UFC on FUEL 1: Final Main Card Predictions from the B/R MMA Staff
Bleachersreport
This Wednesday night, UFC welterweights Diego "The Dream" Sanchez and Jake "The Juggernaut" Ellenberger headline a promising and entertaining night of UFC action that will be held live from the Omaha Civic Auditorium in Omaha, Nebraska and aired exclusively on FUEL TV with preliminaries airing only on Facebook (though some may air on the FUEL TV broadcast).The card on FUEL TV will mark the first time that a "Fight Night" style of main card has aired on FUEL TV, and even though some may not find it to be the most loaded card, they may be surprised at the action that they lay witness.
In addition to the headliner featuring the two iron-chinned welterweights, Dave Herman returns to the Octagon for the second time in his career to contend with the UFC's tallest heavyweight, Stefan "Skyscraper" Struve, in the co-main event of the evening.
Originally slated for the main card was the middleweight debut of Ronny Markes against Aaron "A-Train" Simpson, a heavyweight bout between Stipe Miocic and Philip De Fries and a bantamweight bout between T.J. Dillashaw and Walel "The Gazelle" Watson.
However, the now-six-fight main card will kick off with a bantamweight bout between The Ultimate Fighter 14 alumnus John Albert and Ivan Menjivar.
As always, John Heinis, Dwight Wakabayashi and Jordy McElroy join me, Dale De Souza, in our final predictions for the UFC's first card on FUEL TV!
