#4. Benoit St. Denis vs. Niklas Stolze
Two welterweight fighters on the better side of their thirties will look to jump back into the win column at the expense of one another. Niklas Stolze entered the UFC in 2020 and has been given no easy matchups for his two bouts in the promotion. Fighting the likes of Ramazan Emeev and Jared Gooden, 'Green Mask' is not only coming off of his first stoppage loss, but the first losing streak of his career.
Opposite the 29-year-old is Benoit St. Denis. At 26 years of age, this Frenchman has a pension to get the finish. He's won 7 of his 8 wins via submission and lays claim to a 100% finishing rate. His last bout didn't go his way, however. This unanimous decision loss was very controversial, as many thought the fight should've been stopped, and marked the first hiccup in the career of St. Denis.
What's really interesting about this fight is that both fighters are relatively green and coming off of losses. The talent and potential are both there, but this bout may boil down to who truly wants to win more.
#3. Joe Solecki vs. Alex da Silva Coelho
The lightweight division is the most stacked division in the UFC right now. Though there's no official champion at the moment due to Charles Oliveira missing weight, the division is steeped in talent and has a laundry list of contenders that are looked at as future champions.
Not quite in the rankings, but the division's talent will be on full display as Joe Solecki and Alex da Silva Coelho battle it out. At 26-years-old, the Brazilian 'Leko' looks to jump back into the win column following his loss to feared striker Brad Riddell. With 13 wins by knockout and 7 by submission, da Silva Coelho has finished all but one of his professional wins.
Opposite to the profound finisher is Joe Solecki. Though he's significantly less experienced on paper, victories against seasoned veterans such as Jim Miller and Matt Wiman show that experience doesn't exactly win fights. He even defeated Donald Cerrone in a grappling match. Yet another bout on the card where both participants are still in their twenties and very eager, this has the makings of an all-out war.
