The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional history Saturday (June 17, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was a fun night of bits that saw half of 12 bouts end within the distance, and with this action now in our rear perspective, let us take a look at which of the day’s competitions we may no longer see heading to work within the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Andrei Arlovski
Arlovski came up short in a unanimous-decision loss to Marcin Tybura and has now suffered five consecutive defeats within the Octagon, together with five of them coming from the heavy hitters of the division. It wouldn’t shock me to see him get another chance, but I think it is very likely that we’ve seen the last of Arlovski. If they wanted to keep him around, I believe they would have given him a different competitor than Tybura, since the Pole was riding a red hot win series with a pair of knockout finishes.
Tarec Saffiedine
Saffiedine has suffered three consecutive defeats and is 1-4 in his last five outings inside the Octagon. The only victory during that stretch has been a unanimous-decision over Jake Ellenberger. As a result of that losing streak, I believe there’s a fair possibility that the promotion will elect to part ways with the prior Strikeforce welterweight champion. I’d say it’s 50/50 as to whether we see Saffiedine stay in the organization.
Takanori Gomi
Gomi has now last four in a row — all via first-round end — and it is likely that the 38-year-old veteran will likely be getting his walking papers out of the advertising. The simple fact that there is a card coming up in Japan makes me believe they may give him yet another crack, therefore at this point, we’ve got a 50/50 shot best of viewing”The Fireball Kid” back.
