Fight Night ~ Austin​

4/1.98 WELLINGTON TURMAN -202
3/1.96 GOODEN vs TURMAN o2½ -153

[0-2 -7u0

• 2/1.18 POTIERIA VS BELLATO ENDS BY KO/TKO -170
• 2/1.11 POTIERIA vs BELLATO u1½ -181
• 3/2.33 Drakkar Klose -129
• 1.54/5 Drakkar Klose by KO/TKO or DQ +325
• 4/1.74 Zachary Reese -230

• The Bellato / Potieria bout seems kind of strange with the "Trator" laying a huge number is his first UFC fight. Both of these guys like to bring it and I expect they mix it up early and often, somebody will get finished, likely 1st or 2nd round.
• Next up, I like Klose a lot, but he is coming off knee surgery at 35 for an ACL tear, so who knows how strong he pushes? Solecki has been on a nice run and you can bet he will test that knee with numerous takedown shots. Klose is the more polished striker however and I believe Klose will hurt him on one of his entries and end up with a signature comeback finish.
• Reese is undefeated but this will be his toughest test to date. Reese has finished all 6 of his fights including his last with an armbar sub win in DWCS. He's a huge 6'3" MW and will probably use his size/length/striking and walk Cody down.

3/1.96 GOODEN vs TURMAN o2½ -153
2/1.18 POTIERIA VS BELLATO ENDS BY KO/TKO -170
2/1.11 POTIERIA vs BELLATO u1½ -181

4/1.74 Zachary Reese -230

[3-3 -0.49u]

• 4/3.05 JULIA AVILA -131
• 3/1.29 TATE vs AVILA o2½ -232

• I love Meisha but unfortunately "Cupcake" has seen better days. I think Avila can keep it standing and use an aggressive striking attack that should easily carry the cards. If Miesha can get a takedown she may be able to ground out some control time. I doubt either fighter gets a finish tonight.

Not your typical KO, but I'll take it. :rofl:

Main Card​

• 5/1.48 PUNAHELE SORIANO -338
• 3/2.34 PUNAHELE SORIANO INSIDE DISTANCE -128
• 3/2.48 SEAN BRADY -121
• 3/2.44 ROB FONT -123

• Once again the odds are a bit crazy for Soriano at -350. I could imagine Stoltzfus getting a takedown and locking up a sub-win, but I'll back "Story Time" to get the win and finish. He has excellent hands with power and although he's lost 3 of the last 4, they were tough opponents, he went the distance with Brendan Allen and probably got a bad decision loss to Maximov, still he has looked good and gained lots of experience.
• Pass on the Carpenter
• Gasteleum is 2-5 in his last 7 but has fought the best of the division while Brady suffered his first loss a little over a year ago getting dominated by Belal. I think maybe Brady gets back on track, but he likely needs to mix in some grappling or he'll likely get outstruck by Kevin.
• Tough matchup for Figgy as he moved up to 135. Font has been around a long time a long time and has only lost to the elite of the division. We will see where Figgy slots in.

Congrats Cupcake
