Saturday’s card in Long Island is chock full of intriguing fights from top to bottom. "UFC Fight Night: Ortega vs. Rodriguez" has the potential to be an absolute banger, and today we are going to pick one fight from the main card and one fight from the preliminary card that many people expect to deliver some delicious violence.

Main Card: Lauren Murphy vs. Miesha Tate

The fight that kicks off the main card figures to be an absolute war. The matchup has been one that has been brewing for a while, ever since Lauren Murphy’s unanimous decision loss to flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and Tate’s unanimous decision loss to Ketlen Vieira just a couple of months later. After a 1-1 return to the UFC following a five-year absence from the octagon, Miesha “Cupcake” Tate will be moving down from bantamweight to flyweight to take on the game Murphy, who will look to stack up the wins and make one last run at the belt. It’s an intriguing fight between two legends that are very much still in title contention and should produce some fireworks.

Prelims: Ricky Simon vs. Jack Shore

Let's discuss the fight that most experts are circling on the prelim card this weekend. In the bantamweight division between the 11th-ranked Simon and the 14th-ranked Shore, the winner should secure a spot in the top 10 the following Monday. Another element of this preliminary fight's hype is that both fighters are on a winning streak.

Simon is 19-3 overall in his professional career and coming off a four-fight win streak. At just 29 years old, there’s no doubt he’s an exciting fighter to watch. Shore is an undefeated 16-0 in his professional career and is coming off a five-fight win streak in the UFC. Just 27 years old, this makes for an exciting fight between him and Simon in what could be the first of many matchups between these two newcomers to the bantamweight division.
