the one to knock off the cur-
rent champ, and will probably
be a very big underdog for the
fight.
What makes this event even
better, if an event can get any
better when Jones is fighting
on it already, is there is another
title fight on it.
In the co-main event Chris Wei-
dman will be taking on Vitor
Belfort for the middleweight ti-
tle. Weidman has defended his
title twice now and has a tough
matchup against Belfort. Bel-
fort is a very good striker and
has won his last three fights
by KO/TKO. This may be Weid-
man’s hardest title defense just
because when he fought An-
derson Silva it was the second
time in a row, which meant he
was fully prepared for him.
Jones is my favorite fighter in
the UFC, if you did not know,
and I get excited to WATCH
him fight. Usually this would
be the fight I am most ex-
cited for whenever he is on a
card, but not this time around.
The Weidman vs. Belfort fight
should be great too, but again
there is another fight that ex-
cites me more than this title
fight as well.
I don’t know about all of you,
but Khabib Nurmagomedov
vs. Donald “Cowboy” Cerrone
has me pumped up. I am more
excited to WATCH these two
go at it on May 23 than I am to
watch two title fights, one of
which has my favorite fighter.
The reason?
These two, Nurmagomedov in
particular who hasn’t been a
stranger to twitter trash talk-
ing, have been talking trash
on twitter to each other. Nur-
magomedov wanted to fight
Cowboy before, but Nurma-
gomedov tore his meniscus
and was sidelined six months.
There is nothing better than
two fighters who talk a lot
of trash or have “beef” lead-
ing up to the fight. Then, be-
fore you know it, the door of
the cage closes and all of that
means nothing. Whoever wins
this fight is almost a lock to
fight for the lightweight title,
which will be either current
champion Anthony Pettis or his
challenger Rafael dos Anjos,
who fight on March 14 at UFC
185.
This card is stacked with fights
and is headed by the two title
fights. There are also two other
big fights where Travis Browne
takes on Andrei Arlovski and
Joseph Benavidez takes on
John Moraga. This event has a
lot to be excited for, but I am
most excited for the Nurma-
gomedov vs. Cowboy fight.
Which fight are you most ex-
cited for?
