On Wednesday, the UFC held a media conference for its upcoming UFC Fight Night 147 card, which takes place March 16 at The O2 Arena in London, England. A number of bouts have been shown with this card, including the most important event between Darren Until and Jorge Masvidal and also the co-main occasion between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson, and at the press conference the UFC revealed the latest batch of preliminary bouts.
Joseph Duffy vs. Marc Diakese, UFC Fight Night 147
Lightweights Joseph Duffy and Marc Diakese match in what ought to be an exciting connection 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 in the UFC but has not fought as a 2017 KO loss to James Vick. He’s among those few guys to defeat Conor McGregor. Diakese (12-3) is 2-3 at the UFC but those three losses came in his last three outings. The UFC is giving Duffy a winnable battle here against a very beatable opponent in Diakese, and I fully expect Duffy to open as a sizable favorite.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Jose Quinonez, UFC Fight Night 147
Growing bantamweight celebrity Nathaniel Wood will aim to continue his win streak when he takes on Jose Quinonez. Wood (15-3) is on a seven-fight win streak overall with submission wins in the UFC over Johnny Eduardo and Andre Ewell. Quinonez (7-2) is currently 4-1 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Teruto Ishihara. I understand Quinonez is on a nice win streak but to me this is a major mismatch also it looks like a battle that the UFC booked as a way to get Wood an impressive win in front of the British lovers.
Danny Henry vs. Dan Ige, UFC Fight Night 147
Featherweights Danny Henry and Dan Ige will fulfill with this card. Henry (12-2) is really on a five-fight win streak and is 2-0 in the UFC with a submission win over Hakeem Dawodu in his final outing. Ige (10-2) is 3-1 at the UFC and conquered Jordan Griffin via decision in his final bout. Though Ige has been strong in the UFC, I believe Henry has the higher ceiling and I’d tend to prefer him .
Nad Narimani vs. Mike Grundy, UFC Fight Night 147
Top featherweight prospect Nad Narimani yields this when he takes on UFC newcomer Mike Grundy. Narimani (12-2) is on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 so far in the UFC. Grundy (11-1) is a veteran of ACB and is riding an eight-fight win streak into this occasion. Grundy has a remarkable record but given the degree of competition I would have to prefer Narimani here.
Arnold Allen vs. Jordan Rinaldi, UFC Fight Night 147
And finally, there’s an intriguing featherweight connection between Arnold Allen and Jordan Rinaldi. Allen (13-1) is currently 4-0 in the UFC and is riding a six-fight winning streak in general. However, he’s been frequently injured and generally fights just once a year. Rinaldi (14-6) is currently 2-2 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Jason Knight. Even though Allen is coming from a very long layoff I would still need to favor him very heavily to conquer Rinaldi.
