On Wednesday, the UFC held a press conference for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 147 card, which takes place March 16 at The O2 Arena in London, England. A range of bouts have been shown with this card, including the most important event between Darren Till and Jorge Masvidal and also the co-main event between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson, also at the press conference the UFC shown the newest batch of preliminary bouts.
Joseph Duffy vs. Marc Diakese, UFC Fight Night 147
Lightweights Joseph Duffy and Marc Diakese match in what should be an exciting bout 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 at the UFC but hasn’t fought as a 2017 KO loss to James Vick. He’s one of those few guys to conquer Conor McGregor. Diakese (12-3) is 2-3 in the UFC but those three losses have come in his last few outings. The UFC is giving Duffy a winnable battle here against a really beatable competition in Diakese, and I totally expect Duffy to start as a large favored.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Jose Quinonez, UFC Fight Night 147
Growing bantamweight star 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 complete with entry wins in the UFC over Johnny Eduardo and Andre Ewell. Quinonez (7-2) is currently 4-1 in the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Teruto Ishihara. I understand Quinonez is about a nice win series but to me this is a major mismatch also it looks like a fight the UFC reserved in order to get Wood an impressive win in the front of the English lovers.
Danny Henry vs. Dan Ige, UFC Fight Night 147
Featherweights Danny Henry and Dan Ige will fulfill on this card. Henry (12-2) is really on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 in the UFC with a submission win over Hakeem Dawodu in his final outing. Ige (10-2) is 3-1 in the UFC and defeated Jordan Griffin via decision in his last bout. Though Ige has been solid 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 even when he takes on UFC newcomer Mike Grundy. Narimani (12-2) is really on a five-fight win streak and is 2-0 so much 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 level of competition I’d have to favor Narimani here.
Arnold Allen vs. Jordan Rinaldi, UFC Fight Night 147
And lastly, there is an intriguing featherweight bout between Arnold Allen and Jordan Rinaldi. Allen (13-1) is currently 4-0 in the UFC and is riding a six-fight winning streak overall. But he has been frequently injured and usually fights just once a year. Rinaldi (14-6) is 2-2 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Jason Knight. Even though Allen is coming off of a long layoff I’d still need to prefer him very heavily to conquer Rinaldi.
