UFC Fight Night 124 went down tonight (Sunday, January 14, 2018) from the Scottrade Center as the octagon came to St. Louis, MO for the first time. The evening was headlined by a featherweight clash between longtime UFC vet Jeremy Stephens and exciting up-and-comer Doo Ho Choi.

A simmering first round gave way to a break-neck second. Leg kicks, jabs, and occasional punching combinations flew from both men, with “The Korean Superboy” likely edging out the first frame. He opened the second with a front kick to Stephens’ face, and that set off a borderline brawl. Stephens eventually settled into pressuring Choi backward, getting his jab going effectively. A winging right hand clipped and dropped Choi, spelling the beginning of the end. Stephens closed the show with vicious, crushing ground and pound punches and elbows, some standing, some diving. In the third main event spot of his career, Stephens finally got a W, the biggest of his career.

After the original co-feature between Uriah Hall and Vitor Belfort fell out the day of the weigh-ins, flyweights Paige VanZant and Jessica-Rose Clark were promoted to co-headliner duty. Clark got the job done, turning away the kick-happy VanZant with takedowns and top control in the first two rounds. She did not press the wrestling in the final round, though, and paid for it as “12 Guage” Paige teed off with kicks to the body and jumping knees and kicks, some coming perilously close to landing flush. This despite VanZant apparently suffering a broken right arm, seemingly from a spinning back-fist she landed in the second. Clark survived to see the final bell and had done enough work in the first ten minutes to take a unanimous decision.

UFC Fight Night 124 takes place on Sunday Jan. 14 at the Scottrade Center. This event is a highly anticipated one and the fight card is looking tempting to say the least. While the men’s fights are creating a lot of noise, you can rest assured that the female fighters have a show to put up of their own. Paige Van Zant will take on Jessica Rose – Clark in what is set to be a highly competitive, ruthless bout.

Van Zant goes into this fight with a decent record of 7 wins and 3 losses. Nearly half of her victories have come courtesy of unanimous decisions. Her recent form has been confidence inspiring as she has won the 5 of her last 7 competitive fights in the UFC. However, her most recent fight did not quite go as well as she would have hoped and she was beaten by Michelle Waterson back in 2016. Therein lies her next issue – she has not fought since December of 2016. She was scheduled to come up against Jessica Eye, but that fight was cancelled due back injury and some other unexplained reasons. This is VanZant’s first competitive fight in the state of Missouri.

Her opponent on UFC fight night 124 is going to be Jessy Rose-Clark who currently has 8 wins and 4 losses to her name. Clark is an excellent athlete and very good at takedowns. Her 7 victories have included couple of knockouts and couple of submissions.

For our prediction, we cannot see VanZant being beaten here, she should get the victory by decision.
