UFC 132: A battle of Veterans

UFC 132 has 5 fighters who are 30 or more than 10 total hunters on the main map. This is ready to be one of the "oldest" maps in the history of the UFC. The main event will feature Dominick Cruz, current holder of the bantamweight title against Urijiah Faber. The cfu 132 was BJ Penn and Jon Fitch, but the two fighters were forced to withdraw from the competition following an injury. This could be a night that buried some of the Veterans of the UFC for well washed up or to extend their legacy?


Thus for a Hunter, I feel that it will be almost certainly the former. It was Tito Ortiz. He has not won any of his last 5 fights, dating back to the UFC 66. His last victory was against a washed to Ken Shamrock, who was on a series of 3 loss at the time. Why Dana White allowed Ortiz to the fight against Ryan Bader is beyond me. He asked just to finish his career with another loss. Ryan Bader, 28 years old, has a record of 12-1 with his only defeat against Jon Jones (who was to become the UFC events light heavyweight champion two later). I can say without a doubt that this will be the end of the career of Tito Ortiz.


Another combat remarkable features Chris Leben against Wanderlei Silva. Two star fighters knockout power and it is unlikely that these two fighters go the distance. 70% of Silva WINS were via knockout and 52% of the Leben WINS were by knockout. While Silva has lost its last 5 7, his last fight was a victory against the veteran of the UFC, Michael Bisping. On the contrary, Chris Leben has won its last three 4 fighting, but lost his last fight against Brian Stann. The fight could go in both cases, but I'll take Wanderlei Silva by KO, because its a 4-inch reach advantage.


Do not pass unnoticed course is the main event between Dominick Cruz and Urijiah Faber. Cruz is 17-1, but should be noted that the loss is nothing else than Urijiah Faber in 2007. Many thought that Faber was too old to win against Eddie Wineland. It has proven critics wrong by taking a decisive victory against him. Faber is 32, "the California kid" still has fight left in him. Cruz but is only 25 and can overwhelm Faber with its top notch and juvenile agility packaging. 10 of his 17 victories went the distance, which demonstrates its primitive form. I am taking payment and giving the veteran to victory this time. Faber will continue Cruz obstacle.


If while UFC 132 was formerly Penn and Fitch, the event is always loaded with interesting battles. None of the fighting are exciting enough to be a main event initially planned, but I have 4 of these 5 battles with co-main event interest and hype around them. The fourth fight I not mentioned is Carlos Condit against Kim Dong-hyun. Kim is slowly creeping its way up to the UFC. He is unbeaten in 14-0-1 and 5-0 in the UFC. Don't be surprised to see this rising star to get his title shot very soon.
