MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR MONDAY: TILL VS. THOMPSON, USMAN VS. PONZINIBBIO BOOKED

The UFC welterweight division continues to incorporate new high profile matchups. Only a few days after Rafael dos Anjos vs. Colby Covington was targeted at an interim title fight at UFC 224, two great matchups have been booked. Here are my thoughts on these two new main events, as well as other bouts recently declared by the UFC, recorded in chronological order.
Sean Strickland vs. Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos, UFC 224
A welterweight bout between Sean Strickland and Elizeu Zaleski dos Santos is the latest addition to the stacked UFC 224 card. The event takes place Saturday, May 24 in Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, and this bout rumor was reported by Combate. Strickland (19-2) is a remarkable 6-2 in the UFC and is coming from a decision win over Court McGee. Dos Santos (18-5) is 4-1 at the UFC and has won”Battle of the Night” 3 times, such as in his conclusion win over Max Griffin in his final fight. Both men are excellent fighters that are constantly improving their matches and I anticipate a very close gaming lineup here.
Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Kamaru Usman, UFC Chile
A welterweight bout between Santiago Ponzinibbio and Kamaru Usman has been formally announced by the UFC as the headliner of UFC Fight Night 129, which takes place Saturday, May 19 at Movistar Arena at Santiago, Chile. Ponzinibbio (26-3) is 8-2 in the UFC and is currently riding a six-fight win streak, with a decision win over Mike Perry his out time. Usman (12-1) is a perfect 7-0 at the UFC and conquered Emil Weber Meek in his last outing. Both guys are elite welterweights and this ought to be a great fight. Search for Usman to become favored heading into this fight due to his wrestling advantage.
Darren Until Armour Stephen Thompson, UFC Liverpool
A welterweight showdown between Darren Until and Stephen Thompson is expected to headline UFC Fight Night 130, which takes place Sunday, May 27 in Echo Arena in Liverpool, England. BJPenn.com reported that the matchup. Till (16-0-1) is 4-0-1 at the UFC and pumped out Donald Cerrone in spectacular style in his final fight. Thompson (14-2-1) is 9-2-1 in the UFC and is coming from a unanimous decision win over Jorge Masvidal. This is 1 hell of a matchup between two of the welterweight division’s elite strikers. All of the hype is behind Till right now so that I believe he’ll be favored, but I personally favor Thompson to win this fight and will be eyeing him as an underdog. I will be very curuous to see how the public swings the odds with this one.
Dan Ige vs. Mike Santiago, UFC 225
And finally, a welterweight bout between Dan Ige and Mike Santiago is heading into UFC 225, that takes place Saturday, June 9 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois. The UFC affirmed the booking. Ige (8-2) lately made his UFC debut but missing a unanimous decison into Julio Arce. Santiago (20-11) has dropped both of his UFC fights up to now from Zabit Magomedshapirov and Mads Burnell. Neither fighter seems like they will stick around the Octagon for long but I would envision Ige is a little favorite heading into this one.
