This past week, the UFC either announced or finalized 14 fights, and a clash of ranked bantamweight contenders has been confirmed for early next year. Marlon Moraes and Song Yadong are expected to meet in March, with a location and venue not yet determined. The one-time title challenger hopes to snap a three-fight losing streak, while the Team Alpha Male product looks to build on his momentum following wins over Casey Kenney and Julio Arce.
Bellator has a pivotal welterweight fight between Neiman Gracie and Logan Storley planned for Bellator 274 in February. Known for his jiu-jitsu prowess, Gracie recently earned the first knockout of his professional career, an 87-second TKO of Mark Lemminger at Bellator 266. At Bellator 265, Storley rebounded from a loss to Yaroslav Amosov and defeated Dante Schiro by split decision.
