This weekend’s UFC 138 may be short on name power, but it certainly has what matters most—firepower. When Anthony Perosh and Cyrille Diabate open the night’s main card, there may not be too much on the line, but the fight has “Fight of the Night” written all over it.
All too often, a card stacked with some of MMA’s biggest names fails to deliver the exciting night of fights that we expect. As the stakes rise, fighters become more likely to take the safe road—not a very entertaining one.
UFC 138 should deliver a truly exciting night of fights. While there aren’t many well-known fighters on the card, they just may become well-known after November 5th.
This fight could offer a little bit of everything—stand up, the clinch and ground work—and could really end in any fashion. Sounds like a recipe for Fight of the Night to me.
Here’s why.
