YORGAN DE CASTRO VS CARLOS FELIPE LOWDOWN
The rotund slugger from Cape Verde makes his return to the cage after suffering the first loss of his career to go 6-1. He ended up losing a unanimous decision to Greg Hardy back in May which came after his memorable UFC debut in Mebourne where he buried Justin Tafa with a frightening knockout.
Brazilian, Carlos Felipe replaces Ben Sosoli and makes his second visit to Fight Island but also suffered the first loss of his career to go 8-1. This was his UFC debut against Sergey Spivak who clinched a majority decision to end Felipe’s unbeaten run and streak of two knockouts.
YORGAN DE CASTRO VS CARLOS FELIPE PREDICTION
Two stand-up specialists with knockout power will create an exciting battle on the feet for as long as it lasts. Felipe is a dynamic striker and lit up the Brazilian scene, but the UFC is a big step-up.
De Castro looked great against Hardy, patiently countering and unleashing thunderous leg kicks but the fight slipped away from him after injuring his foot from a checked kick. We expect him to bring the same poise and patience into this fight waiting to counter with venom knowing Felipe will be aggressive.
Prediction: De Castro via KO/TKO
