Michel Prazeres vs. Desmond Green set for February/Belém FN (125) event

IMO, a bit of a strange pairing.

Prazeres is on a five fight win streak, but has twice missed weight. Green was most recently defeated by Rustam Khabilov.

Promotion has shown little to no interest in promoting a 36 year old Prazeres and is just giving him fights. Other than a rather green Mairbek Taisumov, the guy has not really beaten anyone else of note, but he is 23-2, and 7-2 in the UFC.

maybe him ( green ) being and ex Bellator fighter the UFC is trying to make him look sub par in an attempt to make Bellator look more like the B league

Yeah I think maybe but also probably just some cannon fodder for him

I doubt people are lining up to fight the tractor

It's not really a strange pairing when you consider desmond green dominated Josh Emmett, and was robbed against Khabilov. The UFC is treating this like Green is 2-0.

The fact that Emmett vs Green was a split was on Caceres/Wang levels:

Weird fight. Green is a very good fighter don't get me wrong. But prazares with his win streak deserved a bigger name. Got to go with tractor by decision

 

[Typrune Goatley]

They really need to give Prazeres a big name if he wins this one.
