UFC FIGHT NIGHT 90, JULY. 7
Fight of the Night
Rafael dos Anjos vs. Eddie Alvarez –
This here will answer the question,
who has the most narly pressure to
bully their opponent around? RDA’s
nightmarish tempo he puts on peo-
ple lately has been very exciting to
witness, however, Alvarez can keep
an high intensity fight if need be
himself, but will it overcome and
defeat, what seems to be, an un-
stoppable force that is the light-
weight champion? No clue, but it
feels like two trains heading right
for each other, and I for one can’t
wait.
Performance of the Night
Derrick Lewis, “The Beast” doesn’t
normally win without leaving some-
one unconscious from his heavy-
hitting hands, and a declining Roy
Nelson, who depend almost solely
on his thunderous right hand and
iron chin might be coming up short
in this fight. Lewis is on a tare, and
at only 31-years-old he is a veteran
and a prospect in a division where
the average age for the elite of the
division is around 35.
Joseph Duffy is coming of his first
loss in his UFC career, against ‘The
Diamond’ Dustin Poirier, but before
the decision loss, Duffy was having
remarkable success in the Octa-
gon, showcasing mostly his fantas-
tic boxing and head-movement. A
stoppage is very possible for Duffy
if he keeps the fight on the feet,
regardless of Duffy’s own success
with submissions, Mitch Clark’s
only path to victory in this fight, in
my opinion, is through the way of
grappling, and if Duffy takes that
out of the equation with his own
strong ground game, he could and
should be able to let those hands
do the knock out dance.
