12 Sensational UFC Bouts In March That You Must Watch

8. Danny Roberts vs. Nicolas Dalby - UFC Fight Night 171

The UFC's upcoming card in London has a bunch of exciting fights on there, with a great match-up between surging welterweight contender, Leon Edwards, and former UFC champion, Tyron Woodley at the top of the bill. However, if you're looking for exciting scrap that is going a little bit under the radar, but is sure to bring fireworks then keep an eye on the battle between Danny Roberts and Nicolas Dalby.

These two dynamic welterweights have the skills and power to finish the fight at any point and a win for either man could see them surge up the rankings. Roberts last fought in November 2019 at UFC Fight Night 163, brutally knocking out Zelim Imadaeva and silencing the Russian's countrymen in the process. This victory ended a two-fight skid that he was on and he'll be hoping to build up some momentum throughout the year.

Dalby's first run in the UFC didn't go exceptionally well, going 1-3-1 during his five-fight stint with the promotion. However, after winning the Cage Warriors welterweight title and getting his life back on track following a bout with depression, Dalby made his return to the Octagon in 2019. His victory over Alex Oliveira in his hometown was a brilliant moment for the 35-year old, but was it a one-off?
