Just like every week, there have been many fights added to upcoming UFC cards.

Lucie Pudilova vs. Irene Aldana – UFC 228

Irene Aldana, who was scheduled to fight on UFC 227 against Bethe Correia has been bumped to 228 with a new opponent. UFC announced that Aldana will face Lucie Pudilova on the UFC Fight Pass Early Prelims, presumably finishing the currently 14 fight card. Both fighters are coming off a victory, both via Unanimous decision.

Sean O’Malley vs. Jose Quinonez – UFC 229

Charismatic “Sugar” Sean O’Malley has been put back on assignment, with his next task being Jose Quinonez at UFC 229. The fight was announced by O’Malley himself Monday while on Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show. Quinonez has lost two of his nine career bouts, while O’Malley has stayed 10-0, undefeated. O’Malley broke into the UFC through season 1 of Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, being one of the biggest personalities on the show. Since then he has picked up two more wins, both via scorecards. He was sidelined briefly after his last win as he suffered a foot injury that needed surgery.

Quinonez has been on a tear himself as well, being on a four fight win streak with the past three being going all three rounds. The only time that Quinonez has lost in the UFC was back in 2014 when he made his debut. Quinonez looks to improve to five wins in a row and to end O’Malley’s undefeated streak on the same night that McGregor challenges Nurmagomedov for a belt that he previously held.

Alan Patrick vs. Scott Holtzman – UFC 229

Adding to the Las Vegas card is Alan Patrick and Scott Holtzman. Reported by Combate and MMAFighting.com, Patrick and Holtzman will battle in the Lightweight division on October 6th at the T-Mobile Arena. UFC has yet to confirm this bout for the lineup.

Thirty-six year old MMA fighter Magnus Cedenblad announced his retirement last Tuesday. Announced via Instagram, Cedeblad cited the catalyst for his retirement being his injuries. His last fight was in November of 2016, losing to Jack Marshman. Since then he has been tied up with injuries. He was scheduled to face Chris Camozzi at UFC Fight Night in Stockholm, Sweden, but pulled from the card. Cedenblad retires with a record of 14-5, with four of those wins coming from inside the UFC octagon.

UFC has let go of two fighters this week, both after being with the promotion for a fair amount of time. The first of the two was Tom Lawlor, who was still serving a USADA suspension which was issued back in November of 2016. While serving his suspension Lawlor picked up pro wrestling, a form of entertainment that he had been involved with before. Lawlor was vocal during his suspension about how he had asked for a release, but was not granted one.

News was broke via Dave Meltzer on WrestlingObserver.com on Monday. Lawlor was employed by the UFC for more than a decade, participating in a season of The Ultimate Fighter. He fought in 11 bouts for the UFC, with his most recent one being a loss to Corey Anderson at UFC 196. Outside of the octagon he garnered attention of fans by having a creative personality. Many times he would dress up at weigh-ins, imitating other fighters or personalities within the sport.

The other release by the UFC this week was of Gleison Tibau, another veteran of the sport. Originally reported by MMAFighting.com’s Guilherme Cruz, Tibau will have to look elsewhere if he wants to continue pursuing MMA. Tibau fought 28 times in the UFC, starting back in 2006 against Nick Diaz. He had recently been on a four fight losing streak which started back in 2015, became four in June.

With just over a month until Bellator 205, the main card sees two major changes. The main event, which was originally scheduled to be undefeated AJ McKee Jr. versus Pat Curran is off the table, as Curran has suffered an injury. Replacing him in the 145 weight class fight is John Teixeira. Originally reported by MMA Junkie, the news came Monday afternoon. Another change that came this week was for another main card fight which was scheduled to be between Patricky Freire and Goiti Yamauchi. Teixeira is looking to break his two fight losing streak, being his only two losses in his career. Both of his losses come by decision. His last win was at Bellator 167 against Justin Lawrence.

ESPN reported last Friday that due to Yamauchi’s injury, he would be replaced by Roger Huerta. Similar to Teixeira, Huerta is coming off a loss at Bellator 196, when Benson Henderson beat him in the second round via submission. This will be his second bout in Bellator since his return to the promotion. He fought for Bellator in the early days, facing Eddie Alvarez at Bellator 33.

UFC’s return to Sao Paulo, Brazil in September is left without a main event for now, after Glover Teixeira has pulled out of the bout due to a shoulder injury. What was set to be a Heavyweight bout between Teixeira and Jimi Manuwa is off the table, Ariel Helwani for ESPN reports, leaving the card with 11 bouts. Manuwa voiced his displeasure on the cancellation via Twitter, simply tweeting an angry emoji. This is not the first fight issue for this card, with Mark Godbeer pulling out of his fight with Luis Henrique due to injury. Ryan Spann has already committed to step in as a replacement for that fight. With just over a month to go until the show, UFC might have to scramble to find a main event replacement.
