The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was live from Oklahoma City, OK for the third time in promotional history Sunday (July 25, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 112: Chiesa vs. Lee. It was a good night of bits which found five of 13 bouts ending inside the space, and with actions now in our rear view, let’s look at some possible matchups featuring some of the opponents from the evening…
Dominick Reyes vs. Marcos Rogerio Lima
Reyes impressed in his promotional debut 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 its undefeated light heavyweight, who could possibly bring some new life into the razor-thin division. For his next excursion within the Octagon, I would like to see him take on TUF 2 finalist Marcos Rogerio de Lima, who’s coming off a second-round entry loss to Ovince St. Preux just a couple of weeks ago. I think that the Brazilian is a good test for Reyes his second workout, and this is a possible matchup I’d be interested in seeing reserved for a future fight card. I believe that it would be a good addition to the 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 into the win column in remarkable fashion last weekend by surviving a rough opening round against Erik Koch, only to return and dominate the next two rounds for a unanimous-decision victory. It was a classic Clay Guida performance along with a remarkable victory for”The Carpenter” back in 155 lbs. For his next excursion, I would be interested in watching him take on Guam’s Jon Tuck, who is coming off a first-round rear-naked choke submission win over Takanori Gomi. I believe this possible lightweight contest would be a solid addition to the card for October’s UFC 216 in Las 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 success puts him three fight-winning series inside the Octagon, and he expects to make it four straight against ranked opposition his second time out. Input: Francisco Trinaldo. “Masaranduba” is coming off a second-round rear-naked choke submission loss to Kevin Lee, which snapped an impressive seven-fight winning streak to the TUF: Brazil veteran. I believe this uncommon”winner versus failure” matchup at 155 lbs makes sense for both fighters, and I would like to see it booked for a long struggle card, preferably on the main card for October’s UFC Fight Night in Brazil.
