FOUR BOUTS ADDED TO UFC 237 INCLUDING CARLOS DIEGO FERREIRA VS. FRANCISCO TRINALDO

The official media conference was held for UFC 237, which takes place May 11 at Jeunesse Arena at Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The principal event of this card was formally declared to be UFC women’s strawweight winner. Jessica Andrade, using a pair of co-main events including Jared Cannonier vs. Anderson Silva at middleweight and Alexander Volkanovski vs. Jose Aldo in featherweight. (As an aside, Aldo stated he could be forced to pull out with injury, and Renato Moicano was rumored as a replacement.) A couple new supporting struggles were added to the card, and my first thoughts on these are below.
Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Francisco Trinaldo, UFC 237
An intriguing lightweight connection between Carlos Diego Ferreira and Francisco Trinaldo was booked for UFC 237. MMAFighting.com broke the information. Ferreira (15-2) is 6-2 overall in the UFC and is riding an impressive four-fight win streak right now. This includes a choice win over Rustam Khabilov in his last fight that pushed him closer to the top-15 at 155lbs. Trinaldo (23-6) is 13-5 overall from the UFC and is coming from a vicious TKO victory over Evan Dunham that hauled him to retirement. Though Trinaldo is 40, he has proven time and time again he’s one of the best lightweights in the world, and he is the perfect opponent to test in which Ferreira is at right now. That having been said, I believe you need to favor Ferreira here given his recent win streak, and the opening line for this particular bout will be interesting to see.
Said Nurmagomedov vs. Raoni Barcelos, UFC 237
Bantamweights Said Nurmagomedov and Raoni Barcelos will fulfill at UFC 237. Gracie Mag broke the information. Nurmagomedov (13-1) is currently 2-0 in the UFC and is riding a seven-fight win streak overall including a knockout win over Ricardo Ramos in his final bout. Barcelos (13-1) is on a six-fight win streak and is 2-0 in the UFC as nicely with a submission win over Chris Gutierrez in his final struggle, which looks even better following his recent victory over Ryan MacDonald. Both these men are promising young fighters and this really is a great fight. I would expect something close to a Select Celtics lineup here, with perhaps a slight lean to Barcelos due to battling in Brazil.
UFC 237 vs. Sergio Moraes, warlley Alves An intriguing welterweight bout between Warlley Alves and Sergio Moraes can also be set for UFC 237. Alberto Mina was originally rumored as Alves’ competition, but Moraes finally ended up obtaining the fight. Alves (12-3) is 6-2 in the UFC and is coming from a surprising TKO loss to James Krause. He simply hasn’t lived up to the hype after his win on TUF Brazil 3 and is probably in a must-win situation . Moraes (14-4-1) is 8-3-1 complete from the UFC and recently had a two-fight win streak snapped by a decision loss to Anthony Rocco Martin. The two Alves and Moraes are strong boxers with holes in their own match, but given the youth advantage for Alves I’d expect him to be a small favorite here.
Kurt Holobaugh vs. Thiago Moises, UFC 237
And finally, featherweights Kurt Holobaugh and Thiago Moises will fulfill at this function. Holobaugh (17-6, 1 NC) has an overall record of 0-3 in the UFC, and is coming off of consecutive stoppage declines to Shane Burgos and Raoni Barcelos. Moises (11-3) was ruled in the grappling department by Beneil Dariush in his UFC debut, which snapped a two-fight win series. Both these men are gifted yet flawed fighters, and bettors can anticipate a Select’em kind of line for this bout, with possibly a small edge to Moises.
