Saturday brings two former title challengers together, with another championship opportunity potentially within reach. Suarez is favored. Jandiroba has already survived the sort of opposition that makes easy […]

Elijah Smith enters Saturday’s UFC bantamweight contest against Davey Grant with three Octagon victories, no promotional defeats, and an unexpected complication: his contract expires after this fight. The 24-year-old told MMA Junkie that extension talks had not begun. A fourth UFC victory would strengthen his negotiating position, but Grant is hardly a ceremonial opponent. Bookmaker […]

Billy Elekana has won three consecutive UFC fights, yet bookmakers have installed Lucas Fernando as an overwhelming favorite. That is an unusual reception for a light heavyweight who has already beaten Ibo Aslan, Kevin Christian and Junior Tafa inside the Octagon. Fernando, meanwhile, has five consecutive professional victories, including an impressive UFC debut against Rafael […]

Keiichiro Nakamura has won eight consecutive professional fights. Ollie Schmid has lost three of seven. The bookmakers have made their assessment, and the Japanese featherweight is a commanding favorite. But this is not a contest between a proven UFC contender and an anonymous newcomer. Both fighters are still establishing themselves at the highest level. Nakamura […]

Austin Bashi enters Saturday’s featherweight contest as an overwhelming favorite, but the circumstances behind his opponent’s arrival make this a particularly difficult price to evaluate. Carlos Calderon accepted the assignment on four days’ notice after Lucas Brennan withdrew with a torn ACL. The Fury FC champion brings an 11-4 record, one no-contest, and a three-fight […]
