On kyllä jäätävän pituinen WW :D
Tom Breese on painoluokan uusi Rumble Johnson, tosin sillä poikkeuksella että on päässyt painoihin joka kerta. Mitehän lie kaasutankin laita? Noilla raameilla ei olis kyllä mitenkään pieni edes keskisarjaan. En yllättyis, jos Breese nousis jossain vaiheessa sarjaa (tai kahta) ylemmäs.

Silvalla varmasti kivoja muistoja Cage Rage ajoista, sytyttääköhän ne Hämiksen taas sillee, et päässään matrix-modeen?

Teemu Packalen (7-1) vs. Thibault Gouti (11-0) Lightweight Gouti by decision
Mike Wilkinson (9-1) vs. Makwan Amirkhani (12-2) Featherweight Amirkhani by submission
Amirkhani Is a Future Star
The UFC's featherweight division has a handful of up-and-coming stars. None of them is more exciting than Makwan Amirkhani. The 27-year-old from Kurdistan is 2-0 in the UFC with both wins coming by stoppage.
You may remember his dynamic six-second KO of Andy Ogle via flying knee back in January 2015 at UFC on Fox 14. Most recently, Amirkhani submitted Masio Fullen via rear-naked choke at UFC Fight Night 69 in June 2015.
The likable but deadly young prospect will move to 3-0 on Saturday, and another stoppage is likely.
Amirkhani faces 9-1 local product Mike "Warrior" Wilkinson in one of the more interesting bouts on the card. Wilkinson is 2-1 in the UFC, but he hasn't fought since October 2014. His power is undeniable, but the long layoff could be a factor.
Even if Wilkinson were without cage rust, defeating Amirkhani would be a tall order for him. Amirkhani's ground game is far superior to Wilkinson's, and his speed and diverse striking would seemingly best the 28-year-old's slightly above-average boxing.
Expect Amirkhani to gain momentum with another stoppage win. This one will likely come by submission in the first round.

Makwan Amirkhani vs. Mike Wilkinson
Mookie Alexander: Wilkinson has played spoiler before (vs. Niklas Backstrom) but has also been essentially a sacrificial lamb (vs. Rony Jason). He's only fought 3 times in 4 years and I just can't rely on that sort of data against a really talented fighter in Amirkhani. Mr. Finland will work him over on the ground and get another stoppage win. Makwan Amirkhani by submission, round 1.
Victor: Amirkhani isn't a guy we've seen that much of in his UFC run, and he's shown himself to be a special talent for now. His timing is great and he's got great composure during crazy scrambles. Makwan Amirkhani via submission, R2.
Phil Mackenzie: I didn't really believe in Backstrom, and I don't really believe in Amirkhani, for approximately similar reasons- primarily a grappler from a circuit which doesn't have great grappling, but gets attention because he's charismatic and because he landed a silly high-octane strike to beat a veteran. Not that both Backstrom and Amirkhani aren't very talented, but I think they both still had / have significant stylistic development to make. I'm still going to pick him- he's the better athlete, he has a better idea of what he wants to do than Backstrom did, but if he gets shucked off in the clinch a couple of times, this fight could go downhill fast. Makwan Amirkhani by submission, round 2.
Zane Simon: So many questions to be answered by both men. Wilkinson has barely stepped in the cage at all over the past few years and Amirkhani has blasted through the fighters put in his path. I think Wilkinson will hang tough and make this a good fight, but Amirkhani is too good a scrambler and to great an athlete for Wilson's very meat and potatoes style to beat. Makwan Amirkhani via decision.
Staff picking Amirkhani: Mookie, Tim Bis, Nick, Fraser, Victor, Tim, Stephie, Phil, Anton, Zane
Staff picking Wilkinson: Artem
Thibault Gouti vs. Teemu Packalen
Phil Mackenzie: Despite the short notice, I think I'm actually going to take Gouti here. Although I might be overplaying him, I still think beating Anton Kuivanen means something, particularly in a 3-round, relatively back-and-forth fight. Gouti showed he has a strong chin and cardio, and a pretty good understanding of what distance he wants to fight at to land consistent offense, and more than that the sheer physicality to back Kuivanen out of the clinch a couple of times. If he can force Packalen into that kind of fight (big if) he can box him up or potentially even get a stoppage. Thibault Gouti by unanimous decision.
Zane Simon: Gouti has a good boxing game, when his opponent isn't throwing back, but I have serious questions about his wrestling. Packalen is bigger, more well rounded, and about as experienced. I think he'll be able to put enough pressure on Gouti to stop him from throwing a lot of strikes and then use his superior takedown game to put the Frenchman on his back and grind out a win. Teemu Packalen via decision.
Staff picking Gouti: Anton, Phil

Aiemmin kun katselin ufc.comia niin brittiversiossa ei näkynyt Teemun matsia, mutta jenkkiversiossa kylläkin.

Mousasi reminds me of Robin Black, the way he's always so pumped up.
Embeddedin kommenteista :D
