighter who uses her knees and cardio brilliantly. Hill on the other hand was in great form despite not the best results in 2020, and got a big win over Ashley Yoder at UFC Vegas 21. Torres has won each of her last two after suffering four losses in a row before that, stopping Sam Hughes via corner stoppage last time out at UFC 256. Tecia Torres (12-5) vs Angela Hill (13-9) – (Strawweight/125lbs)Ī fun fight at strawweight as both women look to extend their win streak as they look to build up the rankings. Really close and interesting fight, but I think Kenney’s wrestling proves the difference. But against Cruz he opted to battle it out on the feet and Yadong is a better striker who could punish that decision. If Kenney chooses to wrestle almost exclusively then he is more than good enough to wrap up the first two rounds and then look to survive the third when he eventually tires. ![]() Yadong’s cardio is his biggest advantage in this bout, with Kenney fairly often fading away in the third round. He’ll need all of that when he takes on Kenney, who is a top level wrestler but also has got some good power in his striking and kicks. Yadong is traditionally a kung-fu fighter but he has got good boxing and also some decent defensive wrestling chops. ![]() Yadong was beaten by Kyler Phillips back at UFC 259 last time out, while Kenney suffered defeat to former champion Dominick Cruz on the same night. Song Yadong (16-5-1) vs Casey Kenney (16-3-1) – (Bantamweight/135lbs)Īn absolute banger in the bantamweight division as two highly-rated 135lbers look to get themselves back into the win column.
