UFC 238 ADDS ALJAMAIN STERLING VS. PEDRO MUNHOZ, JIMMIE RIVERA VS. PETR YAN

UFC 238 takes place June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and the card recently had a range of fresh bouts added to the card. Below are my first thoughts on them.
Aljamain Sterling vs. Pedro Munhoz, UFC 238
Top bantamweight contenders Aljamain Sterling and Pedro Munhoz are set to meet UFC 238. The bout was first reported by ESPN. Sterling (17-3) is 9-3 at the UFC and is currently riding a three-fight win series that includes a decision win over Jimmie Rivera his last time out. Munhoz (18-3, 1 NC) is 8-3, 1 NC and can also be riding a three-fight win series which includes an incredible KO over Cody Garbrandt in his final bout. Though Sterling has looked amazing lately and is finally starting to live up to his potential, Munhoz’ win over Garbrandt revealed that he’s an elite bantamweight in the sport, and he deserves to be the favorite in this fight.
Jimmie Rivera vs. Petr Yan, UFC 238
At the same time, bantamweights Jimmie Rivera and Petr Yan will struggle at UFC 238. Rivera (22-3) is an impressive 6-2 overall from the UFC but is coming from a decision loss to Aljamain Sterling. Yan (12-1) is 4-0 in the UFC and most recently defeated John Dodson by decision. Rivera has been a solid bantamweight for many years within the Octagon but with a 1-2 record over his last few fights is starting to show serious signs of a decline, whereas Yan seems like he might be a future champion at 135lbs. I would expect Yan to be a sizeable favorite in this bout.
Ricardo Lamas vs. Calvin Kattar, UFC 238
An intriguing featherweight bout pits Ricardo Lamas contrary to Calvin Kattar. The news of the bout was initially reported by The Chicago Tribune. Lamas (19-7) is 10-5 overall at the UFC and is coming from a TKO win over Darren Elkins. Kattar (19-3) is currently 3-1 at the UFC and many recently conquered Chris Fishgold by TKO. Lamas was a great, underrated featherweight for many years within the Octagon, but Kattar has looked amazing in every fight he’s had in the UFC rescue for his decision loss to Renato Moicano. I would have to slightly favor Kattar to win this battle.
Felice Herrig vs. Xiaonan Yan, UFC 238
Women’s strawweights collide as Felice Herrig is set to take on Xiaonan Yan. Herrig (14-8) is a Chicago-area native who’s 5-3 overall from the UFC, but she is coming off of back-to-back decision losses to Michelle Waterson and Karolina Kowalkiewicz. Yan (10-0, 1 NC) is 3-0 so much in the UFC but her best win is probably over Kailin Curran. Yan is a good prospect at 115lbs, but I’m not prepared to write off Herrig just yet, and I would have to favor her to win this battle.
Tai Tuivasa vs. Blagoy Ivanov, UFC 238
And finally, heavyweights Tai Tuivasa and Blagoy Ivanov will clash at UFC 238. Tuivasa (8-1) is 3-1 in the UFC but is coming off of a brutal TKO loss to Junior dos Santos. Ivanov (17-2, 1 NC) is 1-1 in the UFC with a decision loss to JDC along with a decision win over Ben Rothwell. This looks like a coin flip, but based on Tuivasa’s childhood benefit and KO power I Had slightly lean towards him to get the win.
