The heavyweight division got a bit of a jolt Wednesday night as Stipe Miocic and Stefan Struve walked away with impressive victories at UFC on Fuel TV: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger. As part of the night’s main card the two fighters walked away with early knockouts, Miocic earning Knockout of the night honors.
The UFC made its main card debut on Fuel TV tonight with a main event between Diego Sanchez vs. Jake Ellenberger. The UFC on Fuel TV main card featured six bouts and got started out with a bang as Ivan Menjivar and John Albert put on an exciting 3:45 of action. The rest of the card, including the welterweight main event didn’t disappoint either.
We’re less than two hours away from the start of tonight’s UFC on Fuel TV card which will open up with the preliminary card streaming live on Facebook. The main card will start at 5pm PT / 8pm ET and features several interesting matchups. If you missed yesterday weigh-ins or you just want to see what we mean by interesting, check out the stare downs between the main card fighters.
Having already made their main card debuts on FOX and FX, the UFC will complete the trifecta this Wednesday with the UFC on Fuel TV: Sanchez vs. Ellenberger. The channel has already hosted preliminary action as well as numerous other UFC programming but they get the spotlight this time around. The night action on Fuel will be headlined by a welterweight bout between Jake Ellenberger and Diego Sanchez, along with four other bouts.
Another weekend, another event! This time the UFC will debut a full card on Fuel TV, and while the fight quality isn’t as high as some events, it’s still free. Below we have some fights that I think we can turn a buck on, complete with comparison betting odds, valid props and my general confidence in the fight itself. You’ll notice several fights missing from the list, which is no error. With fights between newcomers, anything can happen, and I’d recommend avoiding wagers on the fights I haven’t listed.
The UFC 138 undercard kicked off early on Facebook and then continued on with the main card, live in the UK and Canada. Those of us in the US will have to wait to watch in on Spike TV on the ever popular tape delay.
It’s fight week again which can only mean one thing, bold predictions time! UFC 138 is one of those cards that raise the eyebrows of fans for the wrong reasons. Sporting a card that will look better in person than on paper, the undercard will stream on Facebook while the main card will be shown via tape delay in the states on Spike TV.
All but one of the 20 fighters on Saturdays UFC 138 card made weight today and surprise, surprise it was Thiago Alves who came in heavy. Now before you pop a gasket over Alves missing weight yet again, he was just a single one past the 171 lbs non-title welterweight limit. He was given one hour to get rid of that pesky pound and step back on the scale.
