MAIN EVENT

 

USFC 54

 

Featherweight Championship

 

Alex "The Outlaw" Morrow (9-3-0) VS Neymar Junior (10-2-0)

 

 

VS

 

USFC featherweight champion Neymar Junior looks to defend his title for the 7th time against Alex Morrow. This will be a tough challenge for Morrow since Junior is on a roll, finishing his past 6 challengers, with only 2 opponents reaching the 2nd round. Junior's feat has brought him to the 90th rank among featherweights while Morrow sits at 176. This will not be an easy match for either fighters as they are almost evenly matched. Technique wise, Morrow fights tactically as he garnered most of his wins via decision (8 decisions of 9 wins). The champ Junior, on the other hand, uses his outstanding KO power (10 TKOs of 10 wins). This will be Junior's toughest challenger so let's see how he handles Morrow.

 

Prediction: Junior via 3rd round TKO

 

USFC 55

 

Middleweight bout

 

"The Mexican Playboy" Luis Cruz (6-2-0) vs Jacare "Scorpion" Romero (5-1-0)

 

 VS 

 

Two amazing ground fighters who met last USFC 24 will meet once again to bring us an exciting matchup. The last time they met, the match was full of reversals and maneuvers but Romero got the sub with a setup from a triangle to a guillotine. Now, both fighters sit at the top 5 of USFC middleweights and they look to climb their way to a title match. Expect an exciting match in this one. 

 

Prediction: Cruz by 2nd round Sub
