TIM MEANS VS. NIKO PRICE ADDED TO UFC WICHITA

UFC Wichita (UFC Fight Night 146) takes place Saturday, March 9 at Intrust Bank Arena in Wichita, Kansas.

The card previously was revealed to be headlined by heavyweights Derrick Lewis and Junior dos Santos, and over the weekend a few new preliminary spells were added to the card, through ESPN. The new spells are recorded below, together with my initial reactions to them, in the modern version of MMA odds and ends.
Tim Means vs. Niko Price, UFC Fight Night 146
An intriguing welterweight matchup between Tim Means and Niko Price is place for UFC Fight Night 146. Means (28-10, 1 NC) is 10-7, 1 NC in the UFC and is coming off of a TKO win over Ricky Rainey that snapped a two-fight split conclusion losing skid. At 34 he’s started to age but showed from the Rainey fight his remarkable abilities are still topnotch. Cost (12-2, 1 NC) is currently 4-2, 1 NC at the UFC and is coming off of a fast TKO loss to Abdul Razak Alhassan which has been a disappointing follow-up to his barbarous KO win over Randy Brown in the summer. What a fantastic fight that is involving Means and Price because it is a battle between two guys who will finish the battle on the toes and on the floor. I can see this one going either way, which might be a surprise to those who’ve been following me for many years, but I’d really slightly lean towards Price here just because of his age advantage and the reality Means was in so many wars. The opening line should be close, but I’d probably peg Price as a slight favorite in the open.
Alex Morono vs. Zak Ottow, UFC Fight Night 146
Welterweights Alex Morono and Zak Ottow may even meet with this card. Morono (15-5, 1 NC) is 4-2, 1 NC at the UFC and defeated Kenan Song in a”Battle of the Night” performance his last time out. Ottow (17-6) is 4-3 at the UFC and is coming from a split decision win over Dwight Grant. This is a really evenly-matched connection between two guys in the middle of the bunch at 170lbs who have so far been inconsistent in their UFC livelihood. I’ve been somewhat more impressed with Morono within the Octagon so I’d favor him just a tad here, but on paper it is a close matchup and that I anticipate the opening line to be close a Pick’em.
Louis Smolka vs. Matt Schnell, UFC Fight Night 146
And finally, Louis Smolka and Matt Schnell will move up to bantamweight and compete with this card. Smolka (15-5) recently made his return to the UFC with a submission win over Mudaerji. All-time Smolka includes a 6-5 record in the UFC and is now riding a four-fight win streak complete in MMA. Schnell (11-4) is 2-2 in the UFC and conquered Naoki Inoue and Marco Beltran in his past two outings. Although Schnell has looked better recently, Smolka is the talented fighter and is more proven fighting at 135lbs. I’d have to favor Smolka to win this particular battle, and the fact it’s not occurring at flyweight is just another indication the division is going to be shut down this year.
