UFC 170: 5 Reasons to Watch
Just two months eliminated from her eighth-straight armbar victory above Miesha Tate at UFC 168, women’s bantamweight winner Ronda Rousey will appear to defend her title reverse undefeated Sara McMann this weekend at UFC one hundred seventy.
It really is a rapid turnaround for Rousey, who has only fought 4 occasions in the past two yrs, but it must provide her very well as she makes an attempt to solidify her part as the UFC’s most important star.
But before Rousey and McMann set the Octagon ablaze, there are a number of a lot more matchups to be excited about.
Below are five reasons to look at a Rashad Evans-much less UFC one hundred seventy this Saturday in Las Vegas.
When the term funk is linked with combined martial arts, persons routinely feel of Ben Askren.
But as historic as it would be to see Askren struggle at UFC one hundred seventy (due to the fact he’ll in no way fight in the UFC so prolonged as Dana “Big Papi” White is operating the demonstrate), I’m really chatting about Aljamain “Funk Master” Sterling.
As the newest member of Ray Longo and Matt Serra’s brief, still amazing, listing of UFC athletes, Sterling is a dynamo at bantamweight.
Undefeated at 8-, the 24-calendar year-aged possesses Dominick Cruz-like variety at 5’7″, not to point out his submission game has exponentially evolved over his final handful of fights.
He is a welcoming sight to a division constantly in search of new contenders, so pay near focus as Sterling helps make his Octagon debut this weekend against fellow UFC newcomer Cody Gibson.
Rousey and McMann aren’t the only globe-course ladies getting the middle of the cage this Saturday.
No. three Alexis Davis and No. five Jessica Eye are also set to wage war in a divisional showdown that carries foreseeable future title implications.
As one of the grittiest strikers in the body weight course, Eye possesses a relevant stand-up recreation related to that of Nick Diaz. She’s tough, really hard-nosed and loves to trade in near quarters.
Davis on the other hand, is a very little more calculated. She’s quite good on the ground, sensational in the clinch and lately displayed the endurance and take care of on her toes reverse Liz Carmouche that could give Eye challenges.
It’s an unpredictable matchup that will be positive to conclude the Fox Sports 1 preliminary stockpile with a woman’s touch (or devastating uppercut).
