Happy to hear UFC has signed Cage Warriors LW champ Paddy Pimblett. Last year, Bellator and KSW LW champs were signed to the promotion. I’d like to see UFC sign ACA and PFL champs in the future as well. Division has some good fights booked but hopefully the rest of the top talent gets booked for the summer.
Upcoming:
4/10 Miller vs Solecki
4/10 Gamrot vs Holtzman
4/17 Stephens vs Klose
5/15 Oliveira vs Chandler for LW title
5/15 Ferguson vs Dariush
5/15 Ismagulov vs Alves
5/15 Vannata vs Grundy
6/12 Evloev vs Dawodu
7/10 Poirier vs McGregor
Don’t see an option to edit the OP, weird. Gamrot looked good, needed that win after losing a close debut. Gillespie vs Ferreira is going down right before the title fight. Taisumov says he is returning soon, same for Lee. Stephens back at LW, been around forever, always a tough out, been fighting at the elite level a long time. I took the Vannata fight off because its at FW, same goes for the Evloev fight. Another LW moving weight, Trinaldo is headed up to WW to fight Salikov.
Upcoming:
4/17 Stephens vs Klose
5/08 Gillespie vs Ferreira
5/15 Oliveira vs Chandler for LW title
5/15 Ferguson vs Dariush
5/15 Ismagulov vs Alves
7/10 Poirier vs McGregor
For fans of the old LWs, Cowboy vs Sanchez goes down at WW on that Gillespie card. While we are on the topic, former LW Masvidal is also about to fight for the WW title and former LW Diaz fights Edwards on that Oliveira card.
Hooker saying he would be open to the RDA fight.
Makhachev has said he thinks he will fight RDA next but is open to the RDA fight as well.
Moises is on a three fight win streak and will need a decent fight next.
Looking forward to the returns of Lee and Taisumov, that would be a good fight to book this summer.
Kutateladze is coming off the Gamrot win and is booked vs Don Madge for 7/17 now.
Dober vs Riddell goes down on 6/16.
Did not watch anything but highlights but see Schulte and Pettis got upset by Held and Collard last night.
Will be interesting to see if Schulte and Pettis can qualify for the tournament as that favors fighters who either finish and earn big points or win two decisions in the regular season.
Like when Alvarez got upset by Nastyukhin when he went to ONE and Christian Lee TKOed Aoki for the ONE title at twenty years old, just shows how deep this division is.
