Good night of fighters again. The WEC and UFC Fight Night both free I might add, are becoming better than the PPV events. I think a couple of these match ups could go either way so that equals good fights.
Carlo Prater Vs. Carlos Condit
(Carlos Condit Wins by Submission (Choke) at 3:48 in the 1st round by guillotine choke)
It has been almost four years since Condit lost to Prater via Triangle choke, but I am sure it has been burning in the mind of Condit ever since. Both of these guys have fought some of the best and done have done well. This will be a match up so even that it will be hard to figure the winner. Both of these guys like submissions so it might end up being a standup war. It seems like that always happens. Condit has calmness about him while he fights that helps him look for mistakes in his opponent. Prater is a Houston guy so I know he doesn’t make any mistakes. So I would have to go with Prater winning via Submission in the first.
Jamie Varner Vs. Rob McCullough
(Jamie Varner Wins by Knock Out at 2:54 in the 3rd round)
This will probably be my favorite fight of the night. McCullough is just a bad KO machine. Varner is a slick dude with killer instinct submission skills and a tough chin. Both of these guys finish people very fast so it will so fun to watch these two guys lock up. Varner says that he does have a lot of striking skills even though everyone is saying that this fight will be a striker vs. a wrestler. He might use this fight to prove it, but I hope he stays safe and goes where he needs to depending on the fight. I really have no idea who will win this one. I will guess on Varner getting the upset with a slick submission in the second.
Miguel Torres Vs. Chase Beebe
(Miguel Torres Wins by Submission (Choke) at 3:59 in the 1st round by guillotine choke) - More like an upside down RNC like Mir stated
Beebe is so fun to watch because he actually gets tougher and more energized as the match goes on. He has fought some tough BJJ guys like Yahya and been able to get out of every submission hold. That knee bar especially was so sick, but Beebe was able to tough it out like the crazy guy he is. Torres has a great ground game getting a lot of people with submissions. The only submission that he needs to focus on are ones that will make Beebe pass out. Any pain ones and Beebe will probably power out of it like he did that knee bar. I think Beebe will wear him out and catch one of Torres’s long arms. Beebe is so tough so I am going to have to go with Beebe via arm bar in the third.
