Nate Diaz puts his undefeated UFC record on the line, against the gritty Josh "The Dentist" Neer. Also, in the sub-main event, two of the UFC premier lightweights will battle it out, to see who can move one step closer to a shot at the title....as crafty veteran, Mac Danzig takes on the non-stop energy of Clay "The Carpenter" Guida, in what could be a potential Fight of the Year.
Ultimate Fight Night 15: LIVE On SpikeTV will be telecast everywhere for free immediately following the live card, as the lead-in to the newest season of "The Ultimate Fighter" featuring coaches: Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, and former UFC Heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.
That's true, but if some of these guys can submit Neer, I can see Diaz doing it. This is a dude who goes for submission after submission. Even when you take him down, he almost always counters with a submission. You gotta be completely text book when you take him down. He never quits. You'd think those punches from side control he took from Pellegrino would take the heart out of him.
I was so scared that the fight was gonna get stopped, actually. He can take punishment, that's for sure.
Damone....good point. Over 100 MMA fights, Jeremy Horn still has game. Enough to win a belt...No. Horn is past his prime and with his experience, would make a fantastic trainer.
I'm kind of glad Horn dropped out, since he needs to take some time off to get his head back into the game and decide if he wants to still keep fighting. Gouveia is still going to smash a fool, so I'm happy.
I think Stevenson beats Neer at 155. Stevenson looked really, really slow against Neer at 170. At 155, Joe Daddy is more explosive and has gotten so much better.
either way i see this fight being more exciting than Nate's fight. Plus Mac is a former tuf winner just like Nate, and Guida is more known than Neer. So I don't see why that shouldn't be the main event. Oh well, i'll still see both of them regaurdless of the order.
Good to see I'm not the only one who can't stand Danzig. I'm really looking forward to Mac getting mauled by Clay. I don't even care if it's a good fight. I'll be happy with complete domination.
I'm gonna go with Guida. He's got the skills and the lungs. Houston will end the fight with the knees. I cant count out Neer, he is an Iowa boy just like me..
Does anyone know what time the actual fighting begins tonight? I don't want to watch all the commercials and replays of old fights that they show for hours at the beginning of the broadcast.
