Kunagi Tom Greenis populaarsemaks saanud maal (mäleta teda?) laul – “Üksildane rootslane (Bum Bumi laul)” – Ultimate Fighting Championship toob Fight Night kaardi, mis loodetavasti toob rohkem tähelepanu kui lugu Kanada tagumikust.

Uue aasta esimene FOX-kaart, UFC Fight Night: Rootsi, toob FOX-i riikliku etapi ülemeremaadesse ja annab Ameerikale ülevaate UFC jätkuvast ülemeremaade laienemisest. Kuid erinevalt varasematest UFC ülemerekaartidest, see pole tähevõimsusel lühike. Vaatame, kas selgepiiriline ei. 1 Selgub pretendent Jon Jonesi kergekaalu tiitlile.

Akira Corassani (16-4-1) vs. Sam Sicilia (13-5) (Kehakaalu - 145 lbs.)

See on The Ultimate Fighteri vilistlaste kokkulangevus, mõlemad poisid kaotavad kaotused ja Corassani hüppavad Max Hollowayle ja Dustin Poirierile. Corassani on ka mõlemas võitluses varakult lõppenud, samas kui Sicilia on kaotamas esitamise kaotuse. Rahvarohkes sulejoonis, väljaviskamis- või esitamisvõit aitaks kummagi nende härraste varude suurendamise suunas kaugele jõuda. Mulle meeldib, et Sicilia lõpetab Corassani ja võib-olla annab talle pärast kolme sirget kaotust oma kõndimispaberid.

Võitja: Sitsiilia teise ringi TKO poolt

Phil “Mr. Wonderful” Davis (13-2) vs. Ryan “Darth” Bader (19-4) (Kerge raskekaal - 205 lbs.)

Mõlemad tüübid on valmis veel üheks kergejõustiku divisjoni tipus sõitmiseks. Mõlemad tüübid on võitmas ja näevad üksteisega vastamisi kolledžis, kui Davis maadles Penni osariigi nimel ja Bader maadles Arizona osariigi nimel. Davis kasutab oma maadlust vastaste lämmatamiseks ja ühehäälsete võitude jahvatamiseks, Bader kasutab oma maadlust vajadusel, kuid tal on ka surmav löögivõime.

Ma loodan, et Davis proovib selle võitluse varakult maale viia, ja kui tal see õnnestub, siis arvan, et saab Baderit madalamal hoidmiseks kasutada oma eelise ja sportlikkuse. Bader peab selle võitluse alal hoidma, et tal võimalus oleks, ja ma arvan, et ta väldib kiusatust kätte maksta Davisile oma kolledži kaotuse eest, hakates osalema teises maadlusmatšis. Mulle meeldib, et Bader maandub rohkem kaadreid ja kogub häiritud võitu.

Võitja: Bader ühehäälse otsusega

Ja "Hendo" Henderson (30-12) vs. Gegard Mousasi (35-5-2) (Keskmine kaal - 185 lbs.)

Henderson naaseb keskmisesse raskusesse pärast enamasti halbade raskustega kergejõustikujooksu, sealhulgas visatakse ümber nagu kaltsunukk ja esitas Daniel Cormier oma viimases võitluses. Lihtsamalt öeldes, kui Henderson ei saa oma patenteeritud “H-pommi” paremat kätt maha lüüa, ta on kergesti võimeline lüüasaamist.

Ma arvan, et möödunud aastate sõjad on Hendersonile lõpuks järele jõudnud. Ta langeb kui üks suurimaid võitlejaid, kes pole kunagi UFC tiitlit omanud, kuid ta lihtsalt ei suuda enam spordi eliidiga sammu pidada. H-pommi maha laskmiseks jätab ta end lahti, ja Mousasi kasutab seda ära.

Võitja: Mousasi kolmanda vooru esitamise teel

Aleksander “Mauler” Gustafsson (16-2) vs. Anthony “Rumble” Johnson (18-4) (Kerge raskekaal - 205 lbs.)

Selle võitluse võitja saab järgmise võidu kergekaalu meistril Jon Jonesil, ja see tähendaks Gustafssoni kordusmatši. Ta viis Jonesi lüüasaamisele lähemale kui keegi teine ​​nende eepose ajal on 2013 matchup. Sõltuvalt sellest, kes küsib, Mõne inimese arvates võitis rootslane selle võitluse.

Johnson tõuseb kiiresti pärast 205-naelset redelit pärast Antonio Rogerio Nogueira välja löömist ja Phil Davise üle nurjatud võidu saavutamist, et tema ronimist alustada. Johnsonil on ka laastav koputusvõim ja kui ta maandub ühe sellise lasku Gustafssoni peale, rootslase tee lunastuseni on rööbastelt maha võetud. Kuid ma arvan, et Gustafsson kasutab oma haarde eelist (mis on peaaegu identne Jonesiga) hoida Johnson vaikselt ja panna Johnson minema tervelt viis ringi.

Gustafssoni löömine 205-naelses divisjonis on ületamatu, ja mulle meeldib, et ta maandub piisavalt palju, et sel aastal Jonesiga kordusmatš saada.

Võitja: Gustafsson ühehäälse otsusega
