Fight Predictions: UFC on ESPN+ 47: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai
It looks like tonight's 'UFC on ESPN+ 47: Rozenstruik vs. Sakai' (#UFCVegas28) is coming in unscathed, the full fourteen fights
Out of all the fights, we have three debuts from three 'Legacy Fighting Alliance' @lfafighting standouts!
All on short notice, but it's crazy impressive that Tabatha Ricci (@Tabatha.Ricci) 🇧🇷 🦈 Kamuela Kirk (@TheJawaiian) & Gregory Rodrigues (@gregoryrodriguesmma) 🇧🇷 (the current LFA Middleweight Champ) have stepped up to the big show, to prove that they have what it takes. Not easy fights to take with no prep, as they'll be going against
Manon Fiorot (@ManonFiorot_MMA) 🇫🇷 Makwan Amirkhani (@MakwanUFC) 🇫🇮 & Duško Todorović (@Todorovic_UFC) 🇷🇸 who have all shown to have that killer instinct!
We also have three fighters on the card who could be fighting for their contracts!
Heavyweight Ilir Latifi (@LatifiMMA) 🇸🇪 is on a three fight skid. Now, they've all been against top opposition, but he knows a win is a must. Tanner Boser (@BulldozerBoser) 🇨🇦 on the flip although coming off a loss in his last outing, the buzz on him, an impressive win could really catapult him into a big fight.
Antonio Arroyo (@arroyo_ufc) 🇧🇷 knows he needs to turn things around fast and Tom Breese (#TomBreese) wants to find the consistency to really make a run in the Middleweight division. Laureano Staropoli (@pepilaureanocb) 🇦🇷 like Arroyo has shown promise but has had problems translating it into wins. Roman Dolidze (@romandolidze) 🇬🇪 lost his Middleweight debut but has such a sharp skillset & resume, he's not looking to repeat the experience!
AND then, in the Main Event, Augusto Sakai (@augustosakai) 🇧🇷 & Jairzinho Rozenstruik (@jairzinho.rozenstruik) 🇸🇷 go head to head in a fight that could indicate who might be fighting for a contender ship real soon‼️
