Race 1 of the main tournament Lightweight

Vink-Pickell vs. Mark Madsen

As one of the representatives of the "prodigal son", Vink-Pitchell, who had been misguided in his youth, began his career at the age of 27, and in 2012, when he participated in the TUF15 selection with a record of seven total wins, he was already 30 years old. Fortunately, Picher, who regained his new life on the field, did not waste the opportunity from the difficult life, in that selection, he cut through the thorns all the way to the final four, although he lost to "Fang Brother" Yakunta in the semifinals, he still won a UFC contract.

After entering the octagon, Pichel played a record of 7 wins and 2 losses, lost to the "Long Island angler" Gillespi, but also defeated the "top labor model" Jim Miller, and now, at the age of 39, he will take three consecutive wins to meet another "older newcomer", the Danish wrestler with 11 full victories, 37-year-old Mark Madsen, two "old boys" with different styles, will continue to fight for themselves in this weekend's arena, to fight for the future.

Race 2 of the main race Women's Grassweight

Mackenzie Dunn (#5) vs. Tesia Torres (#7)

In October last year, Mackenzie Dunn, the "goddess of jiu-jitsu" in a four-game winning streak, decided to lose to Muay Thai master Marina Rodriguez in a master showdown about future challenges, and was forced to stop the upward pace, and now, a new opportunity for ascension is in front of her. "Little Whirlwind" Torres, whose record has fluctuated, but has always been ranked high in the top ten "nail households", will become a key test for Dunn to continue to attack the right to challenge.

Although Torres's physical condition is quite different from Dunn's last opponent, Marina, but the technical and tactical styles of the two have a lot of similarities, for Dunn, the same standing blow-based, the same soft foundation, the same boxing business Torres, almost is Marina's "stout version", and the suspense of this game is to see if Dunn can further break through himself and climb up to continue to move forward in a similar place with the last fall.

Race 3 of the main tournament, middleweight

Gilbert Burns (#2) vs. Hamza-Chimayev (#11)

The story of "The Wolf Is Coming" is being staged step by step on the battlefield of the sub-middleweight, where the masters are gathered and the strongmen are abundant. In 2020, when the "Chechen wolf" Chimayev, who had just arrived, announced his arrival with one crushing victory after another, the sub-middleweight from the champion to the high-ranking player, almost no one believed that this young man who had just entered the octagon cage and had only brushed a few monsters was entitled to be compared with himself.

And now, not only burns, the top man in the second rank, has to face the impact of Chimayev directly, but even the current "nightmare" Usman, who is the inability to solve the problem and at the top of the P4P list, has to face up to the fact that the entire sub-middleweight is already under the threat of this wolf. The current champion does not care about the previous suspicions this time, helping the former teammates who broke down the relationship to prepare for the battle, not to forget the old feelings, but he really hopes that Burns can solve this rapidly rising "future trouble" for himself in advance.

Li Jingliang, the 12th-ranked powerhouse and Chinese hero "Vampire" who finished the first leg in October last year, let everyone truly realize the horror of the "Chechen Wolf", and also let everyone have a better understanding of his style and characteristics. Chimayev's truly most powerful weapon is neither the well-known wrestling technique nor the yet-to-be-tested strike ability, but he not only possesses the top body hardware in the sub-middleweight, but also knows how to use his body's strengths like "Bone" Jones.

Huge size, terrifying strength, top-level wrestling, coupled with simple and practical surrender and strike techniques, so that Chimayev almost has the same bright prospects as Jones, the only thing that may limit the "Chechen wolf" continues to rise is that he has not yet shown - "the ability to face adversity", and the small, but amazing speed, experience, and soft wrestling "little tough guy" Burns is the "ultimate examiner" who tests his future potential and achievements. Whether the story of "The Wolf Is Coming" can finally come true, after watching this game, we will know.

United Mains The JuniorWeight Championships are united

Aljamin Sterling (C) vs. Peter Yan (IC)

The dramatic scene of that race a year ago made the new champion Peter Yan lose the throne of the youngweights, and also let the "Master of Funk" Sterling lie down and realize his "championship dream", and this unexpected result is not destined to be the end of the story. Peter Yan, determined to regain the throne, after defeating the top challenger Sandhagen, once again stepped onto the stage as a temporary champion, and Sterling, who had been recuperating for a year with the title, had to face the former king's menacing "revenge action", this game is not so much a "second battle" between the two sides, but rather a continuation of last year's "unfinished war".

As for the suspense of victory and defeat in this game, it is not necessarily as obvious as the outside world thinks, as a generally optimistic party, Peter Yan's strong strength is beyond doubt, and the suppression of Sterling in the last confrontation was successful enough, but in the case of the other side's unclear situation, everything based on past speculation is likely to be a millimeter and a thousand miles.

Although relying on the rules to win the championship may not seem glorious enough, and the long-term suspension due to injury is even more insufficient, we should note that before last year's game against Peter Yan, Sterling's challenge rights did not fall from the sky, and in the four games before this battle, he defeated four high-ranking players in a row, Starr, Rivera, Muholz and Sandhagen, and as the top representative of the wrestling department, he reached the championship.

Even if Sterling was slightly passive in a battle, the level of strength of the two sides was extremely close. Nowadays, in the face of Peter Yan, who has a distinct technical and tactical style and responds to changes with no change, we do not know whether sterling is now holding the treasure belt he picked up and losing his ambition in the real-life version of "Gollum", or whether he is under pressure from public opinion and looking forward to using tactical adjustments and psychological games to justify his name, and this suspense will also be revealed this weekend along with the final game winner or loser.

Headlines Mains Featherweight Championship Battle

Alexander Volkanovsky (C) vs. Zheng Zansheng (#4)

Although many media and audiences at home and abroad believe that the "cut-in" challenge of "Korean zombies" is only an "appetizer" before the third peak confrontation between "The Emperor" and "Tianyou", in fact, for the current champion, Zheng Zansheng, a "non-popular challenger" with low attendance and average winning rate in recent years, is far more dangerous than it seems.

Long before "Tianyou" and "The Great" became famous, the "Korean zombies" who entered the UFC earlier than them set off a big "Asian storm" in the octagonal cage. In 2011, the 24-year-old Zheng Zansheng entered the UFC with a professional record of 10 wins and 3 losses, and in the following year, with a wave of amazing three consecutive wins, he became one of the most anticipated "genius new stars" in the featherweight class.

The first game staged the first "tornado twist" in the history of the UFC, the second game 7 seconds KO win, the third "Darth twist" to subdue the "diamond" Povalier, such a nearly perfect "dream start", let the young "Korean zombie" fame, but also let him get the first time in his life, the opportunity to hit the UFC championship belt. Unfortunately, the upward momentum of "Shuangwen" did not last long, and the failure to challenge "King" Odo in 2013, and the subsequent four years of Korean military service, kept him away from the UFC arena for a long time, almost completely disappearing from the global audience' vision.

In 2017, the 30-year-old "Korean zombie" finally returned to the field after completing his military service, and officially announced his return in the first round of the return battle, KO top ten masters Bermudez. Since then, Zheng Zansheng, who has returned to the ranks of the championship, has played a record of 3 wins and 2 losses, defeating powerful figures such as Mojcano, "Squirrel" Edgar, Dan Igo, and also losing to "popular stars" such as Rodriguez and "T City" Ortega.

Today's "Korean zombies" have gradually lost the sharpness and vigor of that year, but also with the accumulation of years and experience, they have become more calm and old-fashioned, although they have not yet reached the peak combat strength of the champion players such as "King", "Tianyou" and "Emperor", but as one of the most comprehensive all-round warriors in the history of featherweight, Zheng Zansheng is fully capable of seizing any chance to win in front of him.

Therefore, what Alexander, the current champion of Japan and Heaven, now has to do is not to think about how to defeat the former king of the dynasty, Holoway, who is "haunted", but to put away all contempt and neglect, and use the state of the enemy and the cautious alertness when facing "Heavenly Blessing" and "T City" to ensure that his grand cause is not destroyed by "accidents"...
