FULL PREVIEW: UFC Fight for the Troops 2


Here is MMAZone's full preview of UFN 23.

MAIN CARD:
155: Evan Dunham vs Melvin Guillard
Both these men are coming off spectacular preformances at UFC 119. Evan Dunham was robbed by the judges, but that doesnt take away from his talent... 4 people have defeated Sean Sherk... BJ Penn, Frankie Edgar, Matt Hughes (In his prime) and GSP. Evan Dunham sure has an amazing future to be in with that crowd. But with that being said, he still isnt ready for Edgar or Maynard. Kenny Florian would have been a sick fight, but Kenflo is out, so enter Melvin Guillard. The young assasin is looking more dangerous since he has started training with Greg Jackson. He is coming off 3 straight wins, which should mean Dunham will get another tough test at FFTT2. Expect this fight to be a mix of grappling and standup, and they are both good at it, and I would expect a desicion. My pick is EVAN DUNHAM (SD).


265: Matt Mitrione vs Tim Hauge
Tim "7-second" Hauge makes his return to the octagon, and is somehow co-main eventing a show. Lets get the facts- Tim Hauge has lost 3 straight in the Octagon. One of thoes loses is Joey Beltran. Hauge's opponent has already beat Joey Beltran. Expect Mitrione to GnP his way to victory. It would be a massive upset if Hauge pulls it off. My pick is MATT MITRIONE (TKO- Round 1).

145: Mark Hominick vs George Roop
If Roop didnt KTFO of Jung, I wonder if he would be fighting to be the #1 contender? Or I wonder if Dana is just setting up Hominick for Aldo in Toronto. Its probably gonna be a toe to toe match, and I doubt lightning will strike twice for Roop. My Pick is MARK HOMINICK (KO- Round 2)

265: Pat Barry vs Joey Beltran
Pat Barry looks like the favorite because he has been in a co-main event on a PPV, and has fought Cro Cop, but... He has only beat Antoni Hardonk, and has LOST to Tim Hauge. Beltran has actually beat Hauge, so Im gonna go with JOEY BELTRAN (UD)

155: Cole Miller vs Matt Wiman
Cole Miller has been on a role, and Matt Wiman is starting to get on a role. Wiman won via robbery stoppage at UFC 115, and Cole Miller is coming off a win against Ross Pearson at UFN 22. Both wins were by submission, and I would be suprised if these guys wanted to trade. Theyll go to the comfort zone (the ground), and see who squeaks out a choke or joint lock. My pick is COLE MILLER (Arm-triangle choke- Round 2)
