Fight Predictions: UFC on ESPN+ 57: Lewis vs Daukaus
'UFC on ESPN+ 57: Lewis vs Daukaus' (#UFCVegas45) is fast approaching, and when all said & done, it should offer a LOT to unwrap!
There's many different intriguing components of this card. Fighters who want to reestablish, make a statement or secure their jobs!
It opens up with the monkey king vs a robot, as Jordan Leavitt (@monkeyking_ufc) & Matt Sayles (@matt_sayles) square off. Both coming off loses, and wanting to show their not flashes in the pan!
The affects of 'Thanksgiving' may have impacted things, as THREE fighters missed weight, one a heavyweight!!!
The question is, will this affect the performance of Macy Chiasson (@macychiasson), Sijara Eubanks (@sarjncharge) & Justin Tafa (@justin.tafa) 🇼🇸 🇳🇿 🇦🇺. AND, can their opponents, Raquel Pennington (@raquel_pennington), Melissa Gatto (@melissagattomma) 🇧🇷 & Harry Hunsucker (@hurricane_hunsucker) capitalise or will they be disadvantaged!?!
The Main card opens with Cub Swanson (@cubswanson) 🌴 vs Darren Elkins (@DarrenElkinsMMA), 'Killer Damage' is definitely the tagline for this one!
Plus we have an intriguing Strawweight clash, between Amanda Lemos (@amandalemos_ufc) 🇧🇷 vs Angela Hill (@angieoverkill). With a win, Lemos could step into the contendership, and for Hill, it would show she can hang with the next level of talent, and get herself on track for the ultimate goal!
THEN, in the Main event, the heavyweights go at it. Chris Daukaus (@Chris_Daukaus) 👮🏻♂️ has an opportunity to authenticate the potential. As he gets his first headline spot, and top ten opponent. While Derrick Lewis (@TheBeastUFC) 🦍 wants to show that last time out isn't who he is. And, that movement is great, BUT power is priceless!!!
