3 fights to look forward to and 2 that will likely disappoint at UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont

Fight that will likely disappoint at UFC Fight Night 195: Andrew Sanchez vs. Bruno Silva

At UFC Fight Night: Ladd vs. Dumont, middleweights Andrew Sanchez and Bruno Silva will collide in the featured matchup on the preliminary card.

Sanchez will attempt to return to the win column after being brutally knocked out by Makhmud Muradov in January. The winner of The Ultimate Fighter season 23 had a promising start to his UFC career, bagging two straight wins against Khalil Rountree and Trevor Smith.

Unfortunately, Sanchez's career never really took off after he fell short against some of the top contenders in the middleweight division. Sanchez's most notable opponents were former title challengers Anthony Smith and Marvin Vettori. However, he was proven unprepared for elite competition and lost to both.

Meanwhile, Silva made his promotional debut earlier this year to end a two-and-a-half-year absence. 'Blindado' made an impressive first impression against fellow Brazilian Wellington Turman at UFC on ESPN 25. Silva put his ferocity on display when he pummeled his compatriot with vicious ground-and-pound strikes to earn the TKO.

This UFC Fight Night 195 bout has the makings of an intriguing matchup. However, Sanchez has been inconsistent as of late and might not be able to deliver. For that reason, this fight could disappoint.

Fight to look forward to at UFC Fight Night 195: Andrei Arlovski vs. Carlos Felipe

Former heavyweight champion Andrei Arlovski has made a fool out of Father Time in his last few contests. With the exception of Tom Aspinall, the veteran has made it a habit to derail the careers of up-and-coming heavyweights. On Saturday, another surging youngster will test Arlovski as Carlos Felipe looks for his fourth win inside the octagon.

The 42-year-old Arlovski has been a mainstay in the heavyweight division. He has been thriving as a gatekeeper in the division's top 15 in recent years. 'The Pitbull' has won three of his last five bouts, serving as a litmus test for aspiring contenders.

Last time out, Arlovski stepped in on short notice against Chase Sherman. Although the odds were not in his favor, Arlovski silenced his critics when he schooled Sherman through three rounds and walked away with a unanimous decision win.

Meanwhile, Felipe has bounced back after serving a two-year suspension. Since then, the Brazilian has amassed three straight victories over Yorgan de Castro, Justin Tafa and Jake Collier.

At UFC Fight Night 195, Felipe will get an opportunity to prove that he's ready to take his career to the next level. A triumph against Arlovski would definitely be an encouraging sign of things to come for the young heavyweight.
