Some pretty good fights this weekend!
First, here is a video link for the media day faceoffs - check out the heat!
Volkan Oezdemir vs Ilir Latifi cancelled
I was looking forward to seeing Volkan fight Latifi, but the bout has just been cancelled and it seems that Latifi has a back injury.
Fights
Some other fights I am looking forward to. One for sure is Jimi Manuwa vs Aleks Rakic - it would be nice to see Manuwa get a good win and get some traction again. I like Manuwa and his last fight against Thiago Santos was f*****g CRAZY! Amazing to watch! He's also recently lost to Jan and Volkan, so being 0-3 in his last 3 fights, he really needs this win.
Amirkhani vs Chris Fishgold should be great! There sure is some bad blood... Chris is a former cage warriors champ and awesome BJJ specialist. I hope he puts the beating on Amirkhani!
The Main Event!
Gus vs Smith! This is what we are all wanting to see. This is an interesting one as they're both coming off of losses to Jones, and pretty bad losses too. I think they both looked very average against Jon, and didn't really do anything, at all!
Sure, these are both great fighters, and have the resumes to show. But with someone like Jon in the division, I have to think, what are these guys fighting for? I'm sure, I'm 100% sure these both would love a chance at redemption against Bones. But they have both just been dominated by him.
It's actually a tough one for me to pick, but I'm going with Gus. I wouldn't really be surprised if Smith wins. I'm basing this off of their last fights, and both looked properly defeated. Who you got?
Is Jones just too good? What's next for the winner of this fight?
