This Saturday night the UFC returns to Boston, MA for what should be an incredible night of fights.
We have two title fights on tap, the finals of The Ultimate Fighter, and an undefeated Irishman looking to continue his rise up the rankings.
First on the Prelims we have the Finals for the Ultimate Fighter as Brad Katona will take on Cody Gibson in the Bantamweight Final. Then we have Austin Hubbard and Kurt Holobaugh facing off in the Lightweight Final.
There seems to be some bad blood between Katona and Gibson as we saw on the finale episode of the show. That should make this fight can’t miss and I fully expect it to deliver.
Austin Hubbard and Kurt Holobaugh seem to have a mutal respect for each other but that should still be an extremely exciting fight to watch.
Then on the Main Card things get even more juicy with undefeated Ian Garry taking on Neil Magny in a welterweight bout. Garry looks to remain undefeated and has been dominate in his fights so far.
This was Garry’s last fight and I expect more of the same come Saturday night.
In our first of two Championship fights the women take center stage as Zhang Weili defends her Strawweight Title against Amanda Lemos.
Finally in the main event “Sugar” Sean O’Malley gets his first chance at UFC gold as he takes on Aljamain Sterling for the UFC Bantamweight Championship.
The “Suga Show” looks to silence his haters and reign supreme, while Aljamian Sterling looks to prove that he is no fluke.
This fight should be electric as has everyone of O’Malley’s fights have been so far. I expect Sterling to try and get this fight to the ground fairly early, while O’Malley will look to get the finish on the feet.
Saturday night should be a great night of fights, and while this card has had its share of bad luck with fighters having to drop out there will still be some great action and it’ll be worth the watch.
