The Complete Guide to UFC on Fox 24: Johnson vs. Reis

The UFC heads to Kansas City, Missouri, with a stacked offering on Fox this Saturday, April 15. In the main event, longtime flyweight champion Demetrious Johnson looks to tie the UFC record for title defenses with his 10th victory, facing veteran compe…

While the main event is compelling, largely because Johnson is such an incredible and accomplished talent with history in his sights, it’s the rest of the card that makes this must-see TV.

The co-main event features an outstanding strawweight fight, potentially a title eliminator, between former top contender Rose Namajunas and the surging Michelle Waterson. It’s a crackerjack of a matchup and one with real meaning.

The same is true for the third fight on the main card, a meeting of elite middleweights between Ronaldo Souza and Robert Whittaker. Souza has been one of the best 185-pounders on the planet for the last decade, and Whittaker is the most talented young fighter in the division.

The rest of the event features strong and meaningful action. The main-card opener between Jeremy Stephens and Renato Moicano should be a barn-burner, and practically every fight on the undercard is well-matched and compelling.

Keep an eye on the Fight Pass bout between Aljamain Sterling and Augusto Mendes and the debut of uber-prospect Tom Duquesnoy on the early Fox prelims.

Let’s dig into each fight.

Six Title Contenders Who Could Emerge From UFC on FOX 23

UFC on FOX 23 is set to take place this weekend (Sat., Jan. 28, 2016) live on FOX from thePepsi Center in Denver, Colorado, and although it may be getting overlooked a bit, it could hold major title ramifications. The card, which is set to be headlined by a women’s bantamweight bout between top-ranked contenders

The card, which is set to be headlined by a women’s bantamweight bout between top-ranked contenders Valentina Shevchenko and Julianna Pena, features a plethora of rising competitors in various divisions and a few exciting bouts.

The stakes will undoubtedly be high this weekend at the Pepsi Center, so without further ado, let’s take a look at six title contenders who could potentially emerge from UFC on FOX 23:

Valentina Shevchenko

After brutally finishing longtime divisional mainstays Miesha Tate and Ronda Rousey, Amanda Nunes has staked her claim as the reigning 135-pound queen, and the division is currently wide-open. Because of that, UFC on FOX 23’s main event between No. 1-ranked Shevchenko and No. 2-ranked Pena is a pivotal bout with major title implications.

Shevchenko has actually met Nunes before, dropping a unanimous decision to the current titleholder at UFC 196 last March. Aside from that loss, however, “Bullet” has won two of her last three bouts, with her most recent victory being a highly impressive and one-sided decision over former champion Holly Holm.

The Russian is a decorated Muay Thai kickboxer, holding a 58-2 record. She has a tremendous sense of distance and uses effective movement, which aids her in picking opponents apart. “Bullet’s” submission game is also respectable, as five of her 13 wins have come by way of submission.

If Shevchenko can indeed get by Pena this weekend, it wouldn’t be surprising to see her get the next shot at Nunes.
