Rafael Cavalcante vs. Ovince Saint Preux
Joseph Benavidez vs. Zach Makovsky
Mike Pyle vs. Sean Spencer
Misha Cirkunov vs. Alex Nicholson
Finished the countdown for this. I think Hendricks will control the fight. Big step up for 'Wonderboy.' Had no idea his father was a former kickboxing champ and no holds barred fighter.
I was originally picking Wonderboy, but Johnny looks to be in amazing shape and extremely motivated. That is bad for everyone in the division, I pick Johnny by brutal 1st round Ko
Go mullet power! Nice finish by Pyle, turned it up in the 3rd round when he needed it and jumped all over the finish when he had Spencer wobbled. It looked like the ref wasn't going to stop it for a while, but it did turn out to be a good stoppage.
Mike Pyle has never been a top 10 guy... but his killer instinct is elite, so many rough fights he has been have ending with him catching them with a strike and going all out for the finish. That ability looks as strong as ever even at 40.
Gotta love Pyle, obviously won't ever be a champ but still relevant and fighting like he's in his early 30's. I'd love to be in that kind of shape at 40.
Zach Makovsky showing bad fight IQ. He automatically backs off and runs after everything he throws at Benavidez. So many missed opportunities, Benavidez was out of position so many times and open for free shots.
Gets Benavidez clinched on the fence, then breaks and backs off halfway across the cage. Seriously? Wtf.
And UFC inconsistent post fight interview criterion continues. We've heard plelim fighters do their talk, but no word from main event Ovince St Preux, who showed a lot of heart to fight and win through a clear sore leg. :fighting05:
