Oh boy, get ready for a heavyweight showdown that’s sure to grab your attention. Michael Parkin is set to throw down with Lukasz Brzeski. And guess what? This clash is just one of three fresh matchups added to the UFC 304 lineup.
But wait, there’s more. Caolan Loughran will be squaring off against Ramon Taveras in a bantamweight battle. Not to be outdone, Shauna Bannon and Ravena Oliveira are gearing up for a fierce fight in the women’s 135-pound division. The folks over in Las Vegas spilled the beans on these exciting additions last Wednesday.
So, where’s all this action going down? None other than Manchester, England, on July 27. And the cherry on top? A welterweight championship bout between Leon Edwards and Belal Muhammad. Oh, and let’s not forget the co-main event where Tom Aspinall defends his interim heavyweight belt against Curtis Blaydes.
Now, let’s talk about Parkin for a sec. The guy’s a beast, undefeated in nine pro fights, including three in the Octagon. Last time we saw him, he outmaneuvered Mohammed Usman at UFC on ESPN 53 on March 23. And yes, he’s also got wins over Caio Machado and Jamal Pogues under his belt.
On the flip side, Brzeski’s shaking off a rough patch. He finally snapped a four-fight winless streak by clinching a win against Valter Walker at UFC Fight Night 240 on April 6. Talk about a comeback.
