UFC Fight Night 210: 170lbs: Kamaru Usman Vs. Sean Strickland

 TUF 21 saw Kamaru Usman (9-1) start and finish the show for the Blackzilans when he took out Michael Graves to start things off and then had Hayder Hassan tap out with an unforgiving choke in the finale.

We have seen Usman really establish himself as clear superior against the likes of Leon Edwards and Warlley Alves in his most recent fights. Of his professional victories, as many as five of them can be attributed to knock outs.

On the other hand, Sean Strickland rose to the ranks when he surprisingly and against all odds turned heads thanks to his defeat of the revered Bubba McDaniel. Furthermore, this victory came in Stricklands debut fight which really got him a lot of attention and the spotlight. He won with a submission. However, things quite have not carried on with the same sort of momentum, he lost his fight to Luke Barnatt, albeit the decision proved very controversial, and then he was defeated again by Santiago Ponzinibbio.

Since these two defeats, Strickland has come back strong with three back to back wins. His most recent fight and victory was against Tom Breese during UFC Fight Night 199.

Prediction – both fighters are well rounded and are mostly going to be cancelling each other out. The fight is going to be technical and a lot of it may be fought on the floor. Usman is brimming with confidence and we think he will come out the winner via a unanimous decision.

145 lbs – Myles Jury Vs. Mike De La Torre

Myles Jury (15 -2 in the UFC) had a start to his UFC career which most can only dream of. Six consecutive back to back wins had him feeling invincible until he came up against Donald Cerrone. Post his loss to Cerrone Jury went down to the Featherweight category hoping he would be able to get back to winning ways, however, reality hit him hard when a slightly overweight Charles Oliveira got him with a deadly guillotine.

Myles “Fury” Jury has been out of action for sixteen months almost since his loss to Oliveira and it is going to be very interesting indeed to see how he comes out swinging when he goes up against Mike De La Torre in UFC 210.

Our predictions for this one? Fury has been out of the game for a while, but we also know for a fact that he hasn’t been slacking off during that off time. Fury’s submission prowess may prove to be too much for De La Torre to handle. We are going to go with a victory to Jury via submission. We don’t see the fight progressing much past the first round.

UFC Fight Night 210 has a very exciting lineup of fights, but one of the most  anticipated fights is surely going to be Daniel Cormier taking on Anthony Johnson for the title of UFC light heavyweight champion. Not only will the outcome of the fight determine who is the next light heavyweight champion, but it will also affect the future and the path that the whole weight division itself will undertake going forward.

Cormier (18-MMA and 7-1 UFC) had already faced and fought against Johnson (22 – 5 MMA and 13 -5 UFC) once previously back in May of 2015 at UFC fight night 187. This fight saw Cormier emerge victorious and take the championship and the belt which before him was vacant. The fight had gone into the third round when Cormier won by submission.

It has been almost two years since that fight went down and the pair are going to be back at it. Will the fight yield a different result this time around? The bookmakers don’t seem to agree, but we have all seen the contender develop and grow as fighter in the two years since he last fought Cormier.

One thing is for sure – Cormier is going to have a much more paramount challenge to overcome this time around if he wants to cling on to that championship belt. Johnson is not the best on the ground, but has a deadly knockout punch  always up his sleeve.

145 lbs: Arnold Allen vs. Makwan Amirkhan

Londoners are in for a great night at UFC Fight Night 107 with a pretty nice line up in most categories. The 145 pound bout features Arnold Allen (11-1) vs. Makwan Amirkhan (13-2). The young pair is likely to fight a close match since both of them are talented and are expected to knock off many of their opponents in the coming years.

Allen’s debut in debut in 2015 was notable. After submitting Alan Omer he took on Yaotzin Meza six months later and won a cracker of a fight. Allen has managed to evolve into a well rounded fighter with tenacity although he may seem to drift at times. Amirkhan on the other hand is an aggressive opponent with the unique ability to go for broke no matter what his position. This game-plan could work and we may seem Amirkhan getting the better of Allen by submission.

155 lbs.: Joe Duffy vs. Reza Madadi

Joe Duffy (15-2) faces off Reza Madadi in the 155lbs category at UFC Fight Night 107 in London. As we recall, Duffy started his UFC career with two amazing wins that did not last 5 minutes in total against Jake Lindsey and Ivan Jorge. His next bout was well fought as well where he dropped a decision to Dustin Poirier. He then dropped and submitted Mitch Clarke six months later. With 10 submission and 4 knockouts in the early round it won’t seem likely that many will bet against Duffy.

Reza Madadi returned to the cage after 18 months following brushes with the law. He dropped a decision to Norman Parke and then scored a knock out against Yan Cabral in their Rotterdam fight. He has submitted eight opponents and has a top game that is seemingly effecting. His wrestling prowess is better than most in the lightweight category. However, lack of speed and striking attack could be Madadi’s downfall. It would make sense to put a few bucks on Duffy who should get through with a unanimous decision.

The Brazilian crowds are going to expect more than a few tough bouts at UFC Fight Night 106 in Fortaleza.

The Brazilian crowds are going to expect more than a few tough bouts at UFC Fight Night 106 in Fortaleza. Apart from the main event featuring welterweight import Kelvin Gastelum and fomer UFC champion Vitor Belfort the light heavyweight bout between Gian Villante and Mauricio Rua and another in the lightweight in which Beneil Dariush is pitted against Edson Barboza.

Gian Villante (15-7) vs. Mauricio Rua (24-10)

Rua enters the ring after back to back wins against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira and Corey Anderson. Rua made a great start to his career in combat sports but is now kind of had his enthusiasm mellowed down. His opponent, Villante too isn’t too much of a threat since he failed to gain any momentum and hasn’t been able to hit the top 10. Talent and skill isn’t his style. He has won most of his bouts through sheer toughness and courage. However, a seasoned fighter like Rua does have the upper hand in what could be a technical knockout.

Beneil Dariush (14-2) vs. Edson Barboza (18-4)

Fans of UFC must have noticed how Edson Barboza  gets so close yet so far from title contention especially in fights against Donald Cerrone and Tony Ferguson. Dariush should be a tough opponent since he is sure to bring out his grappling skills like he did against James Vick. Barboza is likely to do what he does best and that is keep circling and get in a few stunning leg kicks. If Dariush is mentally prepared for the initial onslaught from the Brazilian then he could make it a close fight. Nevertheless, we expect a unanimous decision in favor of Barboza.
