POST-UFC FIGHT NIGHT 111: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Singapore for the second time in promotional background last Saturday (June 17, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 111: Holm vs. Correia. It was a fun night of bits which saw six of 12 bouts end within the distance, and with this action now in our rear view, let’s look at which of the evening’s competitors we may no longer see going to work within the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Andrei Arlovski
Arlovski came up at a unanimous-decision loss to Marcin Tybura and has suffered five consecutive defeats within the Octagon, with all five of them coming against the heavy hitters of the division. It wouldn’t surprise me to see him get another opportunity, but I think it is very likely that we’ve seen the last of Arlovski. If they wanted to keep him around, I think that they would have given him another opponent than Tybura, since the Pole was riding a red hot win streak with a pair of knockout finishes.
Tarec Saffiedine
Saffiedine has now suffered three consecutive defeats and is 1-4 in his last five outings inside the Octagon. The only victory during that stretch was a unanimous-decision over Jake Ellenberger. As a result of this losing streak, I believe there’s a fair possibility that the advertising will elect to part ways with all the prior Strikeforce welterweight champion. I would say it’s 50/50 as to whether we see Saffiedine remain in the business.
Takanori Gomi
Gomi has now last four in a row — throughout 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 fact that there’s a card coming up in Japan makes me believe they may give him yet another crack, therefore at this time, we have a 50/50 shot best of seeing”The Fireball Kid” back.
