Fights on Faucet is a weekly roundup of all of the fights booked within the UFC, Bellator and different promotions.
2022 is sort of over, however we’ve a couple of extra occasions to observe earlier than the 12 months ends. With that in thoughts, let’s take a look at what we’ve forward of us on the upcoming schedule.
The UFC both introduced or finalized ten fights this week, and a welterweight conflict is headed to Brazil subsequent week.
Neil Magny received who he wished. Following his third-round D’Arce choke of Daniel Rodriguez at UFC Vegas 64, the ‘Haitian Sensation’ used his time on the microphone to ask for Gilbert Burns. In response, ‘Durinho’ wrote that he already had an opponent, but when the unnamed fighter fell by means of, he would ‘one hundred pc’ share the Octagon with Magny.
Properly, the unnamed fighter (who Burns alleged was Jorge Masvidal) fell by means of, and Burns saved his promise of combating Magny. The struggle has been added to UFC 283, the upcoming pay-per-view occasion scheduled for Jan. 21 in Brazil. Burns has not fought since shedding to Khamzat Chimaev in a ‘Combat of the Yr’ contender at UFC 273 this previous April.
On the Bellator entrance, a welterweight title unification between Yaroslav Amosov and Logan Storley is predicted to headline the promotion’s return to Dublin subsequent 12 months.
