A women’s flyweight bout between Luana Carolina and Priscila Cachoeira is place for UFC 237, taking place May 11 at Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Cachoeira is filling in on short notice for the wounded Yanan Wu. The news broke. Carolina (5-1) is riding a five-fight win streak since losing her MMA debut, including a success on the Brazilian Contender Series past summer. Cachoeira (8-2) has lost both of her UFC bouts to Valentina Shevchenko and Molly McCann. Now, bettors will be seeking to fade Cachoeira because of all the damage she has been taking in her fights, and I would expect Carolina to be the preferred here despite having no experience inside the Octagon.
Eddie Wineland vs. Grigory Popov, UFC 238
An intriguing bantamweight bout between Eddie Wineland and Grigory Popov was added to UFC 238, taking place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The Fight Nation broke the news. Wineland (23-13-1) is 5-7 overall in the UFC and is coming from consecutive decision losses to Alejandro Perez and John Dodson. He typically only fights once a year now, and has not won a fight since a TKO win over Takeya Mizugaki in 2016. Popov (13-1) is riding a nine-fight win streak on the Asian regional scene right into his UFC debut, although he hasn’t fought anyone of note. Something interesting to remember is that we has won two fights via the rarely-seen gogoplata entry. Still, I anticipate most bettors to look to evaporate Wineland here, and Popov will most likely be favored regardless of his lack of UFC experience.
Markus Perez vs. Deron Winn, UFC Fight Night 154
A fascinating middleweight bout between Markus Perez and Deron Winn is set for UFC Fight Night 154, occurring June 22 at Bon Secours Wellness Arena in Greenville, South Carolina. Combate broke the news. Perez (11-2) is currently 2-2 in the UFC and is coming from a submission win over Anthony Hernandez. Winn (5-0) is coming from a decision win over Tom Lawlor at Golden Boy MMA 1 and was regarded as a top prospect in 205lbs, however he’ll be dropping down in weight for this battle. Though Perez has looked great in his victories, he is a bit too inconsistent for my liking and as a top prospect I expect Winn are the favorite.
Molly McCann vs. Ariane Lipski, UFC Fight Night 154
Also added to UFC Fight Night 154 is a women’s flyweight bout between Molly McCann and Ariane Lipski. ESPN had the information. McCann (8-2) is 1-1 at the UFC and is coming from a decision win within the aforementioned Cachoeira. Lipski (11-4) was a champion in KSW and had a lengthy win streak before coming in the UFC, but it was snapped by a decision loss to Joanne Calderwood. The Calderwood fight proved to be a challenging style matchup for Lipski, but this fight against McCann should be in her wheelhouse, and I expect her to get her hands raised.
