Chin Check - 147 (Preview)
It's only February, but the BIG fights are coming right at you!
We're already at our second PPV of the year, and it's a doozy!
So many great fights to talk about at 'UFC 258', but the Main card is jammed with clashes that could have headed up their own 'Fight Night'!
You should know how tough Dhiego Lima is, he's gone through two 'Ultimate Fighters', season 19, he got to the final, but it didn't go his way. Had three fights, 1-2. No problem, he went to the regionals, he got back for season 25. Again to the final, again, wasn't his night, BUT things are different. Lost the first fight, but now he's on a three streak. Lima has good BJJ and can put your lights out. Is it enough when facing Belal Muhammad, 17-3, and those three were no joke. Muhammad is on a three streak too, Millender, Sato & Good and his energy is different now. So after Saturday, he's beating you'll 'Remember The Name'!
In 2018 Ian Heinisch elbowed his way through the 'Dana White's Contender Series' and came into the UFC strong, with two wins. Hit a bit of a skid, but course corrected in a BIG way at 'UFC 250' and now believes it's his time to shine! Kelvin Gastelum has had a bit of a rough time of late and you know he wants to get the taste of the last fight out his mouth. BUT, he's still the kid who everyone doubted on season 17 of the Ultimate Fighter and shocked everyone, before going on a four fight tear. Plus, he's still 'On A mission 4 Gold'!
In the Co-main Maycee Barber is back, after experiencing her first loss at UFC 246 and ending her dream of becoming the youngest UFC Champion. The desire to be champ isn't gone though, and she's ready to start the rebuild & push on Saturday! Ever since her time in Invicta FC, you could see how special Alexa Grasso is. Things haven't always gone her way, but with the win at 'UFC on ESPN+ 33: Smith vs. Rakić' you could see the fire is still burning strong and she's ready to use her experience to go all the way!
Gilbert Burns vs Kamaru Usman, former teammates, allies in the trenches go head to head! Burns has been on a tear, ready to jump in the fire against anyone. Now, Usman, undefeated in the UFC, he's fought some savages and never looked shock, won the belt in impressive fashion, and defended in the same way. Burns has said, 'the difference between them is, Unman wants to dominate you, but he wants to finish you'. Saturday night we find out, EVERYTHING!?!
So, let's preview the upcoming action with today's (ep 147) @ChinCheckPod 🥊
- UFC 258: Usman vs Burns
