UFC Fight Night Uruguay: Shevchenko vs Carmouche II
At Montevideo, Uruguay to Get UFC Fight Night, the Octagon will be set up at the Antel Arena for the first time in UFC history: Shevchenko vs Carmouche II.
The womens flyweight belt will be on line with the winner, ValentinaBullet Shevchenko, being the hefty -1000 favorite and??the challenger, LizGirl-rilla Carmouche, coming straight back at +600. Ive got a breakdown and a choice for every one of the fights on the card.
Shevchenko (-1000) is producing her second name defense and is aiming to pick up a fourth consecutive win overall. Bullet fell down from bantamweight when the flyweight division opened up and has assembled a three-fight winning series, including beating Joanna Jedrzejczyk to acquire the belt and then protecting it from Jessica Eye in UFC 238 in June.
The 31-year-old does a really great job reading her competitor and has a fight IQ. Shevchenko throws??strong kicks she fires quickly and accurately, while throwing punches that are strong also. In addition, if she does feel any pressure in the striking game, shes got the skills to bring the fight into the floor because she averages 2.2 takedowns a 15 minutes.
Carmouche (+600) is searching for her very first three-fight winning streak since she won the first six fights of her pro career. Girl-rilla has gone into the judges scorecards in each of her last seven conflicts, with the only two endings in the Octagon coming in her first two conflicts, a submission loss to Ronda Rousey along with also a knockout win over present strawweight champion??Jessica Andrade.
The California native is a fighter, feinting in looking for her chances to shoot in and create a takedown or a clinch and constantly bouncing around on the outside. She averages 2.95 takedowns per 15 minutes and strikes 55 percent of her efforts, making a number of takedowns in each of her last six conflicts. On her toes, Carmouche has a fast jab??but doesnt throw a whole lot of strikes, but rather racking??her attack total through pound and ground up.
Shevchenko has dropped to two girls in her profession, Amanda Nunes (twice) and Liz Carmouche back in 2010. That reduction to Girl-rilla was knockout loss as she went to the judges scorecards both instances vs Nunes. I believe Bullet shouts and will have a massive advantage on the feet. In which Carmouche will want the fight to proceed meanwhile, she stuffs 73% of takedown efforts. I dont believe she wins the rematch although I really do think theres value on Carmouche in her number.
Luque (-225) tries to drive his winning streak to six, using the??prior five wins being??finishes. Overall,The Silent Assassin is 9-2 in the UFC with all of his wins being finishes along with his two losses coming via conclusion. The Brazil native has two knockout victories this past season. The first was an epic war by Bryan Barberena and the next was a ending of Derrick Krantz in May.
Luque sets his striking with combinations rather than simply throwing one attack at a moment and has accuracy that is fantastic. He??has tremendous power because hes knocked out his last four competitions. He can do a fantastic job maintaining his hands and changing stances to avoid much damage coming back another way. As he slowed down a lot in his warfare using Barberena at February, conditioning may be a bit of an issue, though.
Perry (+175) seems to collect back-to-back victories for the first time since he beat Jake Ellenberger and Alex Reyes in 2017. Ever since that time,Platinum has gone 2-3 with his two victories coming by decision over Paul Felder and, most lately, Alex Oliveira at April.
The 27-year-old is a hard-nosed and durable brawler who continues to improve. Platinum takes the middle of the Octagon and wont take a step backward, so getting in the face of his rival at a telephone booth-style fight. Defensively, he does not always keep his hands and doesnt have lots of head movement, which has contributed to him absorbing 4.27 strikes per minute.
This has Fight of the Night written around it. I believe that Luque is the better striker offensively and defensively but Perry hasnt been knocked out despite being at some brawls. However, the longer the battle goes, the longer the momentum swings in favor of Platinum although hed hand Barberena his career knockout reduction in that bout, because the Quiet Assassin failed slow with Barberena.
Garagorri (-135) is set to make his UFC debut and in doing so??lays his best record at stake. The Uruguay native has finished all the last five fights, all in the very first circular, four by you and entry by knockout. Overall, he has completed four by knockout nine of his 11 pro wins and five through entry.
The 30-year-old is a competitive fighter who storms in his opponent in the clinch with crazy strikes and nasty knees. He makes great notes, sending a barrage of his own the other way looking to put his rival 28, swaying out of the method of strikes. He is dangerous on the ground, with five admissions to his title, including four in his last five victories.
Bandenay (+105) seems to get back into the win column and set an end for his two-fight losing slide. The Peru native was signed by the UFC when he was about a five-fight winning streak, all of which were finishes, but he has a 1-2 record at the Octagon, getting knocked out by a hammer vs Gabriel Benitez and losing??with a three-round conclusion vs Austin Arnett his very final time out in November.
Bandenay utilizes a great deal of kicks to set up his approach, slowly moving forward until hes in scope to unleash a flurry of strikes. He tends not to keep his hands to shield against strikes coming back, when backing up defense and that he also stands a after premature storms that are early , looking a little tired. Finally, his hand rarely throws but instead just rips or overextending palms.
Garagorri is a composed fighter who is patient setting up his shots, but when he engages, he yells combinations with a lot of power. It will??be intriguing to see how he handles Bandenays long kisses along with this UFCs big lights.
Oezdemir (N/A) aims to put an end to his own career-worst??three-fight losing slip and then collect his first victory since July??2017. No Time shot the light heavyweight rankings with three straight wins in his first few fights, two of which were first-round knockouts that had just 1:10 combined to complete. He has now dropped three in a row to Anthony Smith Daniel Cormier and Dominick Reyes.
The Switzerland indigenous is a very dangerous fighter at the first round stalking his opponent??seeking to land his thick hands and put his foe. Oezdemir doesnt just set his strikes up that well but rather throws lunging pins to shut the distance, where he can work in the clinch with attacks or bring??the struggle to the ground. The biggest knock on Oezdemir is that he melts the later the longer the battle moves or the round goes, but his elimination looked far better in his last look against Reyes.
Latifi (N/A) tries to prevent his first-ever losing slide as he is coming from a three-round unanimous-decision defeat to Corey Anderson last December. The Sledgehammer has six losses in his career but hasnt needed back-to-back beats. Prior to his latest loss, Latifi was on a streak over Ovince Saint Preux and also Tyson Pedro.
The Sweden native is a counter-striker, making sense since??hes short??for the division, and??uses his opponent pressure to help him close the space. He doesnt have an extremely large output, staying on the exterior, and he wants to dictate where the fight happens, averaging 1.89 takedowns per 15 minutes and not??ever being??taken down at the Octagon.
The speed could slow, although there might be fireworks in the opening round of the bout. The two Latifi and Oezdemir are inclined to throw. However, the Sledgehammer waits for his foe while No Time enjoys to be the aggressor, to press forward and will be patient. The Switzerland native has straighter cries and that I think he has more energy, which could function as difference-maker.
Vieira (-185) creates his Octagon debut and looks to remain undefeated. The Black Belt Hunter brings with him a perfect 5-0 record, including four??submission victories and one??knockout. Only one of his five fights has??gone beyond the first round and that was back in 2017.
The Brazil native has quite great footwork which allows him to stay out of danger of the competitors strikes and offers him chances to locate openings for a takedown. Vieiras striking is not really something to be worried because he throws long jabs and leg strikes to make it look like he is working, but his main objective is yanking the struggle to the ground and hes terrific amount changes and power to attain that goal.
Piechota (+150) returns to the Octagon for the first time since suffering his first career loss last July. Imadlo had a perfect 11-0-1 list before falling via second-round submission to Gerald Meerschaert at the Ultimate Fighter 27 Finale. The Poland native has completed 10 of his 11 victories by knockout and five.
The 29-year-old has good footwork and head movement because he bounces around stalking forward. He does often second-guess himself sometimes in striking, finding an opportunity but pulling??back. When he does throw, he has great accuracy and power. Additionally, in the event the fight hits on the ground, he is very aggressive in hunting a submission, however, his sole loss also arrived in that fashion.
Neither fighter pulls on the trigger that harshly on the feet waiting to come across the opportunity to land the huge strike. Time slowed down in his struggle and has been dragged to the ground three days and finished in the second round. If hes got a hard time stuffing Vieiras shot, then it might be a brief evening for the Poland native.
Barzola (-200) seems to get back on the right track after having his four-fight winning streak snapped his final time out in March. The previous seven conflicts whichEl Fuerte has been in have gone to the judges scorecards –??five he won along with 2 he dropped, such as his last relationship with Kevin Aguilar. The Peru native hasnt earned a finish since 2014 before he joined the UFC.
Barzola has footwork with speed and the capacity to switch stances. He uses these skills to keep his opponent??off-balance so he could discover an chance to shoot and bring the battle to the ground, since he averages 5.29 takedowns a 15 minutes. El Fuerte has got several takedowns in all of his wins inside the Octagon. However he had a combined one takedown, not locating a ton of success on the feet.
Moffett (+160) aims to rebound from his first reduction in the UFC his very final time out in March. The Wolfman made a UFC contract along with his second-round submission success over Jacob Kilburn at Dana Whites Tuesday Night Contender Series past August. He followed that up with the other second-round submission win vs Chas Skelly but??lost by decision in March to Bryce Mitchell.
The Illinois native is a fighter that is mythical, closing the distance with jabs and straight rights. His bread and butter is at exchanges that are grappling, not. Six takedowns were procured by him through his first two fights in the UFC, making a submission success in the first one without having the ability to procure a submission but shooting Mitchell down five times.
This fight will be a grappling battle between two strong wrestlers and Moffett has the edge in the submission match. Barzola could continue to keep the fight standing and is going to be a lot faster on the toes and just select at Moffett apart from afar however the Wolfman likely has the power edge, making for an extremely interesting battle.
