With Jon Jones’ narrow victory over Dominick Reyes last weekend at UFC 247 — which came seven months after his narrow victory over Thiago Santos at UFC 239 — the UFC’s light heavyweight division is suddenly more interesting than it has been for quite some time. No longer simply a matter of Jones lording over a cast of over-the-hills and also-rans, 205 pounds is a land of intrigue. And the increased interest from UFC 247’s result carries over into this weekend’s UFC on ESPN+ 25. Corey Anderson meets Jan Blachowicz in a light heavyweight showdown Saturday night in the main event of the UFC’s return to New Mexico. It’s a rematch of a bout won by Anderson (13-4 MMA, 10-4 UFC) in 2015, but so much has changed in the meantime that this may as well be an all-new matchup.

UFC Shenzhen’s Mark De La Rosa says submission prowess gives him edge on Kai Kara-France

BAD MMA News — Thu, 29 Aug 2019 11:10:15 +0000

When the UFC looked like it was doing away with their flyweight division, one of the newest members of the weight class started preparing himself for life back at bantamweight. But now it seems the flyweights are here to stay, Mark De La Rosa is determined to make his mark and establish himself as a brand new contender in a rebooted 125-pound division. De La Rosa (11-2 MMA, 2-2 UFC) returns to action against Kai Kara-France at UFC on ESPN+ 15 in Shenzhen, China in what should be an exciting matchup at 125 pounds as the American looks to hand the New Zealand striker his first loss in eight fights. For Texas native De La Rosa, the prospect of traveling halfway around the world for a prizefight could have been daunting. But, speaking to MMA Junkie from Shenzhen, he said he was more than happy to make the trip. “That’s why I started fighting, to travel and fight the best in the world, no matter where it leads,” he said.
