The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Las Vegas, NV this past Saturday night (July 8, 2017) with UFC 213: Romero vs. Whittaker. It was an exciting night of bits that saw five of 11 bouts end inside the distance. With the activity now in our rear perspective, let us look at some possible matchups featuring some of the competitors from the evening…
Alistair Overeem vs. Alexei Olinyk
Both these heavyweights were powerful in their own charms at UFC 213, together with Overeem edging Fabricio Werdum via majority decision about the judges’ scorecards in a rubber game, and Oliynyk defeating Travis Browne by second-round rear-naked choke entry in striking, come-from-behind style. Overeem was expecting to earn a second title shot with this victory, but UFC president Dana White verified he will not be receiving it. I think a potential matchup against fellow veteran Oliynyk makes sense and are a great match for the primary card to November’s UFC 217 in nyc.
Fabricio Werdum vs. Derrick Lewis
Werdum came up short on the judges’ scorecards against Overeem and will be looking to bounce back into the win column his next time out. I believe an opponent that is logical for his next outing within the Octagon is Lewis, who said he was retiring following a fourth-round TKO loss to Mark Hunt but has since changed his tune. I think this potential heavyweight showdown would be the ideal main occasion for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil, in which Werdum would like to have the home advantage.
Rob Font vs. Matthew Lopez
Font defeated Douglas Silva de Andrade through second-round guillotine-choke submission to make his second successive victory within the Octagon. For his next bout, I want to see him take on the guy ranked right below him Matthew Lopez, who’s coming off a first-round TKO of Johnny Eduardo and enjoys a two-fight winning series. I believe this potential bantamweight contest should be the featured bout on the televised prelims for October’s UFC 216 at Las Vegas.
