The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was live from Oklahoma City, OK for the next time in promotional background last Sunday (July 25, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 112: Chiesa vs. Lee. It turned out to be a solid night of scraps which found five of 13 bouts ending within the distance, and with action now in our rear perspective, let’s take a look at some possible matchups featuring some of the competitors in the evening…
Dominick Reyes vs. Marcos Rogerio de Lima
Reyes impressed in his promotional debut by dismantling and knocking out Joachim Christensen in less than half a minute to the opening round of activity. It turned out to be a picture-perfect debut for the undefeated light hearted, who could possibly bring some new life into the razor-thin branch. For his next outing inside the Octagon, I would like to watch him shoot on TUF 2 finalist Marcos Rogerio de Lima, who’s coming from a second-round entry loss to Ovince St. Preux only a couple of weeks ago. I think the Brazilian is a fantastic test for Reyes his next workout, and this is a possible matchup I’d be interested in seeing reserved for a future card. I think that it would be a good addition to the preliminary card for September’s UFC 215 in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Clay Guida vs. Jon Tuck
Guida impressed in his return to action from the UFC’s lightweight division following a short stint at featherweight. Coming off a third-round TKO loss to Brian Ortega, Guida returned to the win column in impressive fashion this past weekend by surviving a tough opening round against Erik Koch, only to return and dominate the next two rounds for a unanimous-decision success. It was a classic Clay Guida performance along with an impressive victory for»The Carpenter» back at 155 pounds. For his next outing, I’d be interested in seeing him shoot on Guam’s Jon Tuck, who’s coming from a first-round rear-naked choke submission win over Takanori Gomi. I think this possible lightweight contest would be a solid addition to the card for October’s UFC 216 in vegas.
Tony Martin vs. Francisco Trinaldo
Martin defeated Johnny Case via unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards following three back-and-forth rounds of interesting action. The victory puts him three fight-winning streak within the Octagon, and he hopes to make it four straight against ranked opposition his next time out. Enter: Francisco Trinaldo. «Masaranduba» is coming from a second-round rear-naked choke submission loss to Kevin Lee, which snapped an impressive seven-fight winning streak to the TUF: Brazil veteran. I think this rare»winner versus loser» matchup at 155 lbs makes sense for both fighters, and I would like to see it booked for a long struggle card, preferably on the main card for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
