UFC Vegas 79 Preview Show | Who Needs The Win More, Rafael Fiziev Or Mateusz Gamrot?

For the first time in six weeks, the UFC is back in the cozy confines of the APEX, which hosts a banger of a lightweight contender fight between Rafael Fiziev and Mateusz Gamrot. Both men have been scraping and clawing their way up the rankings, so will a win lead to a breakthrough into the top 5? And will the loser find themselves a long way from contention? MMA Fighting’s Alexander K. Lee, José Youngs, and E. Casey Leydon preview this weekend’s event, which features a fan-friendly headliner as well as several veteran names on the card. Fiziev and Gamrot jockey for position in a tight lightweight race, Bryce Mitchell looks to bounce back from his first loss when he takes on the battle-tested Dan Ige, and Marina Rodriguez and Michelle Waterson-Gomez face off in a rematch of their May 2021 affair. Is the final chapter of Waterson-Gomez’s career nearing its end? What about Tim Means, who competes in his 50th pro fight when he meets Andre Fialho on the prelims? Plus, we share a few thoughts on Saturday’s Bellator 299 card in Dublin, Ireland, headlined by undefeated middleweight champion Johnny Eblen defending against Fabian Edwards. Follow Alexander K.
