UFC Fight Night 219: Andrade vs. Blanchfield is scheduled to take place in Las Vegas on February 19 at the popular UFC Apex Arena. The main card of the event will host heavyweights American Josh Parisian and American Jamal Pogues against each other. An experienced heavyweight fighter will test challenger series graduate Dana White. Who are the favourites in this pairing and whose chances of winning are preferable? The fight is planned for 01:00 UK time.
Perhaps in this clash, we can believe in Jamal’s strength if only because he is trying to develop and improve his skills. Pogus has had time to train with many starfighters and has often changed gyms to train, so he has built up some useful skills for a successful UFC debut. Parisyan, for all his aggression, is an unstable fighter, so we wouldn’t be surprised to see him lose.
The 33-year-old American heavyweight Josh Parisian has a record of 15 wins and five losses. The fighter from Michigan has had four fights in the best league in the world, scoring two wins and taking the same number of losses. Josh has managed to get past Guamanian Roque Martinez and French Alan ‘’The Black Samourai’’ Baudot, but in his clashes with American Parker Porter and American Don’Tale ‘’Lord Kong’’ Mayeshe has suffered setbacks.
Parisian can be described as a versatile fighter, who puts more emphasis on striking technique in his fights, although he can also use wrestling when possible.
The 27-year-old newcomer, Jamal Pogues, has nine wins and three losses in his six years as a professional MMA fighter. The fighter has competed at the Contender Series twice and on both occasions came out victorious on points. Pogus’ performance impressed the league president in 2019 and he has already managed to please Dana White in 2022, where he defeated Brazilian Paulo Renato Jr. by unanimous decision of the judges.
In the cage, ‘’The Stormtrooper’’ combines all the elements, he has good wrestling, good stand-up and most importantly there is stamina.
