On Saturday eight superb fighters will step into the Octagon as part of the main card for UFC Fight Night at Amway Center in Orlando, Florida, seeking to make their greatest statements to date.
The blockbuster UFC Fight Night live on FOX will feature two explosive featherweights in the main event, as the entertaining Jeremy Stephens looks to unleash his 21st career finish against the red-hot Josh Emmett, whose shocking knockout of Ricardo Lamas just two months ago made him one of the fastest risers in UFC history.
The thrilling co-main event features a clash between top-five strawweight fighters; the 10-1 Tecia Torres who is closing in on her first title shot after a blistering career, against the No. 2 ranked Jessica Andrade, whose dominating style has her on the verge of her second career shot at the belt.
In the third hard-hitting matchup, two top-10 heavyweights will clash as the streaking Ovince Saint Preaux hunts for a fourth-straight spectacular stoppage against Ilir “The Sledgehammer” Latifi, whose fists of fury have the powerful Swede surging up the rankings.
The opening fight of the main card features welterweights fighters Mike Perry (13-2) facing Max Griffin (13-4).
Perry is a fighter that when he steps into the octagon he acts like he’s being shot out of a cannon, he’s a bomb slinger and aggression is his game plan, while Griffin is a fighter with incredible finishing ability that has six first-round finishes and five of them have come in under a minute.
This fight promises a lot of fireworks as both of these fighters want to cement their name among the best in the division so don’t expect this one to go to the judges to announce the winner.
