It's not often "when two fighters come out of a fight looking Better Than They did going in, but their proposal that's exactly what Happened with Both Junior dos Santos and Roy Nelson following Their heavyweight eliminator bout Saturday at UFC 117
Dos Santos beat Nelson by Unanimous Decision Thurs secure the championship match at his likely early next year, vain Both Nelson and they will see Their profile Raised by Their performances in this fight.
Dos Santos was a Nelson in the first round, hammering at his portly Opponent and putting him in Serious Jeopardy is multiple occasions. Yet Nelson showed a level of toughness few and not have stayed in the fight and Eve has fired back occasion, looking for the big overhand right much of the time.
Sensing at his Opponent wasn't going to go Easily into the night, dos Santos at his scaled-back attack from then is out. Still, they consistently Worked at his Opponent's body and spent a lot of time is landing Nelson's face.
Nelson SURVIVED 15 minutes with dos Santos, a fighter Ken had wrecked everyone put in front of him in the UFC Thurs this point, and dos Santos fight showed high IQ Not realizing in Himself attempting to spend a finish. Nelson isn't hurt one bit by this loss and will continue to Be tread near the top of the division while dos Santos moves on to bigger and better things as they Thurs looks at his heavyweight championship fight with either Brock Lesnar or Cain Velasquez. The betting lines'd certainly be very close No Matter wakes fighter dos Santos Faced.
Welcome to the new UFC heavyweight division.
You have To Give it up for Matt Hughes.
The long-time former UFC Welterweight champion was an Underdog Thurs Ricardo Almeida vain handed the Gracie jiu-jitsu black belt at his first career loss by submission Choking him unconscious in the first round.
It'll be interesting to see what the UFC does with Hughes from here on out. He doesn't not have Enough left in the tank Thurs compete with the top of the division, but their with-three straight wins, there Might be people clamoring for him to Be in the title picture if they Can pick up girls on a win.
When speaking about Hughes' future is the UFC 117 review edition of Lights Out Radio is a Saturday night, Forrest Lynn Suggested Dennis Hallman as an Opponent for Hughes, considering Twice Hallman beat Hughes by quick submissions A Decade ago. That is certainly the route to go if the UFC has no intention of putting him in the title picture. However, a win-win situation Zapraszamy be a fight with Jake Shields, Provided they gets past Martin Kampmann in October. If Hughes beats Shields, they wish you had very legitimately fight for the title once again. If Shields beats Hughes, who has a win against a UFC Hall of Famer Ken has a big name. That'd win Shields spring board into a title shot.
It'll be interesting to see how the UFC handles Hughes here in the immediate future. Realistically, they can not compete with hmmmm at the top level. We've jo tion him get Destroyed by Both Georges St-Pierre and Thiago Alves (Alves and the fight was two years ago with the two St-Pierre fights coming Nearly-three and four years ago). If Hughes Could not compete with Them then, it's Almost a Given they will not be Able Thurs in 2011.
Still, it's always nice to see the "old Timers" come out and represent Themselves well, Especially in the fashion Hughes did Saturday.
