Oh boy, here we go. So, we’ve got Warlley Alves squaring off against Abusupiyan Magomedov. This middleweight clash is set to light up the UFC Fight Night on May 18. You heard it here first, folks.
Now, Alves dropped the news on social media. Yep, after Marcel Dorff spilled the beans on X. Remember when it was called Twitter? Good times. The showdown’s likely at the UFC Apex in Vegas. But hey, no main event’s been whispered yet.
And guess what? There’s more action brewing. We’re talking Ramiz Brahimaj vs. Themba Gorimbo in the welterweight category. Then, there’s Luana Pinheiro facing off against Angela Hill, and Vanessa Demopoulos taking on Emily Ducote, both in strawweight. Oh, and let’s not forget Hailey Cowan vs. Tamires Vidal in the flyweight division. It’s gonna be a sizzler of an event.
Now, onto Alves. The guy’s had a rough patch, with a 1-4 run in his last five fights. Ouch. His latest was a tough Round 1 TKO loss to Ikram Aliskerov at UFC 294. Tough break, especially since it was his first middleweight fight since joining the UFC.
Magomedov’s not having a picnic either. He’s hit a two-fight slump. Got TKO’d by Sean Strickland in Round 2 last July. Then, a unanimous decision loss to Caio Borralho last November. Seems like both fighters are itching for a comeback.
So, there you have it. A middleweight clash that’s got everyone buzzing. May 18 can’t come soon enough. Will Alves turn his luck around? Can Magomedov break his losing streak? Only time will tell. Stay tuned, folks.
