The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was live from Oklahoma City, OK for the third time in promotional history last Sunday (July 25, 2017) using UFC Fight Night 112: Chiesa vs. Lee. It was a good night of scraps which saw five of 13 bouts ending inside the space, and with actions now in our rear perspective, let us look at some possible matchups featuring some of the opponents in the evening…
Dominick Reyes vs. Marcos Rogerio Lima
Reyes impressed in his promotional introduction by dismantling and knocking out Joachim Christensen in just less than half a minute to the opening round of action. It was a picture-perfect debut for the undefeated light hearted, who might potentially bring some new life into the razor-thin branch. For his next outing inside the Octagon, I would like to see him shoot on TUF two finalist Marcos Rogerio de Lima, who’s coming off a second-round entry loss to Ovince St. Preux only a couple of weeks ago. I believe the Brazilian is a good evaluation for Reyes his second workout, and this is a potential matchup I would be interested in viewing booked for a future card. I think 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 from the UFC’s lightweight branch following a short stint in featherweight. Coming off a third-round TKO loss to Brian Ortega, Guida returned into the win column in impressive fashion this past weekend by living a rough opening round against Erik Koch, just to return and dominate the next two rounds to get a unanimous-decision victory. It was a timeless Clay Guida performance and a remarkable victory for”The Carpenter” back at 155 lbs. For his next excursion, 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 believe this potential lightweight competition 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 conclusion on the judges’ scorecards after three back-and-forth rounds of entertaining action. The victory puts him three fight-winning series inside the Octagon, and he expects 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 series for the TUF: Brazil veteran. I believe this rare”winner versus loser” matchup in 155 pounds makes sense for the two fighters, and I would like to see it booked for a future fight card, rather on the primary card for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
