Lawful Metal Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 So, I don't think I recognize a name on the early prelims. Who to watch out for? Did I mention that I'm going? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did I mention that I'm going? I’ll let the experts give more detailed analysis, but Mike Mathetha is known as Blood Diamond and trains under Eugene Bareman at City Kickboxing alongside Adesanya. He has some kickboxing KO highlights out there but is making his UFC debut and is apparently very unorthodox in his MMA approach. Another CKB guy on the card is Carlos Ulberg who I think was a TUF guy and has had one fight (loss) so far. Hernandez is a lightweight who’s had some Performance of the Night KOs (including beating Dariush) and was pretty disgruntled about not being on the main card. That’s all I got.

Elsalvajeloco Posted February 11, 2022 Author Share Posted February 11, 2022 I feel like they didn't exactly do Roxy any favors on her way out giving her Casey O'Neill. This feels like one of those Japanese wrestling retirements where you have to go out on an emphatic loss. Such is the life cycle of fighters, I guess. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lawful Metal Posted February 11, 2022 Share Posted February 11, 2022 Yeah, but sometimes Roxy surprises ya. That's why she's fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twiztor Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 Alex Perez missed weight, so his prelim fight with Matt Schnell is off tomorrow's card. somehow, the choice was made to bump Phillips/Rojo from the main card down to the prelims, and elevate Hernandez/Moicano to the PPV portion. weird re-arrangement. makes perfect sense, Moicano shouldn't have been on the early prelims anyway IMO. but it doesn't really affect me since i watch all the fights anyway.

The Natural Posted February 12, 2022 Share Posted February 12, 2022 (edited) William Knight missed weight by 12 POUNDS over the Light Heavyweight limit taking the fight on short notice. Knight vs. Maxim Grishin will now be a Heavyweight fight. Jesus at missing weight to that extent. Reminds me of Anthony Johnson 11 pounds over the Middleweight division limit vs. Vitor Belfort at UFC 142.

Lawful Metal Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Early prelims - Blood Diamond fucking sucks! Douglas de Silva de Andrade is a tough motherfucker after getting dropped and bloodied in the first to come back like he did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawful Metal Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Kyler’s mounted triangle to armbar was slick as hell. Good fight! Excited for Roxy’s final fight. Hope she goes out on top! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
