The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional history last Saturday (June 17, 2017) using UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was an entertaining night of scraps that saw six of 12 bouts ending inside the distance, and with this activity now in our rear perspective, let us take a look at which of the day’s competitions we might no longer see going to work within the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Andrei Arlovski
Arlovski came up short in a unanimous-decision loss to Marcin Tybura and has suffered five consecutive defeats inside the Octagon, together with five of them coming against the heavy hitters of the division. It would not shock me to see him get another chance, but I think it’s very likely that we have seen the last of Arlovski. If they wanted to keep him around, I think they could have given him a different opponent than Tybura, as the Pole was riding a red hot win streak with a set of knockout finishes.
Tarec Saffiedine
Saffiedine has now suffered three successive defeats and is 1-4 in his past five trips within the Octagon. The only victory during that stretch has been a unanimous-decision over Jake Ellenberger. Due to this losing streak, I think there’s a fair possibility that the advertising will opt to part ways with all the former Strikeforce welterweight champion. I’d say it is 50/50 as to whether we see Saffiedine remain in the organization.
Takanori Gomi
Gomi has last four in a row — all via first-round end — and it is likely that the 38-year-old veteran will likely be getting his walking papers out of the promotion. The simple fact that there is a card coming up in Japan makes me believe they may give him yet another crack, so at this point, we’ve got a 50/50 shot at best of seeing”The Fireball Kid” back.
