UFC makes its return to the Apex Centre in Las Vegas, and it’ll be headlined by an exciting rematch for the flyweight title.
Not only that, but Australia’s own Jack Della Maddalena returns to the octagon in the co-main event.
Our full UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs Shevchenko 2 Tips & Preview can be found below.
Alexa Grasso vs Valentina Shevchenko 2
Tip: Valentina Schevchenko via Points @ TBC
The top ranked flyweight Valentina Schevchenko makes her return to the octagon to take on the champion Alexa Grasso in a well anticipated rematch for the UFC Flyweight title.
Having both last fought each other on March 5, the two flyweight powerhouses are set to light up the stage up once again in Las Vegas.
Valentina “Bullet” Shevchenko is a fighter feared by many, but that’s not the case for the champion who is the only fighter to submit the number one ranked flyweight.
In Valentina’s eight successful title fights, she’s won four by way of points and four by way of knockout.
Although this will be a bout I’m really excited for, I believe it’ll be one way traffic for the former flyweight champion.
Kevin Holland vs Jack Della Maddalena
Tip: Kevin Holland via KO/TKO @ TBC
Australia’s own Jack Della Maddalena makes his return to the octagon and he’s taking on the well respected and the number 13 ranked welterweight Kevin “Trailblazer” Holland.
The West Australian born number 14 ranked welterweight is the favourite in this bout, and I believe with this will be tough fight for Maddalena.
With a combined 25 wins by way of knockout between the fighters’ 39 victories, this is a bout you don’t want to miss.
On top of those knockout wins, Holland seven submissions and 12 first round finishes.
The 30-year-old is the underdog in this bout and I believe he has what it takes to win it.
Raul Rosas Jr vs Terrence Mitchell
Tip: Raul Rosas Jr. via points @ TBC
Raul Rosa Jr makes his much-anticipated return to the octagon, and he’ll be taking on Terrence “Terr-Bear” Mitchell.
The youngest UFC fighter has five first round finishes to his name as well as four wins by submission and the other coming by way of knockout.
However, when you look at his opponent, Terrence Mitchell has eight wins by knockout, six by submission and 12 first round finishes.
I expect Raul “El Nino Problema” Rosas Jr to take Mitchell to the ground early and attempt to outwork him on the mat.
However Mitchell has terrific takedown defence and remarkable defence on the ground.
I see this bout going the distance in favour of the 18-year-old, Raul Rosas Jr.
