This weekend was caulk full of MMA, offering up multiple high-profile events taking place on both Friday and Saturday. The UFC, Bellator, ONE FC and Invicta FC all held event this weekend, but so did UCMMA, CES MMA and Superior Challenge.
What a crazy week in MMA it was last week. While the weekend offered several options for the fans to choose from the week as a whole was yet another injury filled bizarre week in MMA. The UFC had two fights scrapped within 24 hours of the UFC on FX 5 taking place in Minnesota, Strikeforce lost another headliner to injury and did I mention there were a ton of fights happening as well?
Michael Johnson is one fighter not to look past in the lightweight division, giving fans what most call a new wave approach to exciting fights and finishes. The Johnson that fought on The Ultimate Fighter was a great grappler who used his wrestling and athleticism to carry him to victories and the final match of the season. Johnson, who originally had faulty striking, has grown massively in that department and it was showcased Friday night on the free UFC on FX 5 card.
While everyone wondered if Jeremy Stephens would be released from jail and fight Yves Edwards at UFC on FX 5, the rest of the fight card played out. While the drama behind the scenes unfolded the fighters inside the Octagon put on a solid card in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
Is Jeremy Stephens Fighting at UFC on FX 5 or is the fight with Yves Edwards off? This is the question everyone is wondering and depending on who you talk to the reports differ. Jeremy Stephens is scheduled to fight in the final UFC on FX 5 preliminary bout today and according to UFC President Dana White, the fight is still on.
Get settled in for an exciting MMA filled Friday night that begins with the UFC on FX 5 from Minneapolis, Minnesota. The free card begins with one fight on Facebook before the rest of the preliminary and entire main card are televised. The UFC on FX 5 main event features undefeated heavyweight Travis Browne taking on the man known as “big foot”, Antonio Silva.
Everyone loves Fridays because it’s the end of the work week but add a solid free UFC on FX 5 fight card to the mix and its darn near perfect. This will be the third weekend in a row with a UFC card and after last week’s Fuel TV card, its back to back free cards. Like last week, UFC on FX 5 will be headlined by two heavyweights trying to climb up the ladder towards Junior Dos Santos.
