UFC Fight Night 151 happens May 18 at Blue Cross Arena in Rochester, New York, and also the card lately had quite a few bouts added to it. My initial thoughts on the new matchups are under.
Megan Anderson vs. Felicia Spencer, UFC Fight Night 151
A fascinating women’s featherweight bout between former Invicta champions Megan Anderson and Felicia Spencer is set to happen at UFC Fight Night 151, and the winner could very well be set up to get a shot at Amanda Nunes’s 145lbs belt after she gets through her UFC 239 matchup against Holly Holm.
Anderson (9-3) chose to Holm in her Octagon debut this past year at UFC 225 but rebounded nicely with a first-round TKO win over Cat Zingano at UFC 232. Together with seven stoppage wins, Anderson is among the most dangerous female featherweights on the market. Spencer (6-0) won the Invicta name in her final bout, a submission win over Pam Sorensen. She has completed four of her struggles since making her MMA introduction in 2015, and the Montreal native appears to be a fantastic signing by the UFC as among the few true female featherweights from the game. Although Spencer should not be counted from the fight, awarded Anderson’s previous UFC experience advertising popularity, I’d expect her to become quite a sizeable favorite here.
Neil Magny vs. Vicente Luque, UFC Fight Night 151
Welterweight contenders Neil Magny and Vicente Luque are set to meet, according to a report from Farah Hannoun. Magny (21-7) is 14-6 in the UFC and is coming off of a brutal KO loss to Santiago Ponziibbio last November. Luque (15-6-1) is 8-2 at the UFC with all his wins coming by stoppage, and he is currently riding a four-fight win series that includes a knockout win over Bryan Barberena in what’s arguably so much the 2019″Fight of the Year” at MMA. Magny has long been an underrated welterweight and has known to surprise from time to time, but awarded Luque’s win streak and his absurd finishing power, you need to prefer him very heavily to get the business done here.
Antonio Carlos Junior vs. Ian Heinisch, UFC Fight Night 151
Middleweights Antonio Carlos Junior and Ian Heinisch are set to lock horns after Heinisch’s struggle against Tom Breese at UFC London fell through at the last minute due to some Breese medical issue. He’ll instead get the chance to battle a higher-ranked opponent in the form of Junior, the prior TUF winner.
Junior (10-2, 1 NC) is 7-2, 1 NC in the UFC and is currently riding a five-fight win series that includes a submission win over Tim Boetsch in his last outing, which will be important to not took place last April. Heinisch (12-1) is just one a four-fight win series and defeated Cezar Ferreira by decision within his UFC debut. This is going to be a competitive struggle, but awarded Junior’s Octagon encounter and vaunted submission match, you need to slightly prefer him to win this bout.
Davi Ramos vs. Austin Hubbard, UFC Fight Night 151
A lightweight link between Davi Ramos and Austin Hubbard is place for this particular occasion. Ramos (9-2) is 3-1 at the UFC and has won his last few fights via rear-naked choke. Hubbard (10-2) was the LFA lightweight champ and is riding a three-fight win streak into this battle. Hubbard is a fascinating prospect but Ramos has shown he can complete opponents inside the Octagon, and he must be a solid favorite here.
Danny Roberts vs. Michel Pereira, UFC Fight Night 151
Welterweights Danny Roberts and Michel Pereira are place to battle. Roberts (16-4) is 5-3 at the UFC and he is coming from a controversial submission reduction to Claudio Silva. Pereira (21-9, 2 NC) is making his UFC debut after a KO win in Road FC. Together with his UFC expertise, expect Roberts to be the favorite.
Julio Arce vs. Julian Erosa, UFC Fight Night 151
And eventually, a featherweight bout between Julio Arce and Julian Erosa is set, according to a report by Nolan King of FloCombat. Arce (15-3) is 2-1 in the UFC and lately had a seven-fight win streak snapped with a split decision loss to Sheymon Moraes his last time out. Erosa (22-7) is 0-3 at the UFC over two stints and is now riding a two-fight losing skid. This looks like a good bounce-back struggle for Arce, that I expect to be a big favorite.
