Today the UFC announced several fights for UFC Fight Night 132 June 23 at Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore. At Flyweight, Jessica-Rose "Jessy Jess" Clark will face Jessica Eye. And at Strawweight, Nadia Kassem will face Xiaonan Yan. I have known about these fights for a couple of weeks. But the venue was just added today. Jessy Jess is from Australia but she now trains at Syndicate MMA in Las Vegas. Her record is 9-4 and she is 2-0 in the UFC. Fans will probably remember her from Invicta. She seems to have improved since moving to the US to train with John Wood. She used to fight at Bantamweight. She broke Paige VanZant's arm in her last fight. Jessica is 31 years old from Cleveland. She wasn't having much success in the UFC Bantamweight division. She beat Kalindra Faria by split decision in January in her Flyweight debut. The fight was awful. Kalindra knocked Jessica loopy with a head kick but then she was too inept to finish her. So Jessica would have lost to a decent fighter and that may be Jessy Jess. Nadia is 22 years old from Sydney, Australia. She won her UFC debut over Alex Chambers in November. They were both awful but Alex was worse. Nadia seems very inexperienced to me. Keep in mind that her brother Ashkan Mokhtarian is also on this show. Yes, they need foreign fighters for foreign shows. But why do some of them have to be so inept? Yan is from mainland China. She won her UFC debut over Kailin Curran who has since been released. I'm not expecting much from this fight. Both are not very good.
