“Look Real Close And You’ll See A Gem” The UFC in Fresno

Joey

December 3rd

Quite tired but here's what we're gonna do folks. Let's look at this card and discuss some cards and funsies, eh?

Fights: 13

Debuts: 4 (Markus Perez, Alex Perez, Benito Lopez, Merab Dvalishvilli)

Fight Changes/Injury Cancellations: 2 (Rani Yahya OUT, Marlon Moraes IN vs Aljamain Sterling/John Phillips OUT, Markus Perez IN vs Eryk Anders/Bryan Caraway OUT, Andre Soukhamthath IN vs Luke Sanders)

Headliners (fighters who have either main evented or co-main evented shows in the UFC):  4 (Cub Swanson, Albert Morales, Alexis Davis and Liz Carmouche)

Fighters On Losing Streaks in the UFC:  2 (Frankie Saenz, Andre Soukhamthath)

Fighters On Winning Streaks in the UFC:  5 (Cub Swanson, Brian Ortega, Aljamain Sterling, Alejandro Perez, Liz Carmouche)

Stat Monitor for 2017:

Debuting Fighters (Current number: 42-36)- Markus Perez, Alex Perez, Benito Lopez, Merab Dvalishvilli

Short Notice Fighters (Current number: 23-36-1)- Andre Soukhamthat, Marlon Moraes

Second Fight (Current number: 29-38)- Trevin Giles, Davi Ramos, Carls John de Tomas, Eryk Anders

Cage Corrosion (18-13-1)- Antonio Braga Neto, Liz Carmouche

Twelve Precarious Ponderings

1-  I've mentioned this before but this card is a total WEC card. A lot of "no name" talent that's  really good fighters all who have a propensity for exciting fights (minus Aljamain Sterling really and even he can finish) across weight classes that fans don't always care about. Throw in some exciting middleweight prospects going at it and you've got a pretty decent under the radar "there's gonna be action"  fight card. You just got a loaded PPV and there's a loaded Fox card next week so accept your no name action fight show and move on quietly.  

2- The situation of Cub Swanson is of much interest to me. Swanson's a fighter who has been in the ZUFFA fold seemingly forever (at least since I first started watching WEC events) but now there appears to be a potential split brewing. Cub, in many ways, is blocked from reaching the upper echelons of 145 lbs since just about every 145er of note has beaten him but he's still ultra entertaining, very talented, a top 5 featherweight in my eyes and there's nothing wrong with losses to Aldo, Lamas, Holloway and Edgar. So what do you do with a guy who is blocked by the elites of the division, wanting more money and chirping about thingss you'd prefer he didn't chirp about? I'm not really sure. Cub Swanson's still a valuable headliner for free TV in my estimation and it's a real shame and a bummer that we never got the fight with McGregor which would've been a lot of fun. Unfortunately for Cub, it looks like that opportunity may have passed him by and  his UFC future may be ending in Fresno.

3- Brian Ortega is....weird. As a fighter I mean. He's 26 years old and sometimes he fights like a guy who is still figuring things out. I've mentioned this before but sometimes learning what NOT to do is as important as doing the things you're expected to do. Ortega's first round is a weird mixture of trying to figure out what he can get away with it and then he spends most of the second round working to implement that. Against Clay Guida for instance, Ortega spent the whole second round trying to find a way to hit the knees which eventually ended the fight in the third round with like a minute left. He's young, flashy and versatile. While Cub Swanson is the best fighter he's ever going to face, we are talking about a guy who has faced off with Clay Guida and Thiago Tavares so he's not going to be overwhelmed by Cub's veteran savvy. His UFC career is a collection of late finishes that he spends long bits of time setting up and he's got that Robbie Lawler "I will finish you when I have to" air of inevitability about him when fights go long. He's a fourth quarter player. The one thing which stands out to me is that he fights very similarly to Jon Jones (minus the otherworldly athletic talent)----and Cub Swanson sees Jon Jones every day in the gym in theory. It'll be an interesting chess match early on.

4- So let's say Ortega wins, right? What then? Frankie Edgar is currently your #1 contender except he's also kinda sorta probably out a bit with a broken eye socket. I always assume those are six month-ish injuries so I guess you can do Edgar-Holloway in the spring. Ortega beating Cub Swanson would in theory set him up to fight Ricardo Lamas which would be great as a main card fight (similar to Holloway-Lamas) on a bigger PPV. Even that seems dicey because Josh Emmett could absolutely paste RIcardo Lamas and then you've got no obvious answer there either. Aldo should move on so you can't do that fight. Lot of great fighters but not great "names" I guess floating around 145 lbs.

5- Aljamain Sterling's UFC journey has been pretty weird. He's had 8 fights in the UFC and got off to a hot 4-0 start before he and the UFC started squabbling about his contract. He got a new deal, a renewed promotional push----and lost to Bryan Caraway. Then he lost to Rafa Assuncao. NEITHER of those losses are career enders but they were progress stoppers. Since then he's rebounded with a win over Tanquinho Mendes and a very impressive win over Renan Barao. Sterling is a guy who is clearly talented but maybe not to the liking of the UFC audiences for some reason. He still seems at times to struggle with strength and I'm still waiting for his hands to catch up with the rest of his game. Marlon Moraes is a weird challenge given that he's short notice, a vastly different style to Rani Yahya (Moraes hurts people really badly on the feet, Yahya is basically a five minute grappling whiz) and it's the highest profile fight of his career in terms of main card quality. Hopefully if Sterling wins, it's by fight stoppage so that the rest of the world can speed up alongside this moving train at 135 lbs.

6- What did Scott Holtzman and Darrell Horcher do to share a main card spot? Seriously.

7- Imagine the damage Eryk Anders would do if he had gotten into this sport a year or two earlier. Insanely powerful guy who is developing at a rapid rate and has the skills to really be a star in time. He draws short notice replacement Markus Perez who is a former RFA champion at 185 lbs.

8- Albert Morales vs Benito Lopez is a really interesting fight. Albert Morales was signed off of DWTCS and his first fight into the organization was TUF winner Alejandro Perez. That's a tough out and Morales in my honest opinion won that fight. He was rewarded off a draw with facing Thomas Almeida in Brazil which is SUCH a fucked up challenge for a dude. He had his moments but Almeida did with what he does to most outside the top 10 guys by fucking overwhelming him with offense. He took on Andre Soukhamthath next and won a close split decision before he took on Brett Johns on short notice and lost but had some moments. Morales is a tough stern task vs the 23 year old Benito Lopez out of TAM. Urijah Faber was very, very honest about Lopez, admitting that he's one of thiose guys who doesn't go 100% in the gym (or what TAM considers to be that) but who just goes out and performs. He got a big step up in Steven Peterson and he survived some tough tough situations vs a veteran to earn his UFC contract. Good tough fight for both guys.

9- Let's say Moraes beats Sterling. That means he's beaten Sterling and Moraes in a span of a month----so where's that rank among all time "consecutive great wins in a month"?

10- Luke Sanders is coming off a disappointing loss to Iuri Alcantara where he was dominant, got too cocky and eventually got finished with a kneebar by a proven veteran. I'm excited to see what he's improved at given how long it's been since we've seen him last. Sanders can be an eventual top 15 bantamweight but he needs to be a) more active and b) leave a no doubt about it type finish vs a short notice opponent in Andre Soukhamtath.

11- If I told you Liz Carmouche was one win away from being a viable #1 contender for this bantamweight title would you 1) agree, 2) disagree or 3) cry for the future of the division.

12-Merab Dvalishvili is a Matt Serra/Ray Longo prodigy out of Georgia who has a 7-2 record with two losses in his first three fights. One of them is to Ricky Bandejas who will be in the UFC eventually. He was found off of Looking For A Fight where he finished Raufeon Stots, another UFC quality talent, and in what seems to be a theme for Lookin For A Fight talent, Dana gave him a freakin' hellacious fight in Frankie Saenz. Saenz has a rather deceptive record on paper, the sort of record where an idiot who doesn't watch fights would assume he's some kind of a can. Saenz would probably be more successful at 125 lbs but he's beaten Sirwan Kakai and Iuri Alcantara with a close loss to Agusto Mendes, a back and forth war with Urijah Faber and a tough 3rd round TKO vs Eddie Wineland in a fight I felt he was winning.

Must Wins

1- Cub Swanson

I'm of the belief Swanson is gone regardless but there's a bit of a success record with guys in their last contracted fights winning big (Bader, Benson, Sterling, Overeem) so it's a bit of a lucky spot to be in. He draws a younger athletic bigger version of himself if you watched early Cub Swanson. He's not the usual prospect in that he's tasted adversity in the past and always comes back better. A win could reset Swanson's contract status or allow him to choose his own destiny. A win and he's heading to Bellator getting PAID.

2- Aljamain Sterling

Marlon Moraes is the highest ranked opponent he's ever been pitted against unless you count the cooked corpse of Renan Barao. Sterling in my opinion has title contender potential and has personality in a division that's coming into his own. He needs to beat Marlon Moraes to make a big step up the rankings.

3- Luke Sanders

Sanders is deceptively old in the bantamweight division (31) and is coming off a loss. He has the talent to be a top 10 bantamweight in a division that's getting younger and starting tor eally percolate. He's a unique talent with a tough short notice fight upcoming.

Five Must See Fights

1- Cub Swanson vs Brian Ortega

2- Marlon Moraes vs Aljamain Sterling

3- Albert Morales vs Benito Lopez

4- Markus Perez vs Eryk Anders

5- Andre Soukhamthath vs Luke Sanders

🇬🇪☀🏔🍇✌ One of the most ancient Georgian wine in the world "Khvanchkara"

Khvanchkar red wine is made from two different grape varieties: Mujuretuli and Alexandrouli

They cultivate it in the Georgian region of Racha, which is considered one of the oldest places where they began to grow grapes and make wine. Grapes are harvested manually at the peak of maturity. After carefully separating the ridges and crushing the grapes, fermentation begins in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature (23-28 ° C). To enhance the extraction of aromatic and coloring substances from the skin of the grapes, the “delistage” and “repair” technologies are used. After 5-7 days of maceration, when the desired level of residual sugar is reached, the fermentation process is stopped by cooling and filtering the wine, thereby preserving the natural sweetness and freshness

Winery "Telavi wine cellar" which was founded in 1915 is a modern high-tech enterprise in the wine industry. There is a fine line between the inviolability of old wine-making recipes and the sophisticated technology of automated equipment

Before bottling, the wine is aged in tanks at near zero temperatures. Wine-Light ruby. The taste of strawberries is accompanied by tones of dried fruits, pomegranate and caramel. At the same time, the wine has enough lively acidity to maintain a pleasant freshness and harmony of taste

Before the berries fully ripen, at least 179 days must elapse from the moment of budding. The value of the variety lies in its adaptability to the external environment, endurance to diseases and pests, high yield and quality of grapes.

Cooled to a temperature of + 4 ° C to + 6 ° C, grapes are pressed through a press and placed for fermentation in oak barrels or enameled tanks. Depending on the technology, the wine material is prepared with or without crest separation. At the end of the fermentation, the wine matures within a few months. As a rule, the wine is ready for bottling in a year, that is, after the next harvest. Maximum wine materials can withstand 2 years.

For the manufacture of table red wine, Odzhaleshi grapes are harvested with its sugar content of 22%. Next, the crushing process with the separation of the ridges. Odzhaleshi wine manufacturing technology: The pulp (cake, the remnants of fruits and berries from which juice was squeezed out) undergoes a process of incomplete fermentation. A distinctive feature in the production of Georgian semi-dry and semi-sweet wines is that the wort (surviving juice from berries and fruits) is cooled to a temperature of 0 degrees so that the yeast bacteria completely lose their activity and precipitate. After this, the wort is filtered.

The taste of Odzhaleshi wine is very pleasant, sweet, reveals a unique aromatic bouquet of ripe fruit. The taste of plum and mulberry is most clearly felt. And the aftertaste of wine remains for a long time, allowing you to feel the fleeting cherry sourness on the palate.
