12 Sensational UFC Bouts In March That You Must Watch

Even though March Madness is usually associated with American college sports, it would be an apt title for what the UFC are bringing us this month. If you're a fight fan, prepare to spend a fair few Saturday nights staying in, because there are a lot of incredible match-ups on the horizon.

All eyes might be on the UFC middleweight title fight at UFC 248, but if you take a look over the other three cards happening this month then you'll realise there's even more on offer. They've got match-ups that could have potential title ramifications for the women's bantamweight division, a grappling showdown that will excite even the most ardent striking snob and a light-heavyweight scrap that is guaranteed to end in a violent finish.

However, the real gem is the heavyweight match-up that could potentially be one of the scariest fights the UFC has ever put on. Two heavy-hitters with the sort of knockout power that would only seem possible in your favourite Marvel movie. It's going to be some spine-tingling stuff and we've got those and more fights on this list of must-see battles.

Let's begin...

UFC strawweights, Tecia Torres and Mizuki Inoue, are two fighters who were tipped for big things during the early part of their careers, but have had some bumps in the road to deal with along the way.

Both ladies made a name for themselves fighting for Invicta FC, but had differing results. Torres stormed through the promotion before being signed to the UFC after competing on the 20th season of The Ultimate Fighter. The 30-year old established herself as a top strawweight from early on, going 6-1 in her career, with her only loss during that run being to eventual champion, Rose Namajunas.

However, she's recently found herself on a four-fight losing streak that dates all the way back to 2017 when she beat Michelle Waterson. Another loss would most definitely signal the end of her time competing for the promotion.

While Torres suffered her defeats inside the Octagon, Inoue had to deal with hers while competing for Invicta. However, considering this happened in 2015 and the now 25-year old wasn't even old enough to have a drink, we'll put it down to growing pains.

Despite her young age, Inoue has already been competing for 10 years, making her MMA debut a few months after turning 16. She's since been moulded into an exceptional grappler who is constantly looking for the submission.

So will it be the young gun looking to make a name for themselves who comes out victorious or will the veteran fighting to remain relevant come away with the win?
