UFC Vegas 55 | Prelim Preview
Saturday, May 21st (7:00 PM EST Main Card, 4:00 PM EST Prelims)
Jailton Almeida vs. Parker Porter
WATCH - Almeida looked great in his debut with a first round finish, and is still a baby in the heavyweight division at 30. Getting matched against a fighter with a 3-win streak makes this one of the best unranked heavyweight fights in a long time, which frankly isn’t saying much. But hopefully will be a better showing than the last million times a prospect heavyweight fight led to a boring decision.
Joseph Holmes vs. Alen Amedovski
BATHROOM BREAK - Two middleweights that are completely defeated in the UFC. This fight is the sign you’ve been looking for that you’re a complete gambling degenerate and should probably lay low for a while.
Omar Morales vs. Uros Medic
WATCH - Uros Medic was the dream prospect. A man who crushed every regional opponent in the first round, crushed his contender series opponent in the first round, and then crushed his debut in the first round. He looked absolutely unstoppable. Until he wasn’t, and fell hard from the heavens as he finally experienced a first round finish from the losing side. Still young, and still improving in a top gym, will this be a bounce back that propels the young prospect to the rankings, or a devastating second loss that reaffirms the UFC is truly too tough for even the toughest. One thing is for sure, that this fight in true lightweight fashion, is sure to be an absolute banger!
MMAalgo Bet - Uros Medic 3.5u @ +120 (better than -114.3)
Jonathan Martinez vs. Vince Morales
WATCH - Fun bantamweight journeymen on a win streak. In most other divisions this fight would be an easy pass, but in this quick paced and action packed division any fighters on a win streak become must watch. And even though the stakes aren’t as high as a championship belt, this is likely still the peak for whatever journeyman is lucky enough to win this fight and stretch his win-streak to 3 which is a genuine accomplishment.
FGTDalgo Bet - Fight Goes The Distance 1u @ -195 (better than -243.5)
Chase Hooper vs. Felipe Colares
WATCH - HE’S BACK! The one and only! Imanari roll to victory or his demise, the 22 year old Chase Hooper doesn’t look like a fighter, but one day his fundamental MMA skills will elevate him to at least the journeyman level.
MMAalgo Bet - Chase Hooper 3.5u @ +155 (better than -194.0)
FGTDalgo Bet - Fight Goes The Distance 1u @ -135 (better than -147.4)
Elise Reed vs. Sam Hughes
BATHROOM BREAK - One more fight and I’d probably fake illiteracy to get out of writing more about another terrible fight night.
