On Wednesday, the UFC held a media conference for its coming UFC Fight Night 147 card, which takes place March 16 at The O2 Arena in London, England. A range of bouts have been revealed with this card, including the most important event between Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal and also the co-main occasion between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson, also at the press conference the UFC shown the latest batch of preliminary spells.
Joseph Duffy vs. Marc Diakese, UFC Fight Night 147
Lightweights Joseph Duffy and Marc Diakese meet in what ought to be an exciting bout between two strikers. NewsomeMMA first reported the news that Diakese is filling in for the injured Stevie Ray. Duffy (16-3) is currently 4-2 at the UFC but has not fought as a 2017 KO loss to James Vick. He is one of the few men to conquer Conor McGregor. Diakese (12-3) is 2-3 at the UFC but these three losses came in his last few outings. The UFC is giving Duffy a winnable battle here against a really beatable opponent in Diakese, and I fully anticipate Duffy to start as a sizable favored.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Jose Quinonez, UFC Fight Night 147
Rising bantamweight celebrity Nathaniel Wood will aim to keep his win streak when he takes on Jose Quinonez. Wood (15-3) is on a seven-fight win series complete with entry wins at the UFC over Johnny Eduardo and Andre Ewell. Quinonez (7-2) is currently 4-1 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Teruto Ishihara. I know Quinonez is on a nice win streak but to me this is a big mismatch and it looks like a battle that the UFC booked in order to get Wood an impressive win in front of the English lovers.
Danny Henry vs. Dan Ige, UFC Fight Night 147
Featherweights Danny Henry and Dan Ige will meet on this card. Henry (12-2) is really on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 in the UFC with a submission win over Hakeem Dawodu in his final outing. Ige (10-2) is 3-1 in the UFC and defeated Jordan Griffin via conclusion in his final bout. Although Ige has been solid from the UFC, I believe Henry has the higher ceiling and I’d tend to favor him .
Nad Narimani vs. Mike Grundy, UFC Fight Night 147
Top featherweight prospect Nad Narimani yields this even when he takes on UFC newcomer Mike Grundy. Narimani (12-2) is on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 thus far in the UFC. Grundy (11-1) is a veteran of ACB and is riding an eight-fight win streak into this event. Grundy has an impressive record but given the level of competition I would have to prefer Narimani here.
Arnold Allen vs. Jordan Rinaldi, UFC Fight Night 147
And lastly, there’s an interesting featherweight connection between Arnold Allen and Jordan Rinaldi. Allen (13-1) is currently 4-0 at the UFC and is riding a six-fight winning series in general. However, he has been frequently injured and usually fights just annually. Rinaldi (14-6) is 2-2 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Jason Knight. Even though Allen is coming from a long layoff I would still have to prefer him very heavily to conquer Rinaldi.
