Jiji Posted February 13, 2020 Share Posted February 13, 2020 Funny how Michel Pereira lost to no-nonsense guy that didn't have a tonne of skill but was just more determined than Michel and they're sticking him in there with perhaps the most hardheaded, dogged UFC fighter of all time in Sanchez. That's a test. I kind of actually dig it over them lobbing Pereira a can't miss type of rebound fight. If he loses, he probably wasn't going to be a big deal anyway. If he wins, he shows growth and beats a famous, beloved name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he wins, he shows growth and beats a famous, beloved name. Yup, that's the whole point of the fight besides also having an entertaining bout. Pereira would probably be best advised not to go full Will Ospreay early this time. That would help his cardio. The UFC sorta walked into Johnny Walker. With Pereira, there was a chance his luck was going to run out before long. His record is a bit spotty as opposed to Walker, who pre-UFC at least lost to future UFC vets. He can show against Diego if he can turn it around or if he is indeed what his record reflects. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Daniel Rodriguez absolutely throttled Tim Means. Not the best week for current and former FIT NHB fighters between Montano's injury, Borg missing weight, and Means losing to an underdog. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 BTW we also had another mini upset with John Dodson stopping prospect Nathaniel Wood. That is Dodson's first stoppage win since beating Manny Gamburyan in 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Wood was getting up but it I ain't going to complain about a close call on an early stoppage. Looked like Dodson wasn't committing to his punches because he doesn't have the speed he once had, but he did look quicker than he has recently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elsalvajeloco Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 I don't know what it is about Medeiros (maybe his frame or his facial expressions), but he looks like he gets shaken up just a little with every punch landed on him. It's not that Vannata was really sitting down on his punches either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be like showing highlights for a HW boxing prospect and 54 year old Oliver McCall (who still fights btw) shows up. You don't know exactly how to feel really.

Jiji Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Mostly sad at dude's legal issues. Had to wiki him to see what's up and god damn is that a long list of arrests. And 11 straight losses. Forgot it's actually "Krazy" and not Crazy too, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiji Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 (edited) Solid connection though! Was about to knee him Keith Hackney style then go for some Coleman headbutts from guard. Edited February 16, 2020 by Oyaji Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was about to knee him Keith Hackney style then go for some Coleman headbutts from guard. I don't know if anyone remembers, but what the hell? That knee reminds of when All Japan and New Japan had that little invasion/working relationship in like 2001, and Mitsuya Nagai decided to fucking kick Takashi Iizuka hard as hell in the head like 10 times in the corner before knocking out him cold legit with a stiff kick to the jaw and kneeing him flush in the face after he was knocked out. That put Iizuka out of action for over a year. Motherfucker thought he was in PRIDE FC. Edited February 16, 2020 by Elsalvajeloco 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiji Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Was that what gave Iizuka the wonky eye? I remember it vaguely as that was when I was getting into Japanese wrestling and I was trying to consume everything I could as a poor high school student. If I didn't watch it, I read about it on the creep's website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure, but several years earlier at WrestleWar 92, he had an infamous match tagging up with Fujinami when he was still Takayuki against the Steiners. It was an incredibly stiff match where Iizuka's eye got swollen up bad. It may be a condition from that match if it was the same eye. He also may have had a concussion in that match as well cause the Steiner took ALL the liberties in that match.

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 16, 2020 Author Share Posted February 16, 2020 Is this the first time a husband and wife duo have fought on the same UFC card? Probably going to be the last for awhile because Mark has lost three straight after tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
