Chin Check - 171 (Preview)

The fight fun kicks off Friday night with 'Bellator 256' and this week it's time for their 'Light Heavyweight World Grand Prix' to get underway. And it's a rematch between two former Champs Ryan Bader and Lyoto Machida. They've fought before and Machida got the W, so Bader is looking for revenge and to advance in the brackets.

And the Co-main sees ladies pioneer Liz Carmouche go at it with former 'Invicta FC' Champ Vanessa Porto whose making her debut.

Then Saturday evening (it's an early show) is the 'UFC's' second event on 'ABC'.

And we see Kevin Holland make a quick turnaround against 'The Italian Dream' Marvin Vettori whose been on a tear of late. Holland wants redemption and Vettori wants that title shot!

This is a stacked card, which could see a changing of the guard!!!

We're seeing young guns and 'Dana White Contender Series' vets, Joe Solecki and Julian Marquez looking to elevate to the next level. Solecki has the challenge of true vet and tough as nails Jim Miller. While Marquez has a Sam Alvey whose smile might become a scowl, as he could be fighting for his job!

So, let's break it all down, in today's (ep 171) @ChinCheckPod
