Ultimate Fight Night 17

 

Nick Catone vs Amir Sadollah

Josh Neer vs Mac Danzig

Hermes Franca vs Joe Lauzon

 

There's conflicting reports that Nate Diaz vs Marcus Aurelio is going down here but I'm not so sure. Even though Aurelio was, at one point a world-ranked fighter but the dude is 2-3 in the UFC and has lost 2 in a row whereas Diaz is undefeated in the octagon. Feels like a step down even though it's really not.

According to Facebook, Joe Lauzon vs. Hermes Franca in Feb. at Fight Night 17. Anyone confirm that? If so, I hope J-Lau beats his ass in.

 

Doubt that Lauzon will win... Hermes at this stage in the game will be too much for Lauzon.

 

I hope Lauzon wins though, I'm a big fan of his.

I fail to see how Lauzon can beat Hermes. By being uber aggressive against a fighter's who's extremely tough to finish and has a knack for finding openings while on the defensive? It's especially unlikely considering Lauzon himself has only once ever gone the distance, in an exhibition fight to a less talented midget than Franca (v. Gamburyan)?

Yeah pretty much thats how I see it.

 

Franca's Jiu Jitzu is worlds beyond anything Lauzon can bring to the table on the ground. I see Franca ripping off Lauzon's arm off on the ground.

 

Standing up I see Franca KOing Lauzon. Lauzon might be able to outstrike Franca for a bit, but eventually Franca will catch Lauzon.

I don't know why anyone would want to see Franca get his ass beat. The guy is super nice and charismatic and just very likable. More importantly, he's exciting to watch. He'll never be world champion or anything, but I am always interested to watch him fight.

 

His last fight was boring as fuck.

Cain Velasquez vs TBA

 

Add Gleison Tibau Vs. Rich Clementi

If Rosholt can't beat Sakara then he loses his blue chip prospect card. Immediately.

 

With that said... Sakara isn't exactly the best opponent for a "zombie-fu" walk straight ahead without covering up fighter so Rosholt better have putten that Osterneck gameplan far behind him.

Glad to see Grice back, even though he lost against Etim he looked good and him vs Jason Black was a grossly overlooked FOTYC in 2007.
