That should be enough to tune in, but underneath that are just more fun scraps.

Michael Chiesa was riding a three-fight win streak before being halted by Kevin Lee, who&#8217;s last fight was against now interim lightweight champ Tony Ferguson. Anthony Pettis also recently suffered a loss to contender Dustin Poirier. Both men have wins in their last fights against Jim Miller and both will be searching for redemption at the big card on April 7th.<\/p>\n<p>Other bang-up matches include Paul Felder fighting Al Iaquinta and a wild women&#8217;s fight between Felice Gerrig and Karolina Kowalkiewicz. An injury took Brandon Moreno out of his UFC Austin fight with Ray Borg, but the bout has been re-booked for the Brooklyn card as well. Moreno was on an 11 fight win stream before a set back against Sergio Pettis. A win over the last man to fight Demetrious Johnson will put him ever closer to a flyweight title fight. That is, after Johnson settles <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/tj-dillashaw\/report-demetrious-johnson-vs-tj-dillashaw-superfight-targeted-ufc-226-co-main-event\/\">potential business with UFC bantamweight champ TJ Dillashaw<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UFC 223 Card so far:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tony Ferguson (ic) vs. Khabib Nurmagomedov<br \/>\nRose Namajunas (c)\u00a0 vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk<br \/>\nPaul Felder vs. Al Iaquinta<br \/>\nMichael Chiesa vs. Anthony Pettis<br \/>\nFelice Herrig vs. Karolina Kowalkiewicz<br \/>\nChris Gruetzemacher vs. Joe Lauzon<br \/>\nRay Borg vs. Brandon Moreno<\/p>\n<p><em>This article first appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\">BJPenn.com<\/a> on 2\/1\/2018.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The card is only about half finished but already the UFC&#8217;s trip to Brooklyn is looking awesome.
