Illir Latifi vs. Tyson Pedro
Ryan Bader with his flying knee really put the nail in the coffin by sending Latifi’s already downward headed ranking out of the top ten. Bader has gone on to become the Bellator champ since then and Latifi on the other hand has a chance to make somewhat of a comeback when he faces Tyson Pedro. If Latifi gets the better of Pedro in UFC Fight Night 215, he will find himself back in the top ten and that is probably the only thing on his mind right now!
Ashlee Evans-Smith vs. Sarah Moras
Both these fighters have struggled with their UFC careers thus far. At least for one of them, that is about to change at UFC 215. It is not inexperience which has let them down, both these women have a ton of fights under their belts and have yet failed to showcase any real improvement. From the looks of it, the loser here could be on her way out of UFC and into Invicta. Smith has been fighting regularly but the results haven’t turned out as she may have hoped while on the other hand, Moras has had dry spells while out injured.
Gavin Tucker vs. Rick Glenn
Glenn returned to the UFC on UFC fight night 208, but his returning fight did not go the way he would have hoped. The former WSOF featherweight champ really struggled to get going. On the other hand, Tucker made an impressive UFC debut in February and will look to put on just as impressive a fight when he comes up against Glenn. This is going to be a very unpredictable match up, and we will just have to wait and see how it plays out.
Kajan Johnson vs. Adriano Martins
The infamous Kajan Johnson is back after a two month sabbatical. He was thrown out of the UFC athlete retreat after having rejected the Reebok deal. The question on everyone’s mind is if he has been training and kept himself well conditioned, or has he slipped and gotten out of shape? His opponent is going to be Adriano Martins who has been a consistent performer thus far and will certainly be a worthy challenge for Johnson on his return.
