UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy Preview

UFC Fight Night: Barboza vs Murphy Preview

Edson Barboza will be the headline act this Sunday’s UFC Fight Night and he’s set to take on the in-form Lerone Murphy.

Khaos is listed as the favourite on Sunday however, I don’t think you should underestimate Carlston Harris this soon.

After two dominating performances of late, Themba Gormbo is calling out to Dana with the hopes of a ranked opponent in the not to distant future.

I cant wait for this weekend and my thoughts on UFC Fight Night is down below.

Future Hall of Famer Edson Barboza has ticked off plenty of accolades in the lead up to this weekend ranked bout.

The 38-year-old doesn’t have the easiest task ahead of him on Sunday, as he’s taking on Lerone Murphy in what will be a cracking Main Event.

Murphy has been kicking arses since joining the UFC in 2019, with some intriguing stats that all point towards a specific outcome.

Five of Murphy’s last six pro-MMA fights mixed off knockouts and points decisions.

With that in mind, a play on the double chance markets is the way to go for me.

Khaos Willams vs Carlston Harris

2020 gave us the introduction to prolific knockout Khoas Williams after a brutal knockout against saw a dream debut for the 29-year-old.

Since his first bout in the UFC, William’s form has been very mixed.

Nonetheless, Khaos Williams has won knockout or points in his last five successful fights and I cant see it going any other way.

Themba Gorimbo vs Ramiz Brahimaj

South African Themba Gorimbo is coming back into the octagon after a convincing first round 32 second victory and this time he’ll be facing, Ramiz Brahimaj

Brahimaj is also coming off a clinical first-round victory against Michael Gilmore and I’ve found something that’s intriguing to the naked eye.

In his 10 pro fights, Ramiz has won all 10 via submission, with nine of those coming in the very first round – isn’t that interesting?

We don’t see many fighters now a day with a stat line that good and I’m not looking anywhere else besides Ramiz Brahimaj to win via submission in Round 1.
