Fight of the Night
Miesha Tate vs. Amanda Nunes –
Look, any title fight on this card
could possibly trump the rest if it
shows to be an exciting fight, but
who always brings a barnburner of
a fight if competitive? Miesha Tate,
every time. Her winning lioness roar
always gives me goosebumps, wit-
nessing the happiness and passion
afterwards is always a treat. Nunes
though, not here to play around
or become someone’s breakfast.
Her only loss came from the same
fighter who beat Miesha Tate back
in 2013, Cat Zingano. Even though
MMA math isn’t always (or hard-
ly ever) something to put all your
trust in when trying to foresee the
result of a bout, nevermind a bonus
award. With that being said, this is
a sleeper for Fight of the Night, on
a evening where potentially FOTN
could occur anywhere and every-
where on the card.
Performance of the Night
Jon Jones possibly uniting the in-
terim- and championship belts, af-
ter having his title taken away by
not excelling outside the cage as
he has done inside of one. If Jones
succeed on his mission to reclaim
glory, perhaps even showing us
the Jones of old, I am confident a
Performance check will be sent his
way.
Brock Lesnar – Oh yeah, I said it.
Before you start shaking your head
in disgust at my suggestion, I would
like to say – I understand, I felt the
same as you only days ago. But after
watching
Firas Zahabi “Pre-Fight
Analysis”
video where he gives
Mark Hunt a 20% chance of sur-
viving the takedown of Brock and
ending it on the feet, the fashion
we are most used of seeing the Su-
per Samoan collect his victories and
performance bonuses. BUT, what
if he can’t get up like Firas Zahabi
says? That would equal a 265 lbs
of heavy muscles with great wres-
tling credentials to go along with
that is now in top control, where
Hunt can’t get up. And if you don’t
remember anything from the first
time Brock was occupying the Oc-
tagon, his ground and pound is like
a short visit to hell during a thun-
derstorm, nobody survives it.
