April marks the beginning of some truly mind – boggling action that is set to grace the Octagon over the course of the rest of the year. Just a quick glance at the fights that are scheduled to take place will in Amazing April will have you excited for what is now just around the corner.
The next three weekends especially are going to be absolutely nail biting as the Ultimate Fighting Championship is all prepped up to deliver an astonishing trio of events on three separate television platforms, namely, FOX sports 1, FOX and Pay – Per – View. All the fights that will take place over the course of the next three weekends are hugely significant in terms of divisional rankings and hence one can expect nothing but the absolute best from all of the fighters that are expected to take part.
A couple of the fights that will happen in the near future that are especially worth a special mention are
- Gabriel Gonzaga vs. Derrick Lewis – this will be second to only the headline and final fight on the night. The fight will put former title challenger who is now looking to go on a winning streak and challenge for the ton ten rankings against another fighter who himself is looking to crack into the top 15 rankings.
Gonzaga vs Lewis is surely one fight you will not want to miss.
- Demetrious Johnson vs. Henry Cejudo – even though all spot lights are on Jon Jones vs Saint Preux, UFC fight night 197 has other great fights to offer too. Johnson vs Cejudo is a close one on paper and will be interesting in the octagon too. “Mighty Mouse” is regarded as one of the best technical fighters in the sport and has turned back every single opponent that has challenged him till now and will be looking to achieve the same when he faces Cejudo too. However, Cejudo himself is high on confidence and has made steady progress up the ranking table and will be looking to keep his good form going.
