After a solid two-event serving in January, the UFC circus hits the road with 12-consecutive weekends of events headed your way. The first of which sees the UFC touch down in Saudi Arabia once again, bringing with them a pair of middleweight headliners that are sure to produce fireworks.
A rough start to his UFC career with a submission loss to Volkan Oezdemir has made way for back-to-back knockout victories for Guskov. Guskov is a power punching menace who loves to pressure and crash the pocket with his shots. His grappling is a bit suspect, as was exposed by Oezdemir and a bit by Spann, but if he can keep his opponents on their back foot, he has a better time of staying upright.
The UFC absolutely delivered on their first event of the year last week, which now makes way for their first PPV card of the year. Headlined by two title fights, the promotion heads to Los Angeles amidst the ongoing wildfires. Many believe the decision to keep the event in LA is to help boost morale during an unfortunate time for the city.
A rollercoaster of a UFC debut resulted in a victory for Gadzhiyasulov last year, now he tries taking out yet another Brazilian foe. Fighting as you would expect a Magomed to, Gadzhiyasulov uses a grapple heavy approach to nullify the offense of his opponents. Unfortunately, his level of competition and lack of dominant performances makes him not as dangerous as we’ve seen from other fighters that bring his skill set.
And just like that, the holidays are over! The UFC begins their 2025 campaign with a rematch in the main event between straweights. 13 other fights make up the event known as UFC Vegas 101, but none more important or as impactful to their respective divisions than the main event.
It’s a real shame that Davey Grant has not been more active throughout his UFC career. He lost in the TUF 18 Finale back in 2013, then took off 2.5 years, and has only competed 10 times since February 2016. 5 of his last 7 fights saw him earn either a performance or fight of the night bonus. Grant brings a dangerous and unorthodox power striking approach to the table which often takes place inside the pocket where he feels quite comfortable.
