#3. UFC Fight Night: The Main Card
UFC flyweights Brandon Royval and Rogerio Bontorin are also set to feature on the main card. This should be a good fight between two of the division’s more talented fighters. Although Royval has suffered two straight losses, they came against two of the better flyweights in the promotion in Brandon Moreno and Alexandre Pantoja.
Bontorin has some strong wins in his own right. He has beaten the likes of Raulian Paiva and Matt Schnell. Despite this, Royval’s size, power and overall aggression should give him the edge here. Royval via decision is the pick.
At heavyweight, Jake Collier takes on Chase Sherman. Neither of these fighters looks likely to enter title contention any time soon. In fact, it’s somewhat of a question mark how they’ve made the main card given Sherman has lost his last two fights and Collier is 1-2 since the start of 2020.
The bout likely made it to the main card due to the likelihood of it being a brawl, so the only hope is that it doesn't become a slow and crude one. Sherman has a size advantage, though, and has proven that he can hit hard. He’s also not that slow and sloppy for a big man, which should give him the upper hand. Sherman via TKO is the pick.
Finally, Bill Algeo welcomes newcomer Joanderson Brito to the promotion in the featherweight division. Algeo is probably more talented than his UFC record of 1-2 suggests, as he’s both a tricky striker and strong on the ground too.
Brito is more unknown, but he looks like a dangerous prospect. He has finishing skills in all areas and also looks to be a relatively big featherweight. However, he hasn’t yet faced the competition that Algeo has. Therefore, Algeo by decision is the pick.
