UFC Fight Night: Matheus Nicolau vs Alex Perez Preview

UFC Fight Night is back in the APEX where Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez will headline in the feature bout and boy, will this be a bout you don’t want to miss.

My full UFC Fight Night Preview can be found below.

Matheus Nicolau vs Alex Perez
Nicolau via points.

Matheus Nicolau and Alex Perez will go toe to toe this weekend in what will be a top-notch main event for fight fans.

Nicolau was last seen in a first-round defeat to Brandon Royval and is looking to jump back into the winner’s circle.

Perez hasn’t been in the best of form, losing three in a row to Deiveson Figueirdo, Brandon Royval and Muhammad Mokaev.

I expect a dominant performance by Matheus Nicolau this weekend that will go to the judge’s scorecards for a decision.

Nicolau has won five of his last seven fights by decision and for that reason, a dabble on the points market is the play for me.

Ryan Spann vs Bodgan Guskov
Ryan Spann to win via KO/TKO or Submission.

Ryan Spann will put his number 11 ranking on the line this weekend in an underrated bout against the feared Bogdan Guskov.

Spann hasn’t been seen since August last year after a shock defeat to Anthony Smith.

In Spanns last 5 succesful bouts, the big fella has had an 80% finish rate.

A look at the double chance market will be where I’m heading and Ryan Spann via KO/TKO or submission sounds like the right idea to me.

Ariane Lipski vs Karine Silva
Karine Silva to win via Submission.

My shoe in for Fight Of the Night and Performance of The Night this weekend, two absolute savages by the names of Ariane Lipski and Karine Silvas will go to war in what be an epic bout.

For a fighter who’s three fights into her UFC career, Silvas is making an incredible impact in the flyweight division.

The woman they call ‘Killer’ is on an eight-fight unbeaten run and winning seven of those via submission, I can’t go past her winning by way of submission.
