The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was live from Oklahoma City, OK for the third time in promotional history last Sunday (July 25, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 112: Chiesa vs. Lee. It turned out to be a solid night of scraps that saw five of 13 bouts ending within the distance, and with actions today in our rear perspective, let us look at some potential matchups featuring a few of the opponents from the evening…
Dominick Reyes vs. Marcos Rogerio Lima
Reyes impressed in his promotional introduction by dismantling and knocking out Joachim Christensen in less than half a minute into the opening round of activity. It was a picture-perfect debut for the undefeated light heavyweight, who might possibly bring a new life into the razor-thin division. For his next excursion inside the Octagon, I want to see him shoot on TUF two finalist Marcos Rogerio de Lima, who’s coming off a second-round submission loss to Ovince St. Preux just a few months ago. I think the Brazilian is a fantastic evaluation for Reyes his next workout, and this is a potential matchup I would be interested in seeing reserved for a future card. I believe it would be a solid addition to the preliminary card for September’s UFC 215 at Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.
Clay Guida vs. Jon Tuck
Guida impressed in his return to action in the UFC’s lightweight division following a brief stint at featherweight. Coming off a third-round TKO loss to Brian Ortega, Guida returned to the win column in impressive fashion last weekend by surviving a tough opening round against Erik Koch, just to return and dominate the next two rounds to get a unanimous-decision victory. It was a classic Clay Guida performance and an impressive victory for”The Carpenter” back in 155 pounds. For his next excursion, I would be interested in seeing him take on Guam’s Jon Tuck, who’s coming from a first-round rear-naked choke entry win over Takanori Gomi. I believe this potential lightweight contest would be a good addition to the preliminary card for October’s UFC 216 in vegas.
Tony Martin vs. Francisco Trinaldo
Martin defeated Johnny Case via unanimous decision on the judges’ scorecards after three back-and-forth rounds of entertaining action. The victory puts him on a three fight-winning streak inside the Octagon, and he hopes to make it four straight against ranked opposition his next time out. Input: Francisco Trinaldo. “Masaranduba” is coming from a second-round rear-naked choke entry loss to Kevin Lee, which snapped an impressive seven-fight winning streak for the TUF: Brazil veteran. I believe this uncommon”winner versus failure” matchup at 155 pounds makes sense for the two fighters, and I would like to see it booked for a future fight card, preferably on the primary card for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
