MMA Fighting Fighter vs. Writer: Matt Brown Makes UFC 295 Picks, Reacts to New Title Fights Including O’Malley vs. Vera
The Fighter vs. The Writer returns with UFC legend Matt Brown and MMA Fighting senior reporter Damon Martin previewing the upcoming UFC 295 card including the two title fights at the top of the lineup.
Jiri Prochazka will attempt to recapture the belt he never actually lost when he clashes with Alex Pereira in the main event. Prochazka returns after suffering a devastating shoulder injury that kept him out of action for over a year but he anxiously awaits the chance to reclaim that belt.
But will Prochazka’s creativity and willingness to put himself in harm’s way help him win at UFC 295 or could that style come back to haunt him, especially while facing a lethal striker like Pereira?
We’ll also look ahead at the interim heavyweight title fight as Sergei Pavlovich looks to extend his six-fight winning streak when he takes on Tom Aspinall.
Pavlovich hasn’t seen a second round in any of his recent wins while demolishing every opponent he’s faced by knockout but does Aspinall serve as the perfect fighter to counter his devastating power?
Plus we react to the news announced by UFC CEO Dana White on Monday with Sean Strickland vs. Dricus du Plessis scheduled at UFC 297, Alexander Volkanovski vs. Ilia Topuria at UFC 298 and Sean O’Malley vs. Marlon “Chito” Vera at UFC 299.
