BE fight experts, Zane Simon & Dayne Fox, are here tonight – Sat, August 21st. to breakdown the UFC Vegas 34: ‘Cannonier vs. Gastelum’ event. The guys will have hot takes, possible next fights, as well as reactions to the overall event. The UFC featured a Middleweight clash in the main event of tonight’s Fight Night card. It was anticipated to be a worthwhile bout to catch, between fight veterans, number 3-ranked contender Jared Cannonier, who was sporting a 13-5 record, and number 9-seeded Kelvin Gastelum with his 17-7 record. Outcome: ‘Tha Killa Gorilla’ came out the Middleweight victor tonight when he earned a ferocious unanimous decision win over Gastelum in our Main Event. They traded some leg kicks early on, a vicious left hand was landed by Cannonier during the course of the bout. In the third round Cannonier rocked Gastelum with a ‘rock-em sock-em robot’ style punch, Gastelum kept his head and went the distance though, despite a brief knock down in the fourth. He countered with a take down of his own before it was over; but when all was said and done, the ambidextrous Cannonier walked away with that “W” tonight. For the co-main event we had a LW brawl between the returning OG combatant, Clay Guida with a storied 36-20 record & up-and-comer, the 10-0 undefeated, Mark O. Madsen, grappling it out in the co-main event. Outcome: “Following a broken jaw suffered in his last fight as well as the devastating news that his wife had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, the 2016 Olympic silver medalist in Greco-Roman wrestling had the odds against him going into Saturday night. Still, Madsen hung tough with Clay Guida round after round and ultimately gutted out a hard fought split decision to remain undefeated in his professional fighting career. The scorecards read 30-27, 29-28 and 28-28 with Madsen moving to 11-0 with the win.” – ht MMAFighting Also on the card, we had a highly-anticipated FW bout between Alexandre Pantoja and Brandon Royval, a BW bout between Brian Kelleher & Domingo Pilarte, a Women’s BW match up between Josiane Nunes & Bea Malecki, a decent scrap between Light HWs William Knight & Fabio Cherant, which were part of a decent card tonight overall. Overall, this 12-bout card saw 3 1st Rd finishes, 3 KO/TKO’s, 3 subs, & 6 decisions, 1 split (our co-main event). Rounding things out, bonuses for putting forth POTN efforts went to Bahamondes, Knight, Nunes, & Pantoja; FOTN honors went to No One tonight.
