Big Welterweight tilt tonight on the first UFC card on Fuel. Ellenberger and Sanchez are pretty entertaining fighters, so this should be a good one. Both have good striking and great wrestling skills. Diego probably has the better ground skills, so he should look to take this one down and work for a submission, because I believe Ellenberger will beat him on the feet. I really do think this should be a decent fight and will put the winner 1 or 2 wins away from a title shot.
Struve vs. Herman is guaranteed to be a fun fight. This is essentially a freak show fight. Struve is never in a boring fight, and Herman is a solid prospect out of my home town, though he prides himself as a wrestler his wrestling is shit, always has been. Struve is good from all areas but as long as he doesn't get KO'd by PeeWee's power he should be able to pick up some sort of a submission win. This one could go either way, but I am leaning towards Struve.
Simpson is being put in front of Markes as a stepping stone, though I don't know if it will work out that way. Simpson is a very good wrestler and wins fights. Markes has his work cut out for him. Simpson by decision.
I don't know much about the rest of the main card but any guy named Stipe Miocic has my support. Hopefully the rest of the main card is just entertaining.
And the undercard will feature Jonathan Brookins trying to rebound against Vagner Rocha, which will be no easy task. I always enjoy Brookins, he's just a cool guy, but I think Rocha will walk away with the win.
As always absolutely NO ASKING FOR STREAMS. I know Fuel isn't a channel that everyone has, but at least be smart and not ask for one in the open.
