MMA News has you covered with this week’s UFC matchmaking bulletin, featuring fights for Jake Hadley, Gabriel Bonfim, and Ode’ Osbourne.
With UFC cards being held most weekends, Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby have their matchmaking work cut out if they’re to fill them, meaning new bouts are confirmed each and every week.
It was a relatively quiet period when it came to big announcements. One notable revelation, however, surrounded a long-touted lightweight prospect. Following a difficult knockout defeat at UFC 283 this past January, Terrance McKinney will look to bounce back at the expense of Nazim Sadykhov at UFC Vegas 77 on July 15.
But it wasn’t all positive, with some fights falling through or being adjusted in recent days. For those failed pairings and any confirmed replacements, see the list below:
- Mateus Mendonça (OUT, Muin Gafarov IN) vs. John Castañeda – UFC Vegas 74 (June 3)
- Vinc Pichel (OUT, Ismael Bonfim IN) vs. Benoît Saint-Denis – UFC Vegas 76 (July 1)
And for more detailed information on some notable fights that may have flown under your radar between May 22 and May 27, scroll down and check out this week’s UFC matchmaking bulletin.
