I can see some big upsets on this card but a number of these fights are really close. Garcia over Means, Guida over Koch, Boetsch over Hendricks and Case over Martin are some strong hunches I've got.
Michael Chiesa
Johny Hendricks
Justine Kish
Dominick Reyes
Tim Means
B.J. Penn
Erik Koch
Carla Esparza
Darrell Horcher
Michel Quiñones
Jeremy Kimball
Tony Martin
This is one of those cards where each fight will get progressively worse.
The Fight Pass fights could be really good, then the prelims go from good to average and then we end with
BJ - drunken stumbling around as Siver beats him
2-1 split decision from Garcia
NC due to a foul in the LHW match
Kish landing a 30-27 over Felice
29-28 crappy slow plodding striking match
50-44 decision in the Main event
The last time UFC was here was the fight night in Tulsa....which on paper was not to exciting of a card. Turned out to be awesome as Jordan Mein crushed Pyle, Magny got another win, and Dos Anjos KOED Ben Henderson. Thales Leites and Holloway both got Kos in good fights. Im really looking forward to it.
I want to believe Justine Kish will beat Herrig, but she kills herself on every weight cut and just gets by by the skin of her teeth. Kish looked terrible at weigh ins and needs the 125 division badly imo. Herrig will outwork Kish to a comfortable 30-27.
Sunday night events are a bummer to me, always have to work during them unless I took a day off... and this one doesn't seem worth using one of my limited #. I could be wrong of course.
wish I could have seen the Guida/Koch fight, but I'm stuck at work and can't watch on the computer or tv.. but try to stop me from watching BJ fight on my cellphone, boss people.
Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva had much more last night, at 40, than BJ had at 38 tonight. Not wanting to pile on BJ or anything, just an observation.
It's all about what they rely on in there prime i think... even though BJ was a straight pioneer when it came to his Jab, Head movement and back control, his main thing was that he was athletic as fuk, just near super human mutant levels of gifted, adding to that the amazing chin and ability to never get cut.
Sad thing is... all those things are what age gets first, i mean... He just lost to a guy from his own era, who was a gatekeeper when Penn was champion... someone exactly the same age as him.
That was the saddest i have been while watching a fight during that 3rd round, fighting is honestly the cruellest sport when it comes to father time.
Mario Yamasaki really screwed that up, sucks for Chiesa. Having said that, Lee looked fully in control and owned that first round. I think this was the first Lee fight I saw, I like what I saw! Great athlete, only 24 YO, seems like a sharp dude...I want to see him vs Khabib or something next.
Doesn't Dana usually put the fighters in a rematch when something f'ed up happens?
