Just watched the weigh-in and can't wait for tomorrow night. One of the undercard fights that I am looking forward to is on the Facebook portion. Undefeated Stephen Thompson makes his UFC debut. Thompson is a former kickboxer compiling a combined pro and amateur record of 57-0 record before taking up MMA. He is 5-0 in MMA. He gets another newbie in Dan Stiggen to start his UFC career. Thompson was an absolute kickboxing terror. I can't wait to see him in the Octagon. PPV Card Nick Diaz vs. Carlos Condit for the Interim Welterweight Championship Roy Nelson vs. Fabrico Werdum (heavyweights) Josh Koscheck vs. Mike Pierce (welterweights) Renan Brao vs. Scott Jorgensen (bantamweights) Ed Herman vs. Clifford Starks (middleweights) Preliminary Card (FX) Dustin Poirier vs. Max Holloway (featherweights) Matthew Riddle vs. Henry Martinez (welterweights) Alex Caceres vs. Edwin Figueroa (bantamweights) Matt Brown vs. Chris Cope (welterweights) Preliminary Card (Facebook.Com) Dan Stittgen vs. Stephen Thompson (welterweights) Rafael Natal vs. Michael Kuiper (middleweights)
I checked out that Thompson kid. Nice KO but to be honest I don't see him going very far. I don't think his style will do him any favors in the UFC. Too many fancy kicks and what not which will result in plenty of opportunities to take him down. Still should make for some exciting fights if paired up with fellow strikers. Didn't like the cheap shots on the guy who was clearly out.
"Nick Diaz has the best boxing in MMA, hands down" - Goldberg "Joh Koscheck has the most improved striking in MMA". Dipshit Goldberg....again This nut riding shit has got to stop. Pathetic.
