UFC Vegas 43 | Main Card Preview
Saturday, November 20th (6:00 PM EST Main Card, 3:00 PM EST Prelims)
Ketlen Vieira vs. Miesha Tate
WATCH - Usually we'd tell you turn off the TV and head to bed early with a fight like this. But Miesha Tate came back after 6 years in retirement and got a TKO performance of the night in July. So until she loses again, let's just keep the train rolling and collectively pretend that she'll be able to do the same again.
Michael Chiesa vs. Sean Brady
WATCH - So we heard you like welterweight wrestlers. You sick twisted individual. Look at Michael Chiesa's attempted strikes per minute. The guy wins fights by roleplaying as a blanket and probably blew his chance to get a #1 title contender fight with his last loss. Which was by submission by the way. Very embarrassing considering Chiesa's usual ground game dominance. Sean Brady on the other hand, that's a young guy who knows how to utilize striking on top of his dominant ground game. If these guy's ground games cancel each other out Usman vs Covington style then this could be a fun one!
Rani Yahya vs. Kyung Ho Kang
WATCH - And on the 8th day, God made the journeyman. And thus we have these two. Perpetual journeymen, with really solid UFC records but just couldn't string enough wins together in a row to make a real push at the top of the division and are now aging out of the young scrappy bantamweight division. They're both coming off wins but know that one more loss and their dreams of ever seeing the top 15 are probably gone. Hopefully that motivates them to put on a banger, and the grappling should be good with all the submission wins they both have.
Joanne Wood vs. Taila Santos
BATHROOM BREAK - For someone who has fought as many big names as Joanne, it is incredible that she was able to be mediocre enough to forever evade fighting for a title. As for Taila, there's nothing quite like looking at a fighter's record and reading all finishes before they entered the UFC, and then all decisions once they make it to the UFC. Make sure you finish painting your bedroom walls before this fight starts so you have something more interesting to watch than this.
Davey Grant vs. Adrian Yanez
WATCH - LET'S GO!!!!!! THEY NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!! THIS IS WHY WE WATCH THE UFC!!!!! Both of these fighters were awarded excitement bonuses for their last 3 fights! Davey Grant has the Michael Bisping thing going on. Underdog left cross KO out of nowhere. Yanez pieces guys up with heavy pace and quick hands. KO power vs insane striking pace! THIS IS A BANGER!
