The UFC is headed back to the City of Brotherly Love after this month, and a couple fights are added on short notice. UFC on ESPN 2 takes place March 30 in Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and my first thoughts on those new bouts are under.
Kevin Holland vs. Gerald Meerschaert, UFC on ESPN two Middleweights Kevin Holland Gerald Meerschaert are set to battle at UFC on ESPN two in what should be a fun fight for the fans. The Philly Voice broke the news. Holland (13-4) dropped a choice to Thiago Santos in his UFC debut but rebounded nicely with a submission win over John Phillips. In general, he’s won five of the last six fights. Meerschaert (28-10) is currently 4-2 in the UFC but is coming from a entry loss to Jack Hermansson. Both Holland and Meerschaert are extremely underrated and exciting fighters in middleweight, but awarded Holland’s childhood and physical advantages in this particular fight, I’d make him the favorite here.
Ray Borg vs. Kyler Phillips, UFC on ESPN 2 Because of an accident to Pingyuan Liu, Ray Borg currently meets short-notice replacement competitor Kyler Phillips in a bantamweight bout. Borg (11-3) is 5-3 overall from the UFC but has not fought as a submission loss to Demetrious Johnson at October 2017. He’s dealt with a lot in his young career and he could put the past behind him. Phillips (6-1) is making his UFC debut after picking up a head kick KO in LFA just a few weeks ago. He is a veteran of the Contender Series and looks like a very promising prospect, but he lacks the UFC experience that Borg has. I believe Phillips has a chance to win this fight, but you still have to favor Borg.
Alex Perez vs. Mark de la Rosa, UFC on ESPN two Moving up from flyweight into bantamweight is Alex Perez, and he’ll take on Mark de la Rosa. Perez (21-5) won his first three UFC battles before getting knocked out by Joseph Benavidez in his last outing. Prior to that, he was riding an eight-fight win series. De la Rosa (11-1) is 2-1 in the UFC and his spouse Montana de la Rosa is having a great deal of success in the Octagon, but the truth he struggled in a narrow split decision win over Joby Sanchez was troubling. Like most bantamweight bouts, this ought to be competitive, but I would still favor Perez to receive his hand raised.
John Makdessi vs. Jesus Pinedo, UFC Fight Night 148
Due to accidents Chris Gruetzemacher and Nasrat Haqparast, their first rivals John Makdessi and Jesus Pinedo will now fight at UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 in Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. Considering both men are lightweights who only lost their opponents, this is the best way to maintain both men on the card. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 in the UFC and is coming from back-to-back wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Pinedo (16-4-1) is really on a seven-fight win streak and conquer Devin Powell by choice within his UFC debut. Makdessi includes a ton of experience from the Octagon however Pinedo is only 22-years-old and looks like a fantastic prospect. I would expect a close lineup here but awarded Pinedo’s youth and upside he’s probably the drama in this one.
