The Octagon Yields to Sweden to Get UFC Fight Night 152, Occurring June 1 at Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, Sweden.
Several new bouts have been added into the card, and they are given below.
Christos Giagos vs. Damir Hadzovic, Fight Night 152
Lightweights Christos Giagos and Damir Hadzovic are set to battle UFC Fight Night 152. MMANytt.com broke the news. Giagos (16-7) is 2-3 at the UFC over two stints in the advertising and is coming off of a decision win over Mizuto Hirota. Hadzovic (13-4) is 3-2 in the UFC and is coming from a KO win over Marco Polo Reyes using a decision win over Nick Hein prior to that. Both men are middle-of-the-pack lightweights, but Hadzovic seems a large more polished and needs to be preferred here.
Daniel Teymur vs. Sung Bin Jo, UFC Fight Night 152
Featherweights Daniel Teymur and Sung Bin Jo will battle UFC Fight Night 152. Teymur (6-3) is the lower of both Temyur brothers as he’s fought en route to a very poor 0-3 record in the UFC that includes back-to-back entry declines to Julio Arce and Chris Fishgold. There’s no doubt that he is going to be fighting for his UFC job in this bout. Jo (9-0) is making his UFC debut after moving unbeaten with nine consecutive endings on the West regional arena. One knock against Jo is he has only fought since 2017, but his record is very impressive. I would not be shocked if Teymur managed to get his first UFC win, but according to Jo’s masterful record about the regional scene that he must most likely be preferred here.
Stevie Ray vs. Leonardo Santos, UFC Fight Night 152
An intriguing lightweight connection between Stevie Ray and Leonardo Santos is also place for UFC Fight Night 152. Ray (22-8) is 6-3 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Jessin Ayari that snapped a two-fight losing skid. There were plenty of high hopes enclosing the Scot when he initially arrived at the UFC, but overall he’s been disappointing within the Octagon and that he has not completed a struggle since 2015. Santos (16-3-1) won TUF Brazil and overall has an extremely impressive 5-0-1 record inside the Octagon that includes a KO win over Kevin Lee. However, Santos has become 39-years-old and hasn’t fought since late 2016, when he chose over Adriano Martins. He technically hasn’t lost a fight since 2009 and is riding an 11-fight unbeaten streak, but the three-year layoff is obviously not a good sign heading into this particular bout. Nevertheless, I think you have to favor Santos just because of how good his record has been over the past ten years against an inconsistent competition in the shape of Ray.
Tonya Evinger vs. Lina Lansberg, UFC Fight Night 152
Also added to UFC Fight Night 152 is a women’s bantamweight bout between Tonya Evinger and Lina Lansberg. Evinger (19-7, 1 NC) is 0-2 in the UFC with back-to-back knockout losses to Cris Cyborg and Aspen Ladd. The prior Invcita champ has been quite disappointing at the UFC thus far but has fought very tough competition and this should be a more winnable struggle for her. Lansberg (8-4) is 2-3 at the UFC and is coming from a decision loss to Yana Kunitskaya. She has shown toughness in the Octagon, but that is about it. Both are older fighters to the division but given Evinger’s expertise I expect her to be a small favorite here.
