UFC® Fight Night™ Lauzon vs Stephens
the first fight of the night is 27 year old brooklyn native steve bruno. now fighting out of coconut creek florida, steve has a
13-4-0 record. with striking as his primary strength, he faces 23 year old TUF contestant matthew riddle. with a 1-0-0 record,
riddle is primarily a wrestler with good striking ability and possesses a purple belt in bjj. this fight i believe will be a standup
fight with bruno as the better striker. riddle should at some point revert to wrestling midway through. i see this as a 2nd round
ko for bruno.
another fight to focus on is kurt pellegrino vs rob emerson. point pleasant nj born pellegrino brings to the table an 18-4-0
record with strengths in body slam style wrestling as well as some pretty darn good jiu jitsu. irvine californias own rob
emerson comes out of tuf with a strong showing. emerson, for his size, shows great strength and takedown defense with a
good kickboxing offense to boot. i see this fight going to a unanimous decision with kurt "batman" pellegrino as the victor.
another fight of note would be luigi fiorivanti vs anthony "rumble" johnson. fiorivanti has shown good striking ability and great
takedown defense. with a 13-4-0 record, he has notable victories over dave menne, luke cummo and brody farber. at 6-2-0,
johnsons last few fights have been nothing less than stellar. as an explosive striker, i see johnson winning by tko in the 2nd
round.
next we have tuf winner mac danzig vs josh "the dentist" neer. danzig, with 19-5-1 under his belt, has a sharp mind and
maintains his composure in the octagon. as an experienced fighter, he'll have his hands full facing josh neer. neer is a well
rounded mma fighter with a 27-4-1 record. he has some impressive ko victories under his belt as well as victories over
melvin guillard and joe stevenson. the dentist should have this fight won late in the 2nd round with a tko.
in the main event, massachussetts native joe lauzon brings it with a 16-4-0 record. as a submission specialist, he has faced
the best in his weight class and has a notable ko victory over jens pulver. corn fed iowa fighter jeremy stephens has a
16-3-0 record. he is an exciting fighter to watch as he not only throws some heavy hands, but shows tremendous heart, and
never gives up. this fight should go back and forth in points over both fighters with lauzon edging stephens out for a split
decision.
