JUNIOR DOS SANTOS VS MARK HUNT

When former UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and former K-1 champion Mark Hunt meet in a battle between two of the three best strikers in the division, the biggest question comes down to strategy.  Will dos Santos, a black belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, take the fight to the ground where Hunt has shown weakness for submissions?  Or will dos Santos test Hunt's impermeable chin while resisting the lure of a straightforward brawl that favors brick-fisted Hunt over most any man on the planet.  Even if dos Santos tries to take the fight to the ground- a rare sight for him- he must get past Hunt's UFC-best takedown defense.


GLOVER TEIXEIRA VS JAMES TE HUNA

At light heavyweight, Glover Teixeira might be Junior dos Santos's doppleganger, possessing top-notch striking, heavy hands and a solid chin.  James Te Huna, a big, well-rounded fighter with ten KO's or TKO's on his resume, has been hurt in the past by lesser strikers but he may find the ground even more dangerous if he chooses to grapple with the Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu black belt.  Teixeira, currently riding an 18-fight winning streak, holds the advantage at just about every facet of the fight so Te Huna may need to take some chances to walk away with a victory.

UFC 160: Five Friday Questions

1.  CAN SILVA AVOID THE GROUND? In their last meeting, Bigfoot Silva threw a low kick, Cain Velasquez quickly caught the kick, took Silva to the ground and dominated him from there.  Since that time, Silva admitted he made a mistake in his approach with Cain, but does that mean he won't throw kicks?  Is he practicing his takedown defense?  Cain is not only the fastest heavyweight but also the best wrestler, Cormier notwithstanding.  On his feet, Cain has been wobbled and his only loss came when Junior Dos Santos caught him in a stand-up exchange.  Silva might also hope to gas him out like he did with Alistair Overeem before he put him away, but Cain also possesses the best cardio in the division.  Still, anything is better than fighting Cain on the ground. 2.  WILL JUNIOR DOS SANTOS TAKE THE FIGHT TO THE GROUND? Dos Santos can outbox pretty much anyone in his division but any fighter who tries to stand with Hunt may land a few successfully, ...

UFC 159: Jones vs. Sonnen

Why bother, it seems, with Jon "Bones" Jones holding an edge over Chael Sonnen in every conceivable area the fight could rumble through. Striking?  Only Lyoto Machida, master of accuracy and speed, has come close to outstriking him and that was in the first round. Submissions?  Jones has submitted the last two BJJ black belts he's faced. Physicals?  Jones has the longest reach in any division and is the second tallest light heavyweight. Wrestling?  That just so happens to be Chael's biggest strength.  And Jones's. So what happens when Chael tries to pressure Jones with takedowns?  He'll need to threaten Jones with his own strikes to open up an opportunity for a takedown, but if he dares tread there he'll face Jones's UFC-best reach, elbows, oblique kicks and side kicks.  Clinch and you enter the elbow zone.  Kick and you find yourself on your back and again in the dreaded elbow zone.  A Sonnen victory would be a bigger upset than Ma...

UFC 160: Velasquez vs. Silva 2

Heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez walked through Antonio Silva like a paper finish line when they first fought one year ago.  Velasquez took Silva down early in the fight and finished him on the ground,  taking almost zero damage.  Coming into this fight we can only wonder if anything will change. Since their last meeting, Silva plastered both Travis Browne and heavily-favored former K-1 champ Alistair Overeem on their feet.  Neither of them threatened to take him to the ground, whereas the heavyweight champion wields the best MMA wrestling in his division and drags everyone down into his domain.  In reclaiming his throne, the constant threat of takedowns and actual attempts rattled former champion and boxing wunderkind Junior Dos Santos to the point it was Velasquez who landed the most significant strikes.  Silva must defend those takedowns or try to catch him much in the way Junior Dos Santos did in handing Velasquez his first loss. While Silva's...
