Nate Maness and Tony Gravely will finally meet at UFC Fight Night 192 this weekend after their scheduled clash earlier this year was scrapped. This matchup has the makings to be one of the best fights of the night.

Maness has seen nothing but success in his UFC stint thus far, earning a unanimous decision win over Johnny Munoz Jr. last August. He followed that up with an impressive submission victory over Luke Sanders in November.

Meanwhile, Gravely dropped his octagon debut to Welsh stalwart Brett Johns in 2020, but has recovered with consecutive victories. The Contender Series alum edged Geraldo de Freitas Jr. at UFC Fight Night 182. He then earned a second-round stoppage win against Anthony Birchak in his most recent outing.

Currently, Gravely is one of the best bantamweights outside the rankings. Come fight night, Maness should be an opponent he could take care of without trouble. Nevertheless, this fight could turn out to be lopsided and might disappoint.


Fight to look forward to at UFC Fight Night 192: Ion Cutelaba vs. Devin Clark

The co-main event at UFC Fight Night 192 will see two promising light heavyweights go at it. Ion Cutelaba and Devin Clark will look to take one step closer to cracking the 205-pound division rankings when they lock horns.

Cutelaba has struggled to find his footing of late. He's coming off back-to-back losses and a no-contest heading into Saturday's event. Despite his recent setbacks, Cutelaba is still a promising fighter who has only lost to ranked opponents.

Meanwhile, Clark had a successful start to 2020, beating Dequan Townsend and Alonzo Menifield. However, the 31-year-old had his momentum shattered when he lost to main eventer Anthony Smith. Clark has shown flashes of brilliance, but has faltered so far against ranked opposition, much like his opponent.

Cutelaba vs. Clark is a brilliant piece of UFC matchmaking. It's a fight that serves as a litmus test for both fighters. With two determined young guns set to clash in the co-main event, we can expect nothing short of an action-packed matchup.
