This week, UFC Fight Night 150 was officially declared and the occasion will take place May 4 at Canadian Tire Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In addition to declaring the card, a number of bouts have been revealed, and here they are under along with my first thoughts on them.
Derek Brunson vs. Elias Theodorou, UFC Fight Night 150
The most crucial battle declared for this card thus far is a middleweight bout between top-15 fighters Derek Brunson and Elias Theodorou. Brunson (18-7) is 9-5 in the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back KO declines to Israel Adesanya and Ronaldo”Jacare” Souza. Theodorou (16-2) is 8-2 at the UFC and has won his last three fights such as a determination win over Eryk Anders in his last outing. Brunson has the wrestling and power however Theodorou gets the chin and cardio. Difficult one to call but I would have to prefer Theodorou at this point.
Arjan Bhullar vs. Juan Adams, UFC Fight Night 150
A fun heavyweight bout sees Arjan Bhullar take on Juan Adams. Bhullar (8-1) is 2-1 in the UFC and won a decision over Marcelo Golm his last fight. Adams (5-0) has won five of his pro fights by TKO including a knockout over Chris de la Rocha in his UFC debut. Although Bhullar has solid wrestling, I think Adams is a top-level prospect and would make him a big favorite here.
Sarah Moras vs. Leah Letson, UFC Fight Night 150
Women’s bantamweight Sarah Moras will take on Leah Letson. Moras (5-4) is 2-3 in the UFC and has dropped her last two fights. Letson (5-1) is on a five-fight win streak including a success in her UFC debut. Moras is fade material and that I would heavily favor Letson to get the win .
Brad Katona vs. Merab Dvalishvili, UFC Fight Night 150
Bantamweight prospect Brad Katona will get a step up when he chooses on Merab Dvalishvili. Katona (8-0) is 2-0 at the UFC and just dominated Matthew Lopez in his last fight after winning TUF. Dvalishvili (8-4) is currently 1-2 at the UFC and is coming off of a decision win over Terrion Ware in his last fight. Katona is a great prospect and Dvalishvili is a great test for him at this stage of his career. It’s a hard one to call but given the fact Katona is still undefeated, and of course Canadian, I believe you have to prefer him here.
Mitch Gagnon vs. Brian Kelleher, UFC Fight Night 150
Bantamweights in desperate need of wins will fulfill as Mitch Gagnon takes on Brian Kelleher. Gagnon (12-4) is 4-3 at the UFC and is coming off of consecutive losses. Kelleher (19-10) is 3-3 at the UFC and has also lost his last 2 fights. Both guys are fade material but awarded Gagnon’s extended layoff you would have to slightly favor Kelleher within this .
Marc-Andre Barriault vs. Andrew Sanchez, UFC Fight Night 150
Former TKO middleweight champion Marc-Andre Barriault will take on Andrew Sanchez in his UFC debut. Barriault (11-1) is coming off of eight wins in a row in TKO and is among Canada’s best MMA prospects. Sanchez (10-4) is 3-2 at the UFC and defeated Markus Perez by decision in his last fight. Sanchez is a good fighter but I believe Barriault will be really good and I would definitely prefer him for the win here in the capital of Canada.
Aiemann Zahabi vs. Vince Morales, UFC Fight Night 150
And lastly, bantamweights Aiemann Zahabi and Vince Morales will struggle. Zahabi (7-1) is 1-1 at the UFC and lost to Ricardo Ramos via KO in his final struggle. Morales (8-3) lost his UFC debut to Yadong Song. This one could go either but I’d prefer Zahabi just because of the fact he will be fighting so close to home.
