    Main Card(Fox Sports 1)-2 P.M. ET

    Ben Rothwell(#4 HW) vs Junior Dos Santos(#5 HW)
    Gabriel Gonzaga vs Derrick Lewis
    Francis Ngannou vs Curtis Blaydes
    Timothy Johnson vs Marcin Tybura

    Igor Pokrajac vs Jan Blachowicz
    Maryna Moroz(#9 WSW) vs Cristina Stanciu

    Prelims(FS1)-12 ET

    Nicolas Dalby vs Zak Cummings
    Mairbek Taisumov vs Damir Hadzovic
    Ian Entwistle vs Alejandro Perez
    Filip Pejic vs Damian Stasiak

    Prelims(Fight Pass)-10:30 A.M.

    Robert Whiteford vs Lucas Martins
    Jared Cannonier vs Cyril Asker
    Bojan Velickovic vs Alessio Di Chirico


    Not a lot of big names on this card, but a lot of HW fights(all of them in bold). Ngannou, Blaydes and Tybura are probably the 3 of the top 5 HW prospects in MMA. I dont think they've had this many HW fights on a card since UFC 146 when the full PPV main card was all HW's.

    Ngannou's last fight



    Also Mairbek Taisumov is a beast(coming off 3 straight KO's) and shouldnt be fighting a newcomer.

    Rothwell has been doing very well lately. After JDS last match with Overeem he's kind of declining. I only say this because those last 2 fights with Cain really messed him up. Guy will never be the same again.

    Time for Taisumov to get a ranked opponent. He was originally supposed to fight Dariush in Boston on the Cruz/Dillashaw card but Dariush got hurt and Taisumov eventually got pulled for Visa issues. I would love to see him fight Michael Johnson or Al Iaquinta.



    Also this was a dope sweep from the 1st fight. Surprised the Italian dude didnt tap.

    JDS looked good. Picked Big Ben apart from the outside, had some real nice shots to the body, and that sparta kick at the end of the first or second round was really nice.

    Prelims were good. I posted the Cannonier and Taisumov KO's but the Perez/Entwistle fight was a good one too.

    Gonzaga needs to retire, feel like ive seen him devastatingly KO'd like 5 times now.
