UFC Fight Night: Previews And Odds For The Card’s Most Intriguing Fights

Posted on November 20, 2023 by A. J. Riot

UFC Fight Night is set to take fans back to the UFC APEX for the final time this year, with some highly anticipated matchups scheduled for this coming Saturday.

In this article, we take a look at the six of the most interesting fights on the card, as well as the odds attached to them ahead of one of the last events of 2023.

Michael Morales vs. Jake Matthews

Michael Morales is -305 for a victory over Jake Matthews, who’s +245 to win this bout.

The fighters are very similar as they move at the same speed and register just about the same accuracy and distance defense, though Matthews’ defense from distance is lower. On another note, he has way more experience than his upcoming opponent as this will be his 19th fight in UFC while Morales only has four under his belt.

It does read as if Matthews is an aged veteran, but he’s only 29. He’s our favorite for this one given the huge difference in experience.

UFC 295:Prochazka vs Pereira match preview

Posted on November 6, 2023 by A. J. Riot

The much-anticipated UFC 295 is set to take place at Madison Square Garden in New York City on November 11, featuring a headline bout between Jiří Procházka and Alex Pereira for the vacant light heavyweight title. Originally slated as the co-main event, this matchup was elevated to the main event after Jon Jones’ untimely pectoral injury, adding an extra layer of intrigue to an already stacked card.

The shift in the main event brought an electrifying showdown between two of the light heavyweight division’s most formidable finishers. Jiří Procházka, a former champion with an awe-inspiring record, looks to reclaim the title he was forced to vacate due to injury.

On the other side of the Octagon stands Alex Pereira, a knockout artist with victories over some of the division’s best. The odds for this highly-anticipated matchup currently stands at Pereira -145 and Procházka +122, reflecting the close nature of this contest.

Is Conor McGregor’s Return Closer Than Ever?

Posted on October 26, 2023 by A. J. Riot

Conor McGregor is one of the most famous sports personalities in the world, especially in the world of combat sports/fighting sports/mixed martial arts.

The question being asked here about the Irish mixed martial artist, better known as ‘Notorious,’ is, ‘Is Conor McGregor closer than ever to a return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC)?’ Let’s dive straight in to find out.

Is Conor McGregor close to fighting in the UFC again?

According to reports, Conor McGregor will, at some point, make a return to the UFC, but it’s not likely to be in 2023. If he makes a comeback, it could be in 2024.

UFC CEO Dana White recently announced the remaining 2023 UFC fights, and McGregor’s name was not on the list. Some expected that he would return to the Octagon before this year’s end, but he missed his short opportunity to re-enroll in the USADA drug testing pool in July.

His last competitive UFC fight was in July 2021, when he lost in the fifth minute of round 1 against Dustin Poirier by KO/TKO. In the fight before this in January 2021, which was also against Poirier, he lost by KO/TKO (punches) in 2:32 of the second round.

He appears to have recovered from his leg injury and is back in the gym training again, so it shouldn’t be too long before we see McGregor fighting in the UFC again.
