Oleynik is a legitimate foe, but he's also manageable for someone coming off a long run of inactivity. Result: defeated James Vick via unanimous decision. Next: winner of Edson Barboza vs.
Justin Gaethje on March Great callout on Felder's part. It's a bummer Felder won't be able to fight on that March 30 card in Philadelphia his hometown , but having him in attendance with the understanding he'll fight the winner is the next-best thing. Of course, this depends on his recovery time from the collapsed lung he suffered in Sunday's fight.
Felder fought Barboza once before, in , and it was glorious. Barboza won a very tense unanimous decision. I would certainly watch a rematch -- not to mention a Felder-Gaethje bout, if Gaethje is victorious on March The lightweight division is chaos, as usual, and there are plenty of names at the top that need to be sorted out.
In the meantime, a fight between Felder and the March 30 winner would continue to help establish a pecking order. And it would be a darn good time. Result: defeated Alex Caceres via first-round submission. Next: Darren Elkins. It's perfect. Gracie says he's ready for a top guy, but I don't know if matchmaking needs to be that aggressive.
Elkins is a guy who has been in the top 10 but has fallen out after back-to-back losses to Alexander Volkanovski and Ricardo Lamas. He'd be a real test for someone like Gracie -- a good blend of experience and defensive grappling. Booking a fight against him also wouldn't be rushing Gracie too fast, too soon.
Gracie wants to be back as soon as possible, and Elkins currently has nothing on the books. Sign me up. And in California no less. Yeah, he may not have been the same guy who won the PRIDE heavyweight title, but he was still Minotauro and still dangerous. So Velasquez did what you do the moment you see an opening against a dangerous opponent — you get him out of there.
In the Acer Arena that afternoon in Sydney, you could hear the left hook that sent Nogueira down and out. Lesnar bout had all the drama and all the question marks you want from a big time heavyweight championship bout, and while Lesnar provided the drama with an all-out assault on his challenger at the opening bell, Velasquez delivered the answers to all questions about being too small to beat a giant like Lesnar, as he knocked the big man out in the seconds round to become the UFC heavyweight champion of the world.
Royce Gracie. The running back's son's advice was spot on following Peterson's first game with Titans. It's that scoreline again. Home Wrestling. SI Recommends. Report: Rodgers Set to Start Sunday vs. Seahawks By Andrew Gastelum. Bean scores 30 to lift Utah St. By Andrew Gastelum.
