Since a few years I've been following the UFC. Fight sports were never for me but ever since I started watching K1 because of so many Dutch kick boxers dominating that world there came I a time that I crossed over the MMA and all of a sudden I became a fan. So I'm pretty stoked for tonights fight card because not only does it have three great title fights, it also stacked with many other very interesting fights.
In a few hours from now UFC 217 will begin! Do not forget to tune in so you won't miss a single punch, kick or choke!
Let's zoom in for a second on all three title fights!
Joana (with the unpronounceable last name which is the reason why the UFC started using her first name) versus Namajunas
This is one the easiest to call... The fight will be won by Joanna, no doubt. Namajunas is a warrior but she simply cannot withstand the pressure of many many punches and kicks that Joanna will throw at her. Joanna will not be able to knock her out is my guess but after the final round it will be a unanimous decision in favor of Joanna.
Garbrandt versus Dillashaw
Man, Garbrandt looked so good against Cruz. He was fighting so composed that I believe tonight the same will happen against Dillashaw. Don't really like him as a person though, he seems so angry all the time holding grudges against everyone who isn't "Team Alpha Male" and he doesn't come across as the smartest tool in the shed, but he is a great tool. I like Dillashaw as a person and also because of his unorthodox movement and I'm sure he'll land many shots at Garbrandt in the first two rounds but after that Garbrandt will take over the fight and pick him apart. I don't believe we will see them on the ground so much, I think we'll see Garbrandt KO Dillashaw.
MAIN EVENT: Bisping versus GSP
The fight we are all waiting for! The comeback of the legendary GSP!!! I'm hoping for this one to be a great fight that we will talk about long after but I'm afraid that the same thing will happen as with all other (older) fighters who came back after they've been out of the game for a few years. The game has evolved, the ones ruling the at the top are different kind of animals and for GSP to come out as the winner... I think his chances are slim. But I would love to see him dominate Bisping though! GSP was a great fighter and I would like for him to retake the throne so that he can solidify his legacy, I also like him as a person. He's composed, he seems smart, he's positive, he's funny but most of all he is very respectful to everyone. Can't say the same for Bisping. I'm hoping for a huge GSP win, but I think Bisiping will win by a KO.
Other good fights will probably be Thompson versus Masvidal, I hope that Thompson will win but I'll have to give that one to Masvidal. I'm also curious about what Gall will do versus Brown, Gall is a very technical fighter who is still undefeated.
Let's hope for some great fights tonight! Have fun everyone!
