Fights on Faucet is a weekly roundup of all of the fights booked within the UFC, Bellator and different promotions.
UFC 285 on Saturday was an amazing pay-per-view occasion! Jon Jones grew to become the brand new heavyweight champion with a fast submission of Ciryl Gane. Alexa Grasso shocked Valentina Shevchenko to say the flyweight championship. Shavkat Rakhmonov and Geoff Neal placed on a present of their ‘Battle of the Night time’ awarded look. And Bo Nickal had a profitable debut. With that occasion now over, let’s check out what we’ve got forward of us on the upcoming schedule.
The UFC both introduced or finalized 7 fights this week, and a top-10 strawweight conflict is about.
Together with her time at flyweight coming to an finish, Jéssica Andrade is shifting her focus to strawweight. For her subsequent UFC look, ‘Bate Estaca’ is sharing the Octagon with Xiaonan Yan at UFC 288, the upcoming pay-per-view occasion scheduled for Could 6 on the Prudential Middle in Newark, New Jersey.
Although she break up time at 115 and 125 kilos, Andrade determined to concentrate on the previous after struggling a second-round submission loss to Erin Blanchfield at UFC Vegas 69 in February. At strawweight, the Brazilian is 8-3, with wins over Karolina Kowalkiewicz, Rose Namajunas and Amanda Lemos. After a 6-0 begin to her UFC profession, Yan dropped consecutive fights to Carla Esparza and Marina Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 27 and UFC 272, respectively. Not too long ago, ‘Fury’ rebounded with a majority determination over Mackenzie Dern at UFC Vegas 61 this previous October.
