The first Sunday card of 2017 sees the Ultimate Fighting Championship in Halifax for UFC Fight Night 105. The MMASucka.com staff members chose who they believe will come out victorious in the six main card fights taking place on Fox Sports 1.
Top ten-ranked heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Travis Browne will throw down in tonight’s main event. Lewis (17-4, 1 NC) will be in his second straight headliner spot, coming off a fourth round TKO victory in his last bout over Shamil Abdurakhimov. The win was his fifth straight UFC victory and his fifteenth career knockout. Browne (18-5-1) is coming off two straight losses, having his last victory come in January of 2016 from stopping Matt Mitrione. This will be Browne’s third UFC headliner, having his last come in 2014.
The 185 pound co-main event will see former UFC Welterweight Champion Johny Hendricks face former Bellator Middleweight Champion Hector Lombard.
Also making up the main card includes featherweights Sam Sicilia and Gavin Tucker, a clash between former The Ultimate Fighter winners Elias Theodorou and Cezar Ferreira, woman bantamweights Sara McMann and Gina Mazany, & lightweights Paul Felder and Alessandro Ricci.
