UFC Fight Night 12 Open Post

A bit of a new idea here at MMA on Tap…

Instead of a live blog this evening, (the event is on Spike for everyone to see for free) we decided to try and see how an open discussion type of post would work out. So feel free to leave comments and thoughts throughout the evening while you are watching the event. David and I will be in and out to chat with everyone as well.

As always we will have a complete breakdown of the event including post-fight notes and analysis on all of the fights later tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Main Card:

Mike Swick vs. Josh Burkman
Patrick Cote vs. Drew McFedries
Nate Diaz vs. Alvin Robinson
Thiago Tavares vs. Michihiro Omigawa

Preliminary Bouts:

Kurt Pellegrino vs. Alberto Crane
Gray Maynard vs. Dennis Siver
Cole Miller vs Jeremy Stephens
Corey Hill vs. Joe Veres
Matt Wiman vs. Justin Buccholz

I’m looking forward to Cote-McFedries the most. It’s going to be a war. Both guys have said that they are going to stand and bang and I don’t think we should expect any different.

I’m going with Cote in this one. I think he has the better chin and the better technical stand-up to be able to pick McFedries apart while staying away from his power shots.

I just don’t know how effective McFedries is going to be coming off of an over six month layoff and a serious staph infection.

I hope Tavares fight is as exciting as his fight against Griffin was

None of the fights on the main card look like they will go the distance. If Maynard can finish his opponent in seconds again it’d be nice to see him on TV again

Recapping the night what I didn’t get from earlier:

Gray Maynard def. Dennis Siver - Unanimous Decision
Kurt Pellegrino def. Alberto Crane - TKO (Strikes)
Nate Diaz def. Alvin Robinson - Sub (Triangle)
Thiago Tavares def. Michihiro Omigawa - Unanimous Decision
Patrick Cote def. Drew McFedries - TKO (Strikes)

McFedries was waaay too confident in there. Taunted Cote by punching his own chin and then got rocked. Glad to see Cote win again.
