UFC 130: Renan “Barao” vs. Cole Escovedo

The Matchup: Escovedo’s debut in the UFC is a feel good story, specifically for fans of the West Coast scene that have followed his career. After a staph infection put his career on hold for approximately three years, he returned in 2009.

Barao is a product of the prosperous Brazilian MMA scene, where prospects with eye-popping records are more common than somewhere else in the world. With a 25-1 ledger and a 2-0 record in the WEC, he is fairly talented and experienced -- a great mixture when you are just 24.

With solid fierce and an experienced submission game, Barao’s threatening to beat if you are not an elite takedown artist with a scorching top game, and Escovedo is not. Instead, Escovedo will have to trade on the feet to Barao’s fancy and may have worry verbalizing where the bout takes place. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: Watch for Barao to mix attacks to moderate up Escovedo before closing hard for a stoppage victory in the second or third round.

UFC 130: Chris Cariaso vs. Michael McDonald

The Matchup: A slam-bang fight of bantamweight prospects expects here. Cariaso and McDonald could very well put up a “Fight of the Night” candidate in a fast-paced bout with sufficiently of momentum strikes and thrilling moments.

McDonald considered great in his last match, a judgment over Edwin Figueroa at UFC Fight Night 24, and grasps a 2-0 mark under the Zuffa LLC banner. Like McDonald, Cariaso won his publicity debut, with a decision above Will Campuzano, and was 1-1 in two WEC appearances. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

McDonald’s superior hands should show the difference here, although a small one that Cariaso may be capable to overcome with wrestling. A faster pace favors McDonald, and if he is clever to be aggressive and strength his kind of fight, along with strong exchanges, he can win it.

The Pick: McDonald by third-round stoppage.

UFC 130: Gleison Tibau vs. Rafaello Oliveira

The Matchup: A bodily imposing 155-pounder, Tibau is approximately as large a lightweight as there is at fight time. Using enhanced striking and an overpowering style, he likes to drudge down opponents.

Oliveira returns on short sign, in place of International Fight League veteran and WEC import Bart Palaszewski. Released by the UFC in March 2010 following a verdict defeat to Andre Winner, the 29-year-old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt has flustered off four straight wins since.

If there is a difference here, it is Tibau’s size and wrestling. The American Top Team representative has revealed a gift for heaping up points and mixing in takedowns to win rounds in current trips, so this is attractive much his fight to lose. He should score on the feet, using jabs and dirty boxing in close, and then switch gears by striking takedowns, camping on top and scoring more. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: Tibau is the greater fighter on paper and has more ways over which to attain victory. He takes a choice.

UFC 130: Kendall Grove vs. Tim Boetsch

The Matchup: Boetsch drops to 185 pounds to takes on Grove, a chief in the division. In a fixed crossroads bout for both, Boetsch’s wrestling and hostility match up against Grove’s height and submissions skill. Both are recognized for thrilling bouts, so do not go to the fridge for this one.

Boetsch, 3-3 in the UFC at 205 pounds, should interpret well at middleweight, particularly in a debut bout against Grove, who is not a power-wrestler type.

Meanwhile Randy Couture kicked off the trend in 2003 by going down in weight, it has become the predictable move when a fighter gets varied results and needs to jumpstart his career. Boetsch, who often seemed a tad measly and fleshy, compared to fellow 205-pounders, is the latest to make the move. Conversely, there are usually two kinds of stories here: wrestlers, who drop down a weight class, and everyone else, with the former handling it better merely because they have years of experience wounding the pounds.

Given room to function and choose when the bout will hit the mat, Boetsch should be able to close the gap on Grove and take it down. He will have to be careful working in both the clinches and in Grove’s guard; at 6-foot-6 the Hawaiian makes power and chances to attack from single angles. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: Boetsch should be able to pull out a blue-collar type of win, crushing out a close choice or late stoppage. The key issue will be getting it to the mat early; in scrambles and fast-paced trades, Grove is capable at generating opportunities and scoring in those circumstances.

UFC 130: Miguel Torres vs. Demetrious Johnson

With the Miguel Torres-Demetrious Johnson and Kendall Grove-Tim Boetsch bantamweight and middleweight bouts streaming on Facebook, the UFC 130 prelims bid a glimpse into two divisions definitely in instability, at least at the mid-tier contender level.

It must provide a convincing look at the transformation process for Torres, a former WEC champion who takes on the brilliant Johnson in what should be an thrilling match at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

Here is a closer look at the UFC 130 prelims, with a preview and picks.

Bantamweights

The Matchup: Once the dread of the WEC’s bantamweights, Torres discovers himself against “Mighty Mouse” Johnson, a intensifying star at 135 pounds. A tall, dangerous attacker with exceptional submissions, Torres’ sole conspicuous weakness may be overshadowing wrestler-types with fast hands, which is exactly the style Johnson demonstrates. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

It must have determined a pale into the heart of every fan of the old-school Japanese scene when “Mighty Mouse” conquered Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto in the latter’s UFC debut in February. Using lightning-quick takedowns and great wrestling chops, Johnson revealed he was a serious trickle for the bantamweights in his stellar win at UFC 126. Toss in wins over Damacio Page and Nick Pace and a hard-fought judgment loss to Brad Pickett prior to that, and we have a genuine contender.

Torres is no easy task, for sure. The 5-foot-9 former champion has a boatload of experience, sports a 39-3 record and is a master at result angles and ranges that work, using these to command how a fight goes. Johnson’s job is to close the break and hit takedowns while prominent a balance between keeping busy on the ground and not giving Torres an initial for a fond or sweep; guess him to push the pace, specifically when he takes down Torres and refutes his six-inch height lead.

Torres remains a brilliant fighter, and yet his successive stoppage losses to Brian Bowles at WEC 42 and Joseph Benavidez at WEC 47 stimulated him to shake up his method and training camps, this is still a bad style bout for him. Fundamentally, Johnson only has to win two rounds, which means he will need three to four effective takedowns while not getting his block knocked off or lumbering into a submission.

The Pick: Appearance for Johnson to skim around on the feet a bit before exploding on Torres and rapidly taking it to the mat. Shower, rinse and repeat, and Johnson close hard to a unanimous decision.

UFC 130: Brian Stann vs. Jorge Santiago

The Matchup: Both have enhanced significantly in current bouts, with Stann’s drop to middleweight and a New Year’s Day knockout of Chris Leben pushing his career. Santiago, in the meantime, has wound off a string of exciting wins against rough overseas competition since departing the UFC in 2006 after going 1-2. Both depend on standup to make chances and openings; this is not probable to be a lay-and-pray-style bout.

Santiago may be the better-rounded kickboxer, but Stann’s game has stiffened up substantially since teaming with maestro instructor Greg Jackson. His capability to get back to his feet, if taken down, and stop Santiago from establishing and punishing him on the mat will be key; light heavyweight rivals Phil Davis and Krzysztof Soszynski broken his lack of wrestling.

Stann possibly hits firmer with his punches and, in the Leben bout, showed a fine sense of when to lay back and when to burst. Santiago has shown good conditioning in protracted battles, pleasing five-round wins in three bouts, counting two over the gifted Kazuo Misaki and a decision over Mamed Khalidov -- one of the best fighters not presently in the UFC. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: Stann’s hot right now, and a fighter in his trench is tough to beat. Though, Santiago might have a slight too much on the feet for him. He is more practiced and proven against better competition. He will do just sufficient in an intense, back-and-forth, frequently standup match to take a decision.

UFC 130: Stefan Struve vs. Travis Browne

The Matchup: Heavyweights are the red-meat present on a fight card, and this one is to be expected to be served up like a infrequent T-bone, bleeding all over the plate; not because both are not impartially gifted prospects -- they are -- but because of the absolute size. At 6-foot-7 and 250 pounds, Browne is the small guy in this one, in front of the 6-foot-11 Struve. One just faith the ref can get out of the way and does not get compressed.

Struve’s shown excellent flexibility in his UFC career. After a vicious promotional debut -- a knockout loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC 95 -- he has since united to go 4-1, and at a mere 23 years old, the Dutchman has a proportion of room to factually and metaphorically fill out as a fighter. Browne is a similar scheme, with a 10-0-1 record, and a solid showing in a draw in contradiction of veteran Cheick Kongo in his last bout at UFC 120.

Theoretically, Struve is the piercing fighter, while Browne’s size fuels a rather bullying style. Struve is effective at landing knocks down the middle and quiet with opponents in his guard. He will continuously be a little short on pure strength, due to his awkward frame and absence of a wrestling background. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

A lot of this bout be contingent on Browne’s training and whether or not he can burden his enemy deprived of one of the big turns-of-momentum Struve originate in recent bouts. Superficially bushwhacked against Christian Morecraft at UFC 117, Struve beat Morecraft to win via strike in the second round, and he handled Sean McCorkle at UFC 124 in spite of getting fixed against the cage in the opening moments. If Browne can bang away and keep Struve on the mat, he wins. In a blazing bout, he could get trapped and taken out.

The Pick: Flip a coin and call it. Brown will win by close, competitive choice in a bout with thrilling momentum strikes.

UFC 130: Rick Story vs. Thiago Alves

The Matchup: In a welterweight division basically unproductive of viable challengers for champion Georges St. Pierre, Story and Alves have the chance to change that. Hard-charging Story matches up in contradiction of talented striker Alves, whose physical gifts and skill to land bombs from any situation make him a must-watch charm.

Story’s duty is simple: contradict Alves’ solid takedown defense and take away his variety and viewpoints. Alves is great at hitting hovering knees and striking in different combinations, as he mixes in blows and kicks with remarkable accuracy and seamlessness. Story, an hostile southpaw with a collegiate wrestling thoroughbred, is not frightened to trade and has good conditioning and a stout chin, but the fouler this gets, the better his probabilities are.

The big wild card with Alves is the weight cut and what kind of cardio he will have after plummeting down to the 170-pound limit. The adjustment for being on the exciting end of this kind of dehydration is that Alves enters the cage around 190 pounds, normally with a huge size and strength advantage.

Story must tear a page from Jon Fitch’s book, using pressure, takedowns and continuous effort in grappling attacks to ditch Alves. On the feet, Alves should be undoubtedly superior, but Story is game sufficient to force trades, opening up clinches and takedowns he can ply to his advantage. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: This should be an extremely questioned match, with no true neutral combat range. Alves has a big advantage on the feet, Story in the clinches and on the mat. On the other hand, Story’s durability and hard-charging pace would be just sufficient to put Alves in a defensive posture, and if Story gets tacked, he is not going to crinkle. Instead, he will come right back at Alves. He will probably have to take some thoughtful shots to close the gap, but he is going to be all over Alves and wear him down en way to a precise decision win.

UFC 130: Frank Mir vs. Roy Nelson

The Matchup: However heavyweights are identified more for big-time punching supremacy and splendid knockouts, Mir and Nelson fall into the experienced category. Nelson has remained on the shelf since his unfair decision loss to Junior dos Santos at UFC 117, where he displayed a chin worthy of Mount Rushmore. Mir is 3-2 since he acquiesced Brock Lesnar in February 2008, as he has shown hints of an better standup game inserted between fierce knockout losses to Lesnar and Shane Carwin.

In a heavyweight match, the better warrior has the clear edge, principally when he is the tougher hitter with more established cardio. That is Nelson, in circumstance you have not read between the lines. Do not be misled by the belly -- “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 10 leader can dunk a basketball, and he is brilliant on the mat. Mir’s knockout wins over faded stars like Mirko “Cro Cop” Filipovic and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira were excellent showings but must be placed in outlook.

This is Nelson’s fight to lose. He must be able to retain it at least even on the feet and will be sturdier in the clinch. Mir’s proposal game and guard could pose difficulties early, as he is great at abusing small openings. That said, Nelson will perhaps look to wear depressed Mir on the feet and in the clinch. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

The Pick: Look for Nelson to pick his spots, predominantly in associations, where Mir has shown a propensity to rest. Nelson will not let him, and he will pace on the gas pedal, exhausting down Mir for a third-round strike.

UFC 130: Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Matt Hamill

UFC 130 Previews: The Main Card

Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt Hamill now include the main event at UFC 130 on Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, and the defeat of Frankie Edgar-Gray Maynard 3 due to injuries hits fans tough.

Though this appears possible to affect the pay-per-view purchase rate, the risks stay the same for the card’s further included matches. Jackson and Hamill fight for a key spot in the light heavyweight competitor ranks, although Rick Story and Thiago Alves do the similar for a welterweight slot. A key match-up between Brian Stann and Jorge Santiago at 185 pounds and a heavyweight incline pairing Stefan Struve with Travis Browne round out the squad.

Here is the breakdown of the UFC 130 “Jackson vs. Hamill” main card.

Light Heavyweights
Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Matt Hamill

The Match-up: A couple of tough light heavyweights collide in the main event, with recognized expert Jackson taking on Hamill, whose victory over Tito Ortiz at UFC 121 was possibly the largest of his career.

Jackson is particularly threatening against foes that do not depend on clever game plans to exploit his flaws. Like Rashad Evans at UFC 114, Hamill will have to pick high-percentage spots to shoot for take downs and boundary heavy exchanges on the feet. If there is any evident crack in Rampage’s armor, it is his propensity to want to cartridge when he could merely subdue enemies to the mat and control them there. Watch UFC 130 Live Stream now.

Meanwhile his days as a fright in Pride Fighting Championships, where he crashed enemies with terrifying ease, he has mostly been a stand-and-bang type of fighter -- approximately that cost him against cerebral-minded rivals like Evans, and his title loss to Forrest Griffin at UFC 86.

Hamill has his work cut out for him here, and Jackson should be superior standing. Rampage’s chin is top-notch, and he covers up and passions back extremely well from inside the pocket. Hamill’s struggling is solid, but his intense mostly helps as a means for that fighting to come into the equivalence. Jackson’s take down protection and experience should show enough to disprove Hamill’s take downs.

Though, in a three-round match, you only have to win two of them to take a decision -- approximately Evans did with a great game plan. Rampage offered more persistence in his split decision win over Lyoto Machida at UFC 123 and remains an undervalued technical striker; his personality and huge bombs overshadow the understated skills he has on the feet. If Rampage is to win, he cannot get drank into a headhunting match. In its place, he must be satisfied to pile up points and force Hamill’s hand.

The Pick: This is a modest match that could very well swipe on who gets a serious take down or telling knock-back at the end of a round. Jackson will get this by close decision.
