Fight Predictions: Noche UFC 3 + Álvarez vs Crawford
Saturday night is most definitely going to be one for the books. Has there EVER been a BIGGER 'Mexican Independence Day' celebration, 'UFC' and 'Boxing', coming together in this way!?!
So 'UFC Noche 3' is filled with Mexican talent, rising stars, current stars, everyone wants to shine. Things get started off though, with a Brazilian 🇧🇷 and a Ukrainian 🇺🇦, as we crown a Welterweight Champion for 'The Ultimate Fighter: Team Cormier vs Team Sonnen' Champion, when Rodrigo Sezinando @rodrigo_sezinandobjj & Daniil Donchenko @donchen.ko.daniil square off!
We see Tatiana Suarez @tatianasuarezufc 🇺🇸 🇲🇽 take the first steps of her comeback, as she faces Amanda Lemos @amandalemos_ufc 🇧🇷, in what should a fun fight. The Prelims close with a winner goes home affair, as Jose Daniel Medina @chichomedinaufc 🇧🇴 & Dusko Todorovic @todorovic_ufc 🇷🇸 lock horns. Both on 3 fight skids, so this is make or break and the way they fight, somethings definitely gonna break!
Unfortunately, one of the talking points is the crazy weight miss from Kelvin Gastelum @kgastelum 🇲🇽! His fight with Dustin Stoltzfus @dustinstoltzfusmma 🇩🇪 is still on, but could a loss be it for the former 'Ultimate Fighter' winner?
Our 'Headline Fight' has got it all, two stars of the sport, both from great Camps, both crazy skilled, and they don't get on!!! Diego Lopes @diegolopesmma 🇧🇷 🇲🇽 vs Jean Silva @jeansilvamma 🇧🇷 👓 is a MUST WATCH, f'sure! As we've seen from late, Silver has got submissions, BUT, it's the power that will be the BIG factor in this one. Can Lopes avoid the sonic shockers and do what he does best......!?!
PLUS, it's kinda the soft launch of Zuffa Boxing, as the Allegiant Stadium gets the legends in the spot, when Canelo Álvarez @canelo 🇲🇽 vs Terence Crawford @tbudcrawford 🇺🇸 finally get to see, who reigns supreme! AND, leading us into this history, are two fighters aiming to be greats, themselves! Callum Walsh faces Fernando Vargas Jr in a fun as hell, 'Co-main' event!!!
