UFC Fight Night - Swanson Vs. Lobov





The main event not many people want to see. The main event is Cub Swanson versus Artem Lobov and many people would be surprised if Lobov wins. Artem has some speed and power and could potentially catch Swanson but with a 13 win and 12 loss record, it would be hard to see him winning. He has 6 finishes in 13 career wins with 4 of those being knockouts. Cub Swanson has only lost to two the top fighters in the division in his last 11 fights. Swanson has 15 finishes in 24 career wins which isn't a good sign for Lobov. The rest of the card has potential to be worth the watch with 12 ranked fighters. Notable fighters fighting are Ovince Saint Preux, Al Iaquinta, John Dodson, Joe Lauzon, Jake Ellenberger and Brandon Moreno. The card has a lot of talent and prospects who could eventually be title contenders.

UFC Fight Night - Rodriguez Vs. Penn



The return of the "The Prodigy"  has finally arrived. Penn last fought in the UFC in 2014, and hasn't won a fight since 2010. He has fought at 3 different weight classes in his career. At the age of 38, He has been far past his prime in fighting. Yair Rodriguez is a young prospect with a ton of talent. With only 1 loss in his career, Rodriguez is ranked #10 in the division. The co-main event should be an exciting grappling match. Marcin Held is one of the best grapplers in the world. Joe Lauzon has been one of the more entertaining fighters to watch. They both have high level jiu-jitsu skill, which will make this one entertaining fight. Another fun fight should be in the flyweight division between two ranked opponents. John Moraga versus Sergio Pettis could give a glimpse of which fighter in 2017 could be fighting for a chance at the title.
