It’s finally UFC 198 fight day, as we await what could easily be the best pay-per-view card of the year, and that’s quite a statement considering UFC 200 is just around the corner. That bold statement is backed up by a huge line up of some of the promotion’s biggest stars, including a stacked line up of Brazilian MMA legends. Fabricio Wedum defends the heavyweight strap in the main event, Vitor Belfort battles Jacare Souza in the co-main event and, among many other great fights, Cris Cyborg debuts against Leslie Smith.

One young Brazilian prospect who hopes to one day get mentioned in the elite few to go down as all time Brazilian greats is Thomas Almeida.

Almeida 1

‘Thominhas’ is an undefeated UFC bantamweight who trains in the renowned Chute Boxe Academy, and he’s been making mincemeat of the competition so far. With a stellar 21-0 record, Almeida fights with destruction of his opponents in the forefront of his gameplan. Some of his knockouts are instant classics, such as his most recent finish of Anthony Birchak in late 2015.

During his four fight UFC streak, the former Legacy FC bantamweight champion has won fight night bonuses in every appearance, with three wins coming by way of stoppage. He’s being pegged for a very bright future in the UFC, and it’s no surprise.

Almeida Knee

The free fight video we’ll be looking at today is the thoroughly exciting showdown with Brad Pickett at UFC 189. For obvious reasons this fight flew under the radar to an extent, although Almeida did win a performance bonus for the brutal flying knee KO.

The scrap was a back-and-forth exciting war that provided one of the most memorable knockouts of the year, but was a little overshadowed by the co-main and main event that featured a crazy battle between Rory MacDonald and Robbie Lawler, and Conor McGregor’s interim title win against Chad Mendes.

Watch the awesome Thomas Almeida vs. Brad Pickett video and get in the mood for tonight’s UFC 198 madness!

Fight of the Day: Paul Daley Puts on a Thai Plum Clinic Against Jimmy Pocket Lukasz Chlewicki at Cage Warriors 57

Remember when we told you that Paul Daley was scheduled to slaughter some poor Polack at Cage Warriors 57 last weekend? Well, as luck would have it, he all but slaughtered some poor Polack at Cage Warriors 57 last weekend. Crazy, right?

To his credit, +800 underdog Lukasz Chlewicki didn’t seem too afraid to stand and bang with “Semtex,” which when you look at Daley’s highlight reel, is akin to sticking your foot in a bear trap and hoping to win the Boston Marathon. Unfortunately, Chlewicki’s persistent clinch work would turn out to be the cause of his demise, as the visibly larger Daley would use the opportunities to put on a Muay Thai clinic. Punishing elbows and vicious knees befell Chlewicki until a Marvin Eastman-esque goat vagina was opened up on the right side of his shiny, bald head, forcing the ringside physician to call the fight between the first and second round.

Chin up, Lukasz. You might have had your ass kicked by one of the best ass-kickers outside of the UFC, but let’s look at the positives:

1) You ended the fight in the same state of matter as you began it in.

2) You were able to chew solid foods the next day.

3) You were fighting in a cage.

Knockout of the Day: Justice is Served to Another Fake Glove-Tapper

(Skip to the 1:30 mark to watch Karma work its magic.) 

There is perhaps no greater a hooley-hoo punk-ass jabroni in the MMA world than the guy who fakes the glove tap and immediately tries to knock his opponent out/take him down. It’s a garbage ass maneuver, perpetrated by only the soggiest of floor turds, but the one good thing that can come from such blatant bitchassery is watching it backfire in said jabroni’s face. Paul Kelly tried it against Donald Cerrone at UFC 126 and was promptly strangled for his efforts. JR Fuller tried it against Jonathan Harris and was promptly dicknailed. But today’s cheap-shotter, Adam Fyfe, almost got away with this bitch move when he pulled it on fellow ammy Alex Thorne at Absolute Adrenaline: Platinum on November 4th. Almost.

This son of a motherless goat even had the audacity to raise his fist first once the fight began, but before Thorne could even acknowledge the false attempt at sportsmanship, Fyfe pounced, dropping Thorne with a right hand that nearly sealed the deal right then and there. But what Fyfe failed to realize is that you just can’t keep a good man down, something one of his kin might have told him had he not been the product of the aforementioned goat sodomy.

After clearing the cobwebs as best as he could, Thorne rose back to his feet — not unlike the might Phoenix from that of its ashes — and caught Fyfe with a left hook that all but sent him into stasis. It looks like the goat that shat out Fyfe happened to be narcoleptic as well [BA DUM TSSH!].

It would be Fyfe’s fourth (T)KO loss in 7 fights, which begs one to ask what exactly he is trying to prove in the first place. Unless he is some kind of self-aware genius attempting to go down in MMA history as the martyr who sacrificed his brain to prove that justice still exists in this world, in which case he is undoubtedly succeeding.

The Aoki/Alvarez Rematch Is Looking Like It Will Happen During Bellator’s Sixth Season

(Aoki/Alvarez 1, from K1 Dynamite 2008. THIS is how men fight.) 

A lot has happened in the four years since Eddie Alvarez was heel-hooked by Shinya Aoki in the first round of their inaugural lightweight championship match back in December of 2008. Aoki has fought a remarkable 13 times since then, picking up notable wins over Marcus Aurelio and Rich Clementi as well as evening the score with DREAM rival Joachim Hansen. He has only gone 1-1 in the States, however, dropping a humiliating unanimous decision to current Strikeforce lightweight champ Gilbert Melendez and notching a quick neck crank submission over Lyle Beerbohm.

Alvarez, on the other hand, went on to become the Bellator lightweight champion after defeating Toby Imada at Bellator 12 in June of ’09, but defended the belt only once in the five fights that succeeded it. We last saw the Philadelphia Fight Factory standout lose said title via fourth round submission in an absolute war with Michael Chandler at Bellator 58 that was my personal pick for 2011’s Fight of the Year.

Well now it seems that these two are destined to collide ONCE AGAIN, in what will surely be…an absolute war (isn’t it funny how you can impersonate Mike Goldberg without even talking?).

Well now it seems that these two are destined to collide ONCE AGAIN, in what will surely be…an absolute war (isn’t it funny how you can impersonate Mike Goldberg without even talking?). Bellator officials have hinted that the long awaited rematch “should be happening soon,” and considering Alvarez’s name is noticeably absent from the season six lightweight tournament, the likelihood of this rematch happening in the near future is all the more evident. Let’s just hope Aoki doesn’t go entering himself in one of those wacky mixed rule bouts that are supposed to be squash matches anytime soon, and this one should be a lock, ladies and gentlemen.

I went ahead and posted the Alvarez/Chandler fight below. If you’ve got an extra 20 minutes to spare (and let’s be honest, you do), check out one of the most entertaining fights in recent memory.
