When is ufc 141 fight card

For Fitch, the loss brings about the end of any hopes for a title shot in the near future. A move to middleweight may be in the cards. Alexander Gustafsson defeats Vladimir Matyushenko by technical knockout punches at of the first round. Gustafsson continued his run up the light heavyweight ladder by quickly disposing of Matyushenko in the first round of their fight at UFC As Matyushenko looked to close distance, Gustafsson caught the veteran with a jab.

Four straight wins now have Gustafsson on the brink of becoming a consensus top 10 pounder. Jim Hettes defeats Nam Phan by unanimous decision , , At UFC , Hettes made a statement by remaining undefeated in 10 professional fights with a dominant performance against Phan.

The year-old Hettes easily took Phan to the canvas and threatened with submissions. The up-and-comer also looked close to finishing Phan with accurate and relentless ground and pound throughout the bout. As always, Phan showed incredible toughness, as he became the first of Hettes' opponents to reach the scorecards. However, Phan has now lost three of his past four fights and will need to turn things around soon. Hettes, on the other hand, appears to be a legitimate future title contender.

The youngster faded somewhat after a lopsided first round, but his dangerous ground game makes him a tough fight for most featherweights. Ross Pearson defeats Junior Assuncao by unanimous decision , , It wasn't a flawless performance, and he still showed some holes in his takedown defense, but Pearson made a successful transition to the featherweight division by ending Junior Assuncao's seven-fight winning streak.

Assuncao started out extremely conservative, but the Brazilian was able to take Pearson to the ground multiple times throughout the fight. However, most known for his jiu-jitsu skills, Assuncao wasn't able to take advantage of that positioning. Pearson made Assuncao pay by scoring with combinations to the body.

Both potential match-ups to come out of this are fascinating. Lesnar and dos Santos were set to meet at UFC as the culmination of The Ultimate Fighter, but Lesnar's health issues pushed him out of that fight - a chance to redo that fight, now with the title on the line and Brock looking to regain his belt would make a great story. On the other side, Overeem has stormed through competition all over the world, and if he beats Lesnar, he will absolutely be deserving of a shot at the champion in what would be a great battle of strikers.

Lesnar and Overeem will likely get underway after 11 p.
