MATCHES TO MAKE AFTER UFC 214

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Anaheim, CA for the first time in promotional history Saturday (July 29, 2017) with UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones II. It was a fun night of action that saw half of the bouts end inside the space, and together with all the bits today in our rear perspective, let’s look at some possible matchups featuring some of the competitors in the day…
Daniel Cormier vs. Jimi Manuwa
Cormer dropped his UFC light heavyweight title to former name holder Jon”Bones” Jones in a rematch through third-round TKO. That marked the official defeat of his pro MMA career, with both from Jones. For his return struggle following the loss, I would like to watch him take on Manuwa, who came up short at UFC 214, losing to Volkan Oezdemir via knockout inside of the opening minute of their very first round of action. The Brit was on the brink of a title shot but will have to go back for one more look at the drawing board. If Cormier and Manuwa won, this fight would have probably gotten produced, but now that they came up short, I think it makes sense to put it all together. 2018 are a good time to pit these two against each other in what would be a striker versus grappler matchup.
Tonya Evinger vs. Liz Carmouche
Evinger made her long-awaited UFC debut, even though a weight class above in the UFC’s new women’s featherweight division, where she collaborated for the branch’s empty title against Cris”Cyborg” Justino. She came up short, losing the bout via third-round TKO, though she exhibited tremendous heart and won over many new fans. She’ll certainly be dropping down into the UFC’s 135-pound division for her next bout, in which I would love to watch her take on Carmouche, that last saw action at UFC 205 last November in Madison Square Garden in nyc, where she defeated Katlyn Chookagian via split decision. I believe a potential Evinger versus Carmouche matchup will make for an superb fit to the card to the UFC’s upcoming return trip to the Big Apple for UFC 217.
Jason Knight vs. Renato Moicano
Knight and Moicano both came up short this past Saturday night, with Knight suffering a first-round TKO loss to Ricardo Lamas and Moicano being filed with a guillotine choke by Brian Ortega in the next round of their contest. Following the defeats, I think that it could make sense to pit both of these enjoyable. This potential contest would be an ideal fit on the card to the UFC Fight Night in Virginia of November.
