The UFC organization adopted the “wholesale advertising” style and only released this Thursday (21) six fights for its upcoming events in 2014. The highlight of the list is the Brazilian Rafael Sapo, who is making his first fight since losing to Tim Kennedy in the main event of UFC Fight for The Troops 3, in November last year. Sapo will face North American Ed Herman in the May 10th edition of UFC Fight Night, scheduled for the city of Cincinatti (USA).
For the same event in which Sapo faces Herman, the organization also announced a duel between featherweights Nik lentz, sixth in the organization's official ranking, and Armenian Manny Gamburyan. Another confirmed duel involving athletes in the up to 66 kg category was between Sean Soriano and Estevan Payan, who will face each other at UFC on FOX 11, on April 19th.
With just over two weeks to go before UFC Fight Night 37 in London, Ultimate has finally found a replacement for the injured Ian McCall. The chosen one was Neil Seery, who will face the home athlete Brad pickett, in a fight valid for the flyweight category. Finally, two other fights were confirmed for events in April: George Roop vs. Dustin Kimura for the TUF Nations Finale, on the 16th, and Danny Castillo vs Isaac Vallie-Flag for UFC 172, which takes place on the 26th.
