UFC Fight Night 119: Pedro Munhoz Vs. Rob Font

The bantamweight division might be seeing quite a bit of a shuffle up as the fringe top – 10 bantamweights edge ever so close to the bantamweight title, but they will need to face each other first. Pedro Munhoz will face off against American Rob Font in an interesting matchup at UFC Fight Night 119. […]

Munhoz has been training hard and working on getting his striking on point from what we know and hopefully this will reflect in his fight against Font. So far, Munhoz has only been beaten by top 10 competitors Jimmie Rivera and Raphael Assuncao.

Moving onto Font, he holds a record of 14 – 2 and is known for being a powerful striker who not only can generate great force with his set of heavy hands, but also has very polished technique which makes him lethal at times. Font signed his UFC contract back in 2014 itself just like Munhoz, but has had an injury riddled career so far and ergo has not been as actively competing as Munhoz.

Both fighters are going to be coming into this fight with a solid game plan, and will have studied each other’s strengths and weaknesses without omitting any details. Munhoz will be the favorite though considering he has more experience under his belt and that Font may not be at 100% yet.

Coming to the prediction, it is going to be competitive and in fact, it could get neck to neck, but our money is on Munhoz for this one.

UFC Fight Night 119: Demian Maia Vs. Colby Covington

Apart from the UFC Fight Night 119 highlight fixture between the returning Machida and the underrated Brunson, another fight which has all eyes on it is the one between Demian Maia vs. Colby Covington. This fight matters substantially in terms of how things shape up going forward in the welterweight division. Maia is coming off […]

On the other hand, Colby Covington is not as experienced, but has certainly shown a lot of promise and potential and is a serious contender. Both fighters are grapplers, but that is where the similarities end. Both have very contrastingly different styles and that should make it an interesting matchup indeed.

On one hand we have Maia, who is an experienced top – notch Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu blackbelt that has put some of the best fighters in the world into unforgiving submissions and forced them to tap out. And then, there is Covington who is not exactly a gracious fighter and relies mostly on sheer brute strength and muscle power. Covington should be riding a high confidence wave coming into this match up. Covington loves to take down his opponents to the mat and then subject them to the classic ground and pound. Despite the fact that Maia lost his most recent outing, he has been in pretty good form otherwise and is 4 – 1 in his last five fights. For Covington, a win here will mean a possible chance a title fight and so he has a lot riding on the outcome of this fight.

Predicting this one is not going to be easy, the styles at play are rather contrasting, but Maia has been able to handle guys like Covington in the past and he should be able to come out on top here. We are going to go with Covington to win by decision.

UFC Fight Night 119: Lyoto Machida vs. Derek Brunson

As UFC fight night 119 draws closer, all eyes are on Lyoto Machida and Derek Brown who will take on each other in what is being touted as the highlight of the night. UFC 119 will take place in Brazil and coincidentally it also features some amazing Brazilian talent. This event is being termed the return of The Dragon as Machida will be coming back from after a rather long absence to take on Derek Brunson who is gaining quite a bit of traction and momentum in the highly competitive middleweight division.

Other fighters who will be featuring on the night and are worth mentioning are Demian Maia, Jim Miller and John Lineker. It is certainly going to be an entertaining fight night with a lot to look forward to.

Coming back to Lyoto Machida vs. Derek Brunson, Brunson will be fighting on Machida’s home soil as Machida makes a comeback and will be looking for nothing less than a win. Machida’s fighting is mostly influenced by Karate and he has a rather unique striking style which has proven to be difficult to deal with for most, if not all, of his prior opponents. However, the question everyone is asking is whether Machida will be able to hit the floor running since he has been out of action since June 2015 after having failed a drug test. It will be highly surprising if he isn’t at least a little rusty coming back. Brunson will not make things easy for Machida.

Brunson is more of a wrestler type of fighter who will be looking to get into close quarters. Machida however is agile and will not be easy to grab onto and take down. In terms of a prediction, despite the fact that Machida has been out for over two years, we cannot see him losing this one.

Machida to win by TKO.
