Fights on Faucet is a weekly roundup of all of the fights booked within the UFC, Bellator and different promotions.
One of many largest pay-per-view occasions of 2022 goes down on Saturday! UFC 281 options Israel Adesanya vs. Alex Pereira, Carla Esparza vs. Zhang Weili and Dustin Poirier vs. Michael Chandler. There are additionally some sleeper fights like Brad Riddell vs. Renato Moicano and Julio Arce vs. Montel Jackson, so we’re in for an actual deal with this weekend. However earlier than we are able to get to that occasion, how about we take a look at what we’ve forward of us on the upcoming schedule?
The UFC both introduced or finalized 21 fights this week, and two all-action featherweights are confirmed for the ultimate UFC occasion of the 12 months.
Alex Caceres is gearing up for his second UFC look in 2022. ‘Bruce Leeroy’ returns towards Julian Erosa at an upcoming UFC Battle Night time scheduled for Dec. 17 on the UFC APEX.
The previous Final Fighter competitor not too long ago noticed a five-fight win streak snap after he suffered a unanimous choice loss to Sodiq Yusuff at UFC Vegas 50 in March. His subsequent opponent, Erosa, has completed higher in his third run with the UFC. Since he rejoined the promotion, ‘Juicy J’ has gone 5-1. His most up-to-date win — a unanimous choice over Hakeem Dawodu at UFC 279 — noticed him lengthen his win streak to 3 straight.
