Fight Night 15 Preview by Henry
September 16, 2008 |
Josh Neer v Nate Diaz
Look for Diaz to want to take this to the ground. While Neer has showed some ground game, look for him to be completely outmatched. Neer will try to keep this on his feet and try to use his deadly hands to win. Diaz’s striking hasn’t always looked the best however it should be enough for him to last and get the takedown or pull guard.
Nate Diaz by submission Round 2.
Mac Danzig v Clay Guida
This could be the best fight of the night. I look for Clay Guida to be tough standing up but also just as tough from top. For Guida to win the fight he must use his wrestling to determine where the fight goes. Guida put up a good fight against Tyson Griffin and Roger Huerta so look for another good performance which could get him the win. For Danzig to win he will either need to win the striking which is very possible considering how well rounded he is or pull of a submission from the bottom. Whatever round it is look for this fight to be constantly moving at a rapid pass.
Clay Guida by Decision.
Ed Herman v Alan Belcher
I look to give the standup to Alan Belcher. Alan has showed some good striking in previous matches but has also pulled of some good submissions. Herman showed some good submissions in his last matches in the UFC but also has looked bad like in the Jason MacDonald fight. Herman has showed his hands in the Joe Doerksen fight so he does have the possibility of a knockout.
Alan Belcher by TKO round 2.
Houston Alexander v Eric Schafer
Another classic Houston match. Whatever happens it will happen fast. Look for Houston to come out hard this time around and not wait for his opponent. Schafer will have to work hard and fast to get the match to the ground that will be his only hope to win. Look for Houston to be extra excited and pumped in front of the hometown crowd.
Houston Alexander by TKO in Round 1.
Joe Lauzon v Kyle Bradley
Joe will get this quick and fast to the ground. Look for it to be another bad day for Bradley. Bradley better swing fast and be ready to sprawl because Lauzon will come fast and hard.
Joe Lauzon by Submission Round 1.
Alessio Sakara v Joe Vedepo
Vedepo is making his debut. Sakara has looked good recently. His move to Middleweight should help him considerably. Look for Sakara’s hands to be flying.
Alessio Sakara by TKO Round 1.
Ryan Jensen v Wilson Gouveia
This fight will be a barn burner. Both fighters have good standup and ground games. Look for Gouveia to be strong at 185. Jensen will come out pumped and ready as another Nebraska fighter. Both have good Octagon experience so nerves should not be a huge factor. Gouveia may have the edge in both standup and ground.
Wilson Gouveia by Submission Round 2.
Jason Brilz v Brad Morris
Morris looks to have a good all around game. Look for the Nebraskan Brilz to take the fight to the ground fast and hope to extend his win streak.
Jason Brilz by Decision.
Drew McFedries v Mike Massenzio
While Massenzio was highly touted coming into the IFL his show there was not great. Massenzio will probably want the fight to go to the ground considering McFedries standup. Look for McFedries to come throwing like usual and always going for the Knockout.
McFedries by TKO Round 1.
Dan Miller v Rob Kimmons
Rob Kimmons is going to find it hard to submit IFL Champ Dan Miller. Dan Miller was able to win the IFL belt by using a very tight and very good Kneebar. Look for Miller to overwhelm Kimmons with his extraordinary jujitsu.
Dan Miller by Submission Round 1.
