6 Main Card Predictions For UFC Fight Night: Silva vs. Arlovski

By Jay Anderson /

5. Iuri Alcantara vs. Russell Doane

Weight Class: Bantamweight A Jungle Fight and WEC vet (he appeared only in their final event, technically), Iuri Alcantara (30€“5 (1)) has spent four years in the UFC just sort of hovering around the middle of the bantamweight pack. Now on a two-fight win streak, he's looking for three in a row for the first time in his UFC career. Russell Doane (14-3), a former Tachi Palace bantamweight champ, has won both his UFC fights thus far since signing with the promotion. With Alcantara having a huge advantage in experience and fighting in his home country, and with the skills necessary to defeat Doane, he should win this - but it could be a close fight as Doane is no slouch. Doane has tapped twice in his career, this could be the third time. Alcantara by submission, second round.
