Jessica Eye [14-6-0-1 MMA, 4-5-0-1 UFC] will soon face former UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship challenger and current Women's Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko [16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC] for the UFC Flyweight Championship. Shevchenko is on a 2-fight win streak and won the title last month by defeating 6-time UFC Women's Strawweight Champion and WMMA magnate Joanna Jędrzejczyk [15-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC] at UFC 231. Eye is on a 3-fight win streak. I would probbaly take Shevchenko in this one. ================================================== ================================================== =================================== |

Former CITC Welterweight Champion and former ISCF East Coast Welterweight Champion Matt Brown [21-16 MMA, 14-10 UFC] is expected to return to the UFC this summer [probably June or July]. He is gunning for a welterweight bout with Mike Perry [12-4 MMA, 5-4 UFC]. Brown is on a 1-fight win streak, but hasn't competed since November 2017. Perry is on a 1-fight losing streak. I hope Brown murders this douche bag. ================================================== ================================================== =================================== Former UFC Middleweight Championship challenger Yoel Romero [13-3 MMA, 9-2 UFC] is expected to return on April 27th at UFC On ESPN 3 in Miami. He is expected to face former Face To Face Middleweight Champion and 2-time Jungle Fight Middleweight Champion Paolo Costa [12-0 MMA, 4-0 UFC]. Romero is on a 1-fight losing streak, while Costa is undefeated in all 12 of his professional fights. I would take Romero in this one. ================================================== ================================================== =================================== 2-time UFC Heavyweight Champion Fabricio Werdum [23-8-0-1 MMA, 11-5 UFC] recently rescued a teen from drowning in California Quote:

So, Bellator 214 is coming up in < 48 hours. I don't know much about this J.W. Kiser dude who is fighting Jake Hager [WWE's "Jack Swagger"] in Hager's MMA debut. Sherdog attributes him a professional record of 0-1, but MixedMartialArts.com has him listed at 1-1. MixedMartialArts.com lists his amateur record as 4-5, but Kiser claims to have 52 fights under his belt. That's a HUGE difference. If Kiser DOES have that many fights under his belt, Hager could be in serious trouble. No matter how much training you have, it is hard to make up for that much experience. I'm guessing that Kiser is lying about how many fights he has because he's sore about being such an underdog, so he's trying to talk himself up. If I was him, I'd shut the fuck up and thank my lucky stars for getting gifted such a marquee fight. Kiser is listed at 6' 0" [183 cm] and 220 pounds [100 kg]. Hager is 6'4" - 6'5" [193 - 196 cm] and 254 - 265 pounds [115 - 120 kg]. Kiser is something like a 25:1 underdog. Hager has LEGIT amateur wrestling chops. In high school, he was the 215-pound Oklahoma State Amateur Wrestling Champion, and ranked #5 in the country in that weight class. Later, at the University of Oklahoma, he was named an All-American amateur wrestler. In 2005, he made it to the second round of the NCAA Division 1 Amateur Wrestling Championship tournament. The following year, he placed 7th in the country in that same tournament. He holds the University of Oklahoma's heavyweight amateur wrestling record for the most pins in a single season. ================================================== ================================================== =================================== Last edited by [MERIT]; 01-25-2019 at 07:53 PM. |
