We had a very fun and entertaining breakdown with Stephane Cappellini of the UFC Fight Night Edgar vs Munhoz.
Stephane always has great takes and insight into the UFC cards. This was a shortened fight card with only 9 fights but featured the biggest upset in UFC history according to the oddsmakers plus a lot of great action. The main event lived up to its billing as the Bantamweight debut of future hall of famer Frankie "The Answer " Edgar who won a split decision over # 5 ranked Bantamweight Pedro Munhoz. Pedro had a good game plan early as he employed relentless calf kicks and very hard punches. Edgar eventually just landed many more punches in bunches as his combos were non stop. Edgar the former lightweight champ was now into his third different weight class and still has the great footwork. There are really a select few that have won in three different UFC weight classes like Conor McGregor, Anthony Pettis, Vitor Belfort, Diego Sanchez Kenny Florian and a few others. This fight received fight of the night and the UFC handed 50K to each of the fightters on top of their purse.
We broke down almost every fight on the card higlighted by Shana Dobson beating highly touted Mariya Agipova and when her hand was raised it culminated in the biggest upset in UFC history. Agipova had a spectacular performance against Hannah Cifers on June 13th winning by submission and raising her record to 9-1. Shana Dobson came into this fight with a losing 3-4 record but turned the tables on Agipova in the second round and was given a TKO victory at 1:38. Dobson changed her life with a 50K bonus cheque and a UFC contract.
The fight between Daniel Rogriguez and Dwight Grant ended up being one of the rounds of the year candidates. "The Body Snatcher" Grant had "D- Rod" in all sorts of trouble early and the referee almost stopped this fight on a few occasions. Rodriguez rebounded and KO grant in amazing fashion at 2:24 of the first round. Go and watch that fight online you will be glad that you did. It reminded us of the Pat Barry vs Cheick Kongo incredible comeback victory from years ago.
The other highlighted fight was another incredible comeback scrap as Trevin Jones got a unlikely knockout of Timur Valiev the fighter from Dagestan. Jones heard about the fight with three days notice and came in for his debut. Valiev dominated the first round and it looked badly one sided. In the second round Jones hit him with a devastating check left hook and knocked him down he quickly jumped on him and pounded him until the ref pulled him off. Jones was the other 50 K bonus winner and said look out when he has a proper and full camp.
This was a fun card and breakdown.
Enjoy
Take care
Love yah
Bye for now
