MMA blog: Barboza vs. Lee


from dummysports.com

Couple of big fights in the UFC this weekend! Edson Barboza and Kevin Lee face off in the main event, Frankie Edgar is fighting Cub Swanson, in a rematch for the co-main event.

Both of these fights have possible title shot contender-ship for the winners (lightweight title, and featherweight title, respectively). I see Kevin Lee being able to wrestle Barboza to the mat and grind out the victory, possible finishing the fight with a rear naked choke.

Frankie and Cub have fought before, with Frankie dominating the fight start to finish, and I see this fight going the same way. That said, Frankie was brutally knocked out only a few weeks ago, so it will be interesting to see if that will have any effect on the fight this time around.

It's going to be an exciting night of fights and I'm anxious to see who wins.

Volleyball Historic Matches: Netherlands vs Italy 1996

VOLLEYBALL AT THE 1996 OLYMPIC GAMES One of the greatest head to head matches in this sport's history. Period. The Netherlands-Italy match that took place at Atlanta City in 1996 was an incredible showcase of the highest level of the sport between the two strongest countries. https://www.gettyimages.ae/detail/news-photo/olympic-games-atlanta-usa-mens-volleyball-an-aerial-view-of-news-photo/79621306 The stakes were incredibly high- it was for Olympic Gold. It went to final 5th round with Netherlands pulling ahead with the 3-2 victory over Italy. Every set was fought to the pinnacle- with each set averaging only 5 points between each other.  Netherlands and Italy enjoyed incredible success against the other Olympic teams for Volleyball, with most games ending with only 1 set lost.  When both teams arrived in Atlanta for the Olympic Games, Italy were touted as the unanimous favourites amongst analysts. The head to head between Italy and Netherlands in other internatio

https://www.mmamania.com/2018/3/9/17100170/latest-ufc-224-fight-card-rumors-updates-nunes-vs-pennington-may-12-rio-brazil-mma UFC 224 is a couple weeks away - no fights for the next few weeks. The fight card takes place in Brazil. The UFC likes to host a big 'Brazil vs. the world' card in Brazil at least once a year. At least 1 Brazilian features in each fight on the card. Amanda Nunes defends her women's 135lbs title against Raquel Pennington. Nunes has looked like a wrecking ball in her past few fights and I see her winning this fight too. Raquel is coming off a long lay off due to injury, I expect this to play a factor in the result of this fight. In the co-main event, Kelvin Gastelum is fighting Jacare. I'm unsure who wins this one. I'm super interested to see who claims victory, as the winner of this fight will possibly be up for a title shot shortly. If Jacare doesn't show his age, I can see him wrestling and submitting the smaller Gastelum. Howev
