On Wednesday, the UFC held a media conference for the upcoming UFC Fight Night 147 card, which takes place March 16 at The O2 Arena in London, England. A range of bouts have previously been revealed with this card, including the most important event between Darren Until and Jorge Masvidal and also the co-main occasion between Leon Edwards and Gunnar Nelson, also in the press conference the UFC revealed the newest batch of preliminary spells.
Joseph Duffy vs. Marc Diakese, UFC Fight Night 147
Lightweights Joseph Duffy and Marc Diakese match in what should be an exciting bout between two strikers. NewsomeMMA first reported the news that Diakese is filling in for the injured Stevie Ray. Duffy (16-3) is currently 4-2 at the UFC but has not fought since a 2017 KO loss to James Vick. He is among the few men to conquer Conor McGregor. Diakese (12-3) is 2-3 at the UFC but those 3 losses have come in his last few outings. The UFC is providing Duffy a winnable battle here against a really beatable competition in Diakese, and I fully anticipate Duffy to open as a sizable favorite.
Nathaniel Wood vs. Jose Quinonez, UFC Fight Night 147
Rising bantamweight star Nathaniel Wood will aim to keep his win streak when he takes on Jose Quinonez. Wood (15-3) is on a seven-fight win streak complete with submission wins in the UFC over Johnny Eduardo and Andre Ewell. Quinonez (7-2) is currently 4-1 in the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Teruto Ishihara. I know Quinonez is about a nice win series but to me this is a major mismatch and it looks like a battle that the UFC reserved as a way to get Wood an impressive win in the front of the British lovers.
Danny Henry vs. Dan Ige, UFC Fight Night 147
Featherweights Danny Henry and Dan Ige will meet on this card. Henry (12-2) is on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 in the UFC with a submission win over Hakeem Dawodu in his last outing. Ige (10-2) is 3-1 at the UFC and defeated Jordan Griffin via conclusion in his final bout. Though Ige has been solid from the UFC, I think Henry has the higher ceiling and I’d tend to favor him .
Nad Narimani vs. Mike Grundy, UFC Fight Night 147
Top featherweight prospect Nad Narimani yields this when he takes on UFC newcomer Mike Grundy. Narimani (12-2) is on a five-fight win series and is 2-0 so much in the UFC. Grundy (11-1) is a veteran of ACB and is riding an eight-fight win streak into this occasion. Grundy has a remarkable record but given the degree of competition I would have to favor Narimani here.
Arnold Allen vs. Jordan Rinaldi, UFC Fight Night 147
And lastly, there is an interesting featherweight bout between Arnold Allen and Jordan Rinaldi. Allen (13-1) is 4-0 in the UFC and is riding a six-fight winning streak overall. But he has been frequently injured and usually fights just annually. Rinaldi (14-6) is 2-2 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Jason Knight. Even though Allen is coming from a long layoff I would still have to favor him very heavily to defeat Rinaldi.
