July is shaping up to be an exciting month in combat sports, from MMA to boxing, there is plenty to watch. With five UFC events, including two PPV’s, Bellator vs. Rizin and a blockbuster boxing match-up, there’s a lot to keep your eyes on. We take a look at the top five fights to watch this July.
Top 5 Fights to Watch in July 2023
5. AJ McKee vs. Patricky Pitbull
Headlining Bellator vs. Rizin 2 on July 29th, former Bellator featherweight champion, AJ McKee faces a familiar name in Pitbull, however, not the brother that he has stood across from twice. This time it will be Patricky Pitbull that McKee will clash with.
McKee has a history with the Pitbull brothers having gone 1-1 with Patricio Pitbull at featherweight. Since losing the rematch to Patricio, McKee moved up to lightweight, where many thought that he could shine. He’s failed to impress, however. Despite picking up two victories, he hasn’t looked as dominant as we all thought that he would.
Pitbull is coming off a championship loss to Usman Nurmagomedov back in November and will be looking to return with a vengeance.
This one is so exciting due to the history between McKee and Team Pitbull and is certainly not one to be missed.
4. Dustin Poirier vs….
