Whether you just have a short downtime during work, or don’t want a lengthy breakdown, these “Quick Breaks” are for you. “Quick Breaks” are short breakdowns of upcoming fights. In a summed up focus of strengths, weaknesses and variables; this will analyze what could happen in the fight, and end with this writer’s prediction.
The UFC will host its third event on the FX network this Friday night. It will all go down at the BankAtlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida. Fuel TV will host eight prelim fights, followed by four main card fights on FX starting at 9:00PM EST. Headlining the main card is the highly-anticipated rematch between Demetrious Johnson and Ian McCall.
In the blue corner you have Ian McCall. “Uncle Creepy” as he is also known, is a strong and exciting fighter who put on a show against Johnson in their first meeting. His wrestling and general control dictated a good deal of the fight, and ultimately ended up with him in a dominant position over Johnson at the end of the fight.
McCall’s UFC career is only that one fight, which was a draw; but that fight proved to UFC fans that he was not just some guy with a mustache, but a very credible contender.
In the red corner you have Demetrious Johnson. “Might Mouse” has been around the main stage longer than McCall, and he always puts on exciting fights. His speed and cardio is astounding, as he continues to keep a constant pace of swift movement. He too will be looking to stop the critics who think McCall was the real victor of the last fight.
This fight is intriguing because it is a rematch of knowledge. We will see which fighter learned the most from the first fight, and how they will apply new strategies and improve on old ones. This fight will be between two guys who have something very important to prove, but also will be battling for the spot to face Joseph Benavidez for the inaugural Flyweight title.
Both men are fast, strong and have great cardio. McCall might finish what he started in the last fight, but Johnson should never be counted out or taken lightly. Johnson could very well end this on the feet, or stay off the ground and win a decision. Time will tell, and come this Friday, we will have only one more step to crowning a brand new UFC champion.
Prediction: Ian McCall wins via unanimous decision.
