For the second week running, UFC Fight Night will be performed out of the Apex in Las Vegas, headlined by a ranked middleweight bout that could see a new contender in the 185-pound division.
Dan Ige will put his number 13 ranking on the line against Team Alpha Males, Andre Fili, which I think will be a great matchup and a phenomenal challenge for Ige.
The Middleweight division has a new fighter on the glimpse of UFC stardom named Robert Bryczek, who’s shown some terrific promise at Oktagon MMA, MMA Attack and FEN.
How do I see the card playing out?
My thoughts on UFC Fight Night: Hermansson vs Pyfer along with my suggested are down below
Jack Hermansson vs Joe Pyfer
Tip: Pyfer to win first-round knockout.
Joe Pyfer has been a finishing specialist since joining the UFC in 2022.
The 27-Year-Old won his first two bouts via knockout three minutes into the very first round and his last fight ended in a second-round submission.
In Pyfer’s 12 victories, eight have finished by a knockout including four in the first round.
The bookies have not hesitated to make him the clear favourite based on those numbers for the main event.
A first-round knockout for the Middleweight prospect will not only show UFC president Dana White that he’s the real deal, but it will show the entire middleweight division, that this man is not to be messed with.
Dan Ige vs Andre Fili
Tip: Dan Ige to win
Throughout his UFC career, Dan Ige’s form has been up and down, however this Sunday he’s looking to bounce back following a unanimous decision defeat to Bryce Mitchell.
Ige was dominated to the core on the ground and his training camp should be working on improving his takedown defence, in the rare case he needs it.
Which will be helpful for Ige when he’s coming up against Fili.
Andre “Touchy” Fili has a history of taking down his opponents when he’s under pressure and I don’t believe that will change this weekend.
Dan Ige is an all-round superstar with five knockouts, five submissions and six first round finishes.
He’s got the heart, the motivation and the determination to secure the victory and I’ll be taking him to win the fight outright.
Robert Bryczek vs Ihor Potieria
Tip: Robert Bryczek first round KO/TKO
The UFC Middleweight division is set to welcome Polish striker Robert Bryczek who’s been making waves in every promotion he fights under.
The 33-year-old must have cement in his gloves because he’s got unbelievable knockout power that can only be seen to be believed.
Bryczek has a 65% knockout rate in his 17 wins including 5 first-round knockouts in a row.
A clinical debut will not only be a top-notch highlight reel, but it will also get the fans talking about what I think will be one of the best debuts we’ve seen in a long time.
