UFC PHILADELPHIA ADDS KEVIN HOLLAND VS. GERALD MEERSCHAERT

The UFC is led back into the City of Brotherly Love later this month, and a couple fights are added on short notice. UFC on ESPN two takes place March 30 at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and my first thoughts on those new bouts are under.
Kevin Holland vs. Gerald Meerschaert, UFC on ESPN two Middleweights Kevin Holland Gerald Meerschaert are set to battle at UFC on ESPN two in what ought to be an enjoyable fight for the fans. The Philly Voice broke the news. Holland (13-4) dropped a decision to Thiago Santos in his UFC debut but rebounded nicely with a submission win over John Phillips. Overall, he’s won five of his last six fights. Meerschaert (28-10) is 4-2 at the UFC but is coming from a entry loss to Jack Hermansson. Both Holland and Meerschaert are extremely underrated and exciting fighters in middleweight, but awarded Holland’s youth and physical benefits in this fight, I’d make him the favorite here.
Ray Borg vs. Kyler Phillips, UFC on ESPN 2 Due to an accident to Pingyuan Liu, Ray Borg now meets short-notice replacement opponent Kyler Phillips at a bantamweight bout. Borg (11-3) is 5-3 overall in the UFC but has not fought as a submission loss to Demetrious Johnson in October 2017. He has dealt with a great deal in his young career and he could put the past behind him. Phillips (6-1) is making his UFC debut after picking up a head kick KO in LFA only a few weeks ago. He is a veteran of the Contender Series and seems like a very promising prospect, but he lacks the UFC experience that Borg has. I believe Phillips has a opportunity to win this particular fight, but you still must favor Borg.
Alex Perez vs. Mark de la Rosa, UFC on ESPN two Moving upward from flyweight to bantamweight is Alex Perez, and he’ll take on Mark de la Rosa. Perez (21-5) won his first three UFC battles before getting knocked out by Joseph Benavidez in his last outing. Prior to this, he had been riding an eight-fight win streak. De la Rosa (11-1) is 2-1 in the UFC and his wife Montana de la Rosa is having a lot of success from the Octagon, but the truth he fought in a narrow split decision win over Joby Sanchez was bothering. Like most bantamweight bouts, this should be competitive, but I’d still favor Perez to receive his hand raised.
John Makdessi vs. Jesus Pinedo, UFC Fight Night 148
Because of accidents Chris Gruetzemacher and Nasrat Haqparast, their first opponents John Makdessi and Jesus Pinedo will now fight at UFC Fight Night 148, taking place March 23 at Bridgestone Arena at Nashville, Tennessee. Considering both men are lightweights who only lost their competitions, this is the best way to maintain both guys on the card. Makdessi (16-6) is 9-6 at the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back wins over Ross Pearson and Abel Trujillo. Pinedo (16-4-1) is really on a seven-fight win streak and conquer Devin Powell by decision in his UFC debut. Makdessi includes a ton of experience from the Octagon however Pinedo is just 22-years-old and looks like a great prospect. I would expect a close line here but awarded Pinedo’s youth and upside he is probably the drama in this .
