My keyboard warrior analyze of Ufc cards is back to due popular demand. And with poular demand I mean One request
On Saturday It's Time for UFC 131, Carwin Vs JDS. Was supposed to be jds vs brock until brock got the diverticulitis Again and has now undergone surgey and It was sucessfull. So its rehab time for Brock.
Not alot of big name matches on this card (that doesnt mean anything when it comes to potential great matches though) so Im just gonna focus on the main event.
JDS: Coming out of a 6 fight winning streak in the ufc (never lost in the ufc) 4 out of those 6 has ended in the first round with either KO / TKO. They say JDS has the best standup among HW's in the UFC and I dont know If I can argue. Good boxing which is only getting better and everytime he fights. One reason might be because he gets to train with Anderson Silva on a daily basis. And he trains his ground game with the Nogueira brothers. He is better standing up then on the ground though. And because of Shane being a great wrestler the key for jds is to keep this Standing up. Shane has Super heavy hands but I think JDS can out strike him with the advantage in Speed and technique. And speed kills.
Carwin: Carwin is coming off the loss to Brock which many might argue is because Carwin gassed the fuck out. Besides brock fight hes 4-0 in the ufc and all fights ending in the first round due to either KO / TKO. Carwin is also well aware of the conditioning problem and has taken the neccecary steps to improve this. This means Carwin has dropped 25 pounds and it now "faster" then ever. And has not lost any significant they say. But what do we know. He has also ondergone neck surgey which was sucessfull. Apaprently had a constant pain in his neck for year due to compressed nerves or something. So Carwin is coming back from That and the 25 pounds weight loss. So we dont really know what to expect. Will he all of a sudden be alot faster then he used to be? Shocking JDS with his new found speed? Has it weakened him to he wont be able to take down jds? We dont know.
I do feel that Carwin key to victory is taking jds DOWN. HE might stand for a little while until he realises its better to take him down or go for the td Right away. We shall see.
This is in my mind an easier fight for Jsp then Lesnar would have been. The winner of this fight also gets to fight Cain velasquez for the title.
Demian Maia Vs Mark Munoz:
The classic wrestler VS grappler. Maia is argubable the best submission artist in the UFC today. But he hasn't impressed in his last fights so I dont know what we will see.
Mark munoz is a great wrestler =
"In high school, Muņoz was a two-time California State Wrestling Champion at 189 pounds for Vallejo High School, Asics First Team All American and the 1996 NHSCA National High School Champion.
As a collegian at Oklahoma State University, Muņoz captured two Big 12 titles and earned back-to-back All-America honors at 197 pounds, including his NCAA title as a senior in 2001. He became the first Filipino American at the Division I Level to win a National Championship. He also made the NWCA All-Academic Team for three years and the Big 12 All-Academic squad for four. Additionally, Muņoz was a three-year member of the FILA Junior World Wrestling Team, earning the silver medal in 199"
But hasn't really dominated people in the cage as you would think with his wrestling. So has he adjusted it better for MMA this time?
Will munoz stand with maia or take him down and wrestlefuck him for 3 rounds? Does he even want to be a maia's guard though? I dont know. Would be better for him and the fans if he kept it standing as maia shouldn't have a chance in taking him down. And especially not holding him down if munoz accidentally trips or something.
Jon Olav Einemo (Norwegian) vs Dave herman.
Jan olav was orginally supposed to face Carwin at this card since JDS was supposed to face lesnar. But with brocks illnesss carwin stepped up and Olav has to do with Dave herman. Which is kinda a shame and a huge stepdown. a win over carwin would hve propelled him to the top right away.
Many people might not have a clue who Jon olav is, But hes a Huge norwegian and an Awesome grappler. He is also the Only man to defeat Roge gracie in Abu dhabi open tournament.
Jan olav's last fight was in Pride in 2006 which he won. So hes coming of a Long layoff due to wanting to spend time with his kid and now gets a chance in the ufc right away due to Jan training at Golden Glory and they have good contact with UFC.
So really looking forward to this fight because myself being half Norwegian and all lol.
