On October 1st, the UFC goes to Washington, DC for the first time!
The card is set to be headlined by a bantamweight title fight, featuring Dominick Cruz (18-1) defending the title against Demetrious “Mighty Mouse” Johnson (10-1).
The co-main event features 6’11”, Stefan “The Skyscraper” Struve, taking on 5’11”, Pat “HD” Barry.
This fight pits the tallest heavyweight against the shortest, in what is sure to be an explosive fight between two outstanding kickboxers.
Struve comes in off a devastating knockout loss to Travis Browne at UFC 130, while Barry comes in off an even more devastating loss to Cheick Kongo, in what many call the greatest comeback in MMA history.
Both of these two are going to be looking for a win, and looking for a big statement at that. Expect a knockout one way or the other.
Maybe Barry will try to pull out the flying clothesline.
The main card was just finalized today and it looks like this:
- Bantamweight Title Fight: Dominick Cruz (c) vs. Demetrious Johnson
- Heavyweight Fight: Pat Barry vs. Stefan Struve
- Welterweight Fight: Anthony Johnson vs. Charlie Brennemen
- Lightweight Fight: Mac Danzig vs. Matt Wiman
