Chin Check - 156 (Preview)
With the third PPV of the year, and first of March, 'UFC 259' has to be the most impressive yet!!!
Fithteen fights, with some intriguing storylines weaved within. Like Jake Matthews who has looked fantastic of late, with a real renewed focus to the game. But he's going in against the unbeaten Sean Brady who has looked like a beast!
We then have the return of Kennedy Nzechukwu, who when he's on his game, seems to have a wealth of potential. He's standing across from 'Dana White's Contender Series' graduate and 'City Kickboxing' alum, Carlos Ulberg. And with the champ as his main training partner, you can't sleep on him because of the perception of inexperience!
Joseph Benavidez and Dominick Cruz both have the opportunity to bounce back from their last fights and show the world they're still very much threats in the game. But their opponents have different narratives they wanna tell and next levels they wanna reach.
Askar Askarov and Casey Kenney aren't here for the show money!
And the card ends with the triple header!!!
First up Aljamain Sterling hopes to cut down to size the man he calls 'Paper Champ'. And with his slick & funky BJJ skills, we could definitely be hearing a 'And New'. But, Petr Yan only just picked up the belt and has no plans of handing it over, to anyone!
Megan Anderson will be looking to utilise her height & reach advantages and pull off something no one in the last seven years has been able to do! She'll be facing a lioness, and once uncaged, Amanda Nunes has looked pretty much unstoppable, beating the who's who of female MMA!!!
THEN, we have the newly minted Light Heavyweight Champ Jan Błachowicz putting his belt on the line against the Middleweight Champ Israel Adesanya. So many questions, will experience play a part? Can speed over come power? Is the weight difference going to make any difference? Will we get a new 'Champ Champ' or 'And Still'!
So, let's preview the upcoming action with today's (ep 156) @ChinCheckPod
- UFC 259: Błachowicz vs Adesanya
