#1 Main Card Main Race Lightweight
Jay. Herbert vs. Ilya Topria
Jay. Herbert currently has a record of 11 wins and 3 losses, including 9 KO/TKO wins and 1 surrender. Nicknamed "The Black Zone Boxer (the Black Zone is a highly industrially concentrated area of England's Midwest centered in Birmingham)," Herbert was born in Wolverhampton, a satellite town of Birmingham, Britain's second-largest city, and is of Jamaican descent. He worked as a scaffolding worker for 14 years, and after starting his fighting career, he continued to work other part-time jobs to supplement his family. With the two-time winner of cage warriors (CW), the largest MMA event in the British Peninsula, he signed with the UFC in 2020, and then won only 1 win and 2 losses, and the first leg of the last game TKO ended the victory over Camar. Worthy.
Elias. Topria currently has a record of 11 wins and 0 losses, including 3 KO/TKO wins and 7 surrenders. Nicknamed "Matador", the 15th-largest player in the current featherweight class has a more complex background, was born in the German city of Halle, and his parents are Georgian. At the age of 7, he moved back to Georgia to start training in classical wrestling, and at the age of 15, his family settled in the province of Alicante on the southeast coast of Spain, and now has dual Georgian and Spanish citizenship. Winner of the Spanish Mix Fight Events (MFE), he landed in the octagon cage in 2020 and then scored three consecutive wins before koing in the first leg of the last match. Hall.
Before the game, the bookmakers were extremely optimistic about Topria's victory. A new generation undefeated rising star, Topria has a barreau black belt, a classical wrestling background and a highly explosive standing heavy strike level, and is good at continuously creating pressure on opponents and completing combination strikes at the same time as pressing forward. When fighting, he has a strong ability to grasp opportunities in advantageous positions, and the first leg finish rate is very high. At present, what bothers him most is that he has many weight loss problems, from the weight level of the chicks all the way up to the lightweight level, and the opponent's body shape hardware disadvantage is becoming more and more outrageous, and the height and arm span disadvantage of this field has reached more than 15 cm. The battle was a temporary replacement for injured retired Mike. Davis, whose preparation cycle is less than a month, still chooses to train with the Climent Club team in the Spanish province of Alicante, and he is personally optimistic about Topria's victory.
Herbert has a significant height and arm span advantage in this field, is a serious standing strike series player, his front hand ranging and then the back fist is extremely fast and accurate, can be regarded as a must kill, the leg anti-low sweep ability is average, the anti-fall ability is extremely poor. Before the match, he prepared for the team of Team Renegade BJJ in the United Kingdom, and also played with the joint main player of this issue, Arnold. Allen trained together. This is the second of the recommended must-see matches before the White Dana match
#2 Main Card Main Race Women's FlyWeight
Molly. McCann vs. Luvana Carolina
Molly. McCann currently has a record of 11 wins and 4 losses, including 4 KO/TKO wins. Nicknamed "Meatballs", the sandwich-loving girl was born in Liverpool, britain's "Beatles hometown". Born into a broken family, his father has been unheard of for years and his mother has a drug abuse habit. Initially trained in standing skills such as karate, taekwondo, boxing and Muay Thai, he has a 5-year background in football and is a die-hard Fan of Everton in the Premier League. With the domestic event shock (Shock n' Awe abbreviated as SNA) and cage Warriors (Cage Warriors abbreviated as CW) women's flyweight champion, she signed with UFC in 2018, and then won 4 wins and 3 losses (1 bonus), and defeated Kim Ji-yeon unanimously in the last game.
Luwana. Carolina currently has a record of 8 wins and 2 losses, including 2 KO/TKO wins and 1 surrender. Nicknamed "Fear," Carolina comes from São Paulo, Brazil's largest city. In 2018, he was invited to participate in the third season of the White Dana Challenger Series Brazil, and entered the octagon cage with a unanimous victory, and then won 3 wins and 1 loss, and defeated Lupita in the last game. Godines.
Before the game, the bookmakers were slightly bullish on McCann winning. As a main stand-up player, McCann, although some congenitally less than five short stature, can hit the frequency, accuracy and strike defense rate are in the order of magnitude leading level. The strength of the Baloo Purple Belt is weaker in its anti-fall and ground fighting strength. Trained before the game for the Next Generation MMA team in their hometown of Liverpool.
And Karolina's hardware talent is at the top level in the female flyweight, and the opponent in this game is completely two extremes. It is accustomed to using the advantage of leg length to attack from a long distance, and the rubbing point level is outstanding when the inner corner is forced, but the effect of heavy blows is poor. The fall resistance when back-controlling the edge of the cage is very good, up to 88%. Good physical reserves, good at reversing the situation in the middle and late stages. Trained before the game for my Capital da Luta team in São Paulo, Brazil. Personally, I think that as an emotional player, "Meatball" McCarhn is likely to erupt into a stronger fighting force with the help of his hometown father and elders, and is optimistic about McCarthy winning.
#3 Main Card Main Race Middleweight
Güner. Nelson vs. Ten Sato
Güner. Nelsson currently has a record of 17 wins, 5 losses and 1 draw, including 4 KO/TKO wins and 12 surrenders. Nicknamed "Gunni", Nelsson was born in Akureyri, the second largest city in northern Iceland, and moved to the capital Reykjavik as a child. He began training in Gang-Rou-ry karate at the age of 13 and switched to Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training at the age of 17, achieving great results in all major world-class jiu-jitsu competitions. He signed for the UFC in 2012 and lost 8-5 (4 bonuses), losing unanimously to Gilbert in the last game. Burns.
Sato's current record is 15 wins and 4 losses, including 11 KO/TKO wins and 2 surrenders. The official nickname "Ten", Sato Ten, is from Shinjuku Ward, Tokyo, Japan, and his mother is a Taiwanese native. Like many Japanese two-dimensional teenagers, I began judo training under the influence of hot-blooded manga. In 2019, he entered the octagon cage, after a 2-2 win, and was defeated by Miguel 2 in the last game. Baeza's arm was defeated by a triangular strangulation suit.
Before the game, the bookmakers were extremely optimistic about Nelson's victory. After two and a half years of absence, Nelsson finally returned from semi-retirement and renewed his contract with the UFC. Nelson has a rigid soft flow karate black belt and a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt two stages. Like most geniuses, the long-established "Icelandic prodigy" also has a lot of quirks, such as not liking to wear boxing sets to train, extremely rejecting weight loss, and generally competing at daily weights. In addition, he also has a personality on the field, even if he shakes his opponent, he will persistently choose jiu-jitsu to surrender. In preparation for this return, the Mjölnir MMA team in his hometown of Reykjavik was selected to open the training camp, and the visual inspection was quite hard.
Due to the original contestant Claudio. Silva retired from the game with a knee injury, and Sato was less than two weeks away from the start of the game and came off the bench. The Chinese-Japanese hybrid with two legs of judo black belt, the output mode is mainly standing strikes, the same use of karate stand, 1-2 combos of the killing effect is good, but the arsenal is relatively single, the lack of follow-up changes after the opponent adapts to the rhythm in the middle and late stages. When fighting, the defense awareness is poor, there is a tendency to send back, and the defense of the left hook fist also has a large loophole. He currently trains for a long time with the Sanford MMA team in Florida, USA. Personally, I think the key to this game is whether the main battlefield is standing or fighting, although the temporary substitute Sato Tendou IQ is several levels worse than the opponent, but it remains to be seen whether the combat effectiveness of Nellsson, who has been out of the system training, can maintain a few percent of his combat effectiveness after his return. If Sato Can avoid getting into a fight, there will be room for counterattack. Cautiously optimistic about Sato Tensen's cold win.
#4 Main Card Main Race Lightweight
Paddy. Pomblit vs. Rodrigo Vargas
Paddy. Pinblitt currently has a record of 17 wins and 3 losses, including 6 KO/TKO wins and 7 surrenders. Nicknamed "Bad Bad", the popular fried chicken was born in Liverpool, England, with the same classic hairstyle as the legendary hometown band Beatles, and looks exactly like band member Paul. Mccartney. He is a die-hard loyalist to Premier League side Liverpool, because the Hillsborough massacre deeply hates the rumor-mongering "The Sun". Winner of the Cage Warriors ( CW ) featherweight title in the largest tournament in the Uk, he signed with the UFC in 2021 and made his debut KO to end the victory over Luigi. Wendramini.
Rodrigo. Vargas currently has a record of 12 wins and 4 losses, including 7 KO/TKO wins and 3 surrenders. The veteran, nicknamed "Kazura," comes from Mexico City, mexico's capital. In the early years, Luta Livra ( a Freestyle wrestling in Brazil , which competed in the last century and competed with Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to seize the market , was popular in slums because it didn't need to buy expensive costumes). In 2019, he entered the octagon cage, and only won 1 win and 2 losses after that, and the last game was unanimously judged to defeat the mainland player.
The pre-match bookmakers were extremely bullish on Pomblit. This Liverpool guy who is familiar with self-marketing, whether from the style, interview eloquence, chasing traffic ability reflects his potential to become the next out-of-the-circle superstar, of course, the most lacking at present is a strong record. The passion unleashed during the octagonal cage's debut is indeed exciting, but it is not worth ignoring the huge hidden dangers of its head defense, and it is actually better at wrestling with a black belt than standing. The Next Generation MMA team in his hometown prepared for the match before the match, and played again with teammate "Meatball" Molly after the fight night 191 (but the two were fans of the same city rivals Everton and Liverpool - --).
As a veteran with extremely low frequency of matches, Vargas knows him mostly because he once played against mainland players on UFC 261. Although the technology is comprehensive, there are no prominent points in various fields, and the overall situation is relatively mediocre. The standing level is relatively solid and diverse, and the defense is tough. In the field of entanglement, it has a Luta Livra black belt, which is weaker in fall resistance and the surrender technique is slightly stiffer. Before the game, the teams trained around the UFC PI Center in Las Vegas, and the sparring members included Rubins, the god of Barou, known as the "old snake" in the field of jiu-jitsu. Charles "Rubens Cobrinha Charles". Personally, I am optimistic about The Win of Pomblitus, and I have a hunch that it may end in a surrendering manner.
#5 Co-Main Event Joint Mainsweight
Arnold. Alan vs. Dan Hooke
Arnold. Allen currently has a record of 17 wins and 1 loss, including 5 KO/TKO wins and 4 surrenders. Nicknamed the "All-Rounder", he is now ranked No. 7 in the featherweight class and was born in Suffolk, in the east of England. He began training MMA as a teenager and was sentenced to probation in 2016 for being involved in a brawl that injured 1 man and five women. A lightweight champion of the M4TC in the local competition, he signed with the UFC in 2015, after winning eight consecutive wins (2 bonuses), and defeated Sodick unanimously in the last game. Yusuf.
cinnabar. Hooke currently has a record of 21 wins and 11 losses, including 10 KO/TKO wins and 7 surrenders. The "executioner" from Auckland, New Zealand's largest city, has won the lightweight championships of his hometown tournament Supremacy Fighting Championship (SFC) and Australian FC early in his career, and has also participated in the Chinese martial arts legend (naked hanging lost to Wu Haotian, TKO defeated Wu Chengjie), and entered the octagon cage in 2014. Featherweights achieved a record of 3 wins and 3 losses (1 bonus) and returned to the lightweights in 2017, followed by a 7-4 record (4 bonuses), and was defeated by Islam. Makhachev Kimura Lock surrendered and defeated.
The pre-match bookmakers were very slightly optimistic about Allen winning. The host player knows how to use his strengths to compete with his opponent's weak points, a trait that also reflects his versatility. Although it has accumulated eight consecutive wins in the UFC, this game is the real test of its power ceiling. The left hand hook fist and the left leg high sweep are the powder magazines they rely on the most, and their ability to terminate is weak. The training camp was selected from the well-known British team BKK Fighter.
Hooke's height and arm span in this field are absolutely dominant. High sweep, left hook punch, up step knee strike are its signature actions, but the torso resistance ability is average, easy to be hit by abdominal punch or mid-sweep liver kick kill, in recent years the game has developed a certain ground entanglement ability, especially for the understanding of lateral suppression technology, making full use of the waist span force stability control with ground smashing surprise, of course, in front of strong wrestlers such as Makhachev. This game is Hooke's return to the featherweight class after five years, and the pre-match training camp still chooses to prepare for the competition at the Kickboxing Academy in the city with "Black Dragon" Adisaya. Individuals are cautious about allen winning.
#6 Main Event Headlines Main Heavyweight
Alexander. Volkov vs. Tom Aspinor
Alexander. Volkov currently has a record of 34 wins and 9 losses, including 22 KO/TKO wins and 3 surrenders. The official nickname "Drago", now ranked No. 7 in the heavyweight category, was born in moscow, the Russian capital. Because he was once second only to the "skyscraper" Struve among the UFC players, he was affectionately called "the second floor" by Chinese martial arts fans. Having recorded victories in both The Bellator, the second largest MMA event in North America, and M-1 Global, the largest event in russia, he signed with the UFC in 2016 and won 8 wins and 3 losses (3 bonuses), and the last game was unanimously decided to beat Malchin. Dibra.
Tom. Aspinor currently has a record of 11 wins and 2 losses, including 9 KO/TKO wins and 2 surrenders. The current Heavyweight No. 11 player is from Greater Manchester, England, with Polish ancestry. He began training in martial arts at the age of 7, began to transition to Brazilian jiu-jitsu after learning boxing and wrestling, won the national jiu-jitsu championship with all the colors except the black belt, and is currently training for a long time in the Liverpool branch of the Team Kaobon team, father Andy. Aspinor is the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu instructor at the museum. With a strong performance in the British home country CW and BAMMA, he landed in the octagon cage in 2020, and then achieved a stunning performance of four consecutive final wins (3 bonuses), and the TKO final defeated Sergey in the first leg of the last match. Spivak.
Before the game, the bookmakers were slightly bullish on Aspinor winning. Long story short, the logic of this game is very simple. Volkov is a battle-tested veteran with a solid top-five goalkeeper level, and his UFC career has only lost to "Black Beast" Lewis, "Razor" Blaise and "Good Boy" Garne, three players with the ability to challenge the championship. Aspinor, on the other hand, is a mesozoic player who has not yet encountered difficulties and is on the rise, and I had earlier put Cyril. Garnet, Chris. Daucus was seen as a troika that propelled heavyweight gears. Now that two of them have suffered setbacks, we need to think about whether Aspinor's absolute strength has reached the top three levels of heavyweight.
Aspinor's four consecutive quick-ending matches have left the outside world worried about whether there would be physical distress in the five-legged headline battle once they reached an impasse. This question is to judge as Ifinol, like the "iron-blooded" Engano, does not need to show more comprehensiveness, and can end the battle at the level of heavy blows. Or is it actually a fresh move, eat all over the sky type of players. Personally, I am inclined to the previous judgment, and this game is cautiously optimistic about Aspinor's victory.
