UFC Fight Night 128 Recap

UFC fight night 128 ended on the weekend with Kevin Lee victorious over Edson Barboza, via doctors stoppage in round 5. Kevin Lee dominated the fight, securing takedowns and vicious ground strikes throughout the fight. With this win, he's put himself back into title shot contention. If he were to fight for the title with the current champion, Khabib Nurmagomedov, the clash of wrestling styles would be interesting, and many fans have been clamouring for the match up for a while.

The fight had one moment where Barboza was able to stun Lee badly, putting him on rollerskates.

Lee was able to recover quickly, but it was definitely an exciting moment! Anything can happen in a fight.

Frankie Edgar defeated Cub Swanson, edging out all 3 rounds for a unanimous decision. He puts himself back into the title shot frame after a surprise knockout loss only a month ago.

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.

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
