Amanda Nunes
Ray Borg vs. Louis Smolka booked for UFC 207 in December
A pair of flyweights looking to rebound from recent disappointing losses has been added to UFC 207.
The Las Vegas Review Journal first reported that Ray Borg and Louis Smolka have agreed to meet at the Dec. 30 event, which takes place at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena. UFC officials subsequently confirmed the booking.
Smolka is currently ranked No. 14 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA flyweight rankings. Borg checks in just behind at No. 15.
“Da Last Samurai” Smolka (11-2 MMA, 5-2 UFC), a 25-year-old Hawaiian, had built an impressive four-fight winning streak before being shocked by Brandon Moreno at October’s UFC Fight Night 96, losing by first-round submission.
“The Tazmexican Devil” Borg (9-2 MMA, 3-2 UFC) is just 23 years old but already boasts five fights under the UFC banner. Most recently, Borg saw a three-fight winning streak snapped with a loss to Justin Scoggnis at February’s UFC Fight Night 82 event.
With the addition to the card, UFC 207 now includes:
Champ Amanda Nunes vs. Ronda Rousey – women’s bantamweight title
Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Cody Garbrandt – bantamweight title
Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum
Alex Garcia vs. Mike Pyle
Johny Hendricks vs. Neil Magny
Tim Means vs. Alex Oliveira
Matt Brown vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Antonio Carlos Junior vs. Marvin Vettori
Sabah Homasi vs. Brandon Thatch
Ray Borg vs. Louis Smolka

UFC bantamweight champ Dominick Cruz meets Cody Garbrandt in UFC 207 co-headliner
“No Love” will get his shot at the UFC bantamweight belt.
UFC officials today confirmed with ESPN that, as expected, Dominick Cruz (22-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) will put hit title on the line against Cody Garbrandt (10-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC) in the co-feature of UFC 207, which takes place Dec. 30 at Las Vegas’ T-Mobile Arena.
The main card of UFC 207 airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. In the main event, former champ Ronda Rousey tries to recapture the women’s bantamweight title when she returns from a layoff in excess of a year to meet new champ Amanda Nunes.
Cruz currently sits at No. 1 in the latest USA TODAY Sports/MMAjunkie MMA bantamweight rankings, while Garbrandt is No. 7.
Garbrandt has been pining for a title shot ever since he knocked out Thomas Almeida in the first round of the UFC Fight Night 88 main event in May, taking a fight-night bonus in the process. He didn’t get it after that, but further stated his case in August when he shut down former WEC bantamweight title challenger Takeya Mizugaki in just 48 seconds with a big TKO.
Cruz has not lost a fight in nine-and-a-half years. It’s been 13 straight since then, though that run has been punctuated with plenty of layoffs due to injury. He became the UFC’s first bantamweight champion after the merger with the WEC and beat Faber and Demetrious Johnson, who went on to become the UFC’s long-reigning flyweight champ.
But after the win over Johnson in October 2011, he was out for nearly three years with knee injuries. He was stripped of his bantamweight title, which eventually was claimed by Renan Barao, then Dillashaw. After a bonus-winning 61-second knockout of Mizugaki when he finally returned in September 2014, Cruz was sidelined for another 16 months.
But he returned in January to challenge Dillashaw and beat him by split decision in a “Fight of the Night” winner. And at UFC 199 in June, he defended the belt in a trilogy fight with Faber, the last man to beat him, moving to 2-1 against “The California Kid.”
With the addition to the card, UFC 207 now includes:
Champ Amanda Nunes vs. Ronda Rousey – women’s bantamweight title
Champ Dominick Cruz vs. Cody Garbrandt – bantamweight title
Cain Velasquez vs. Fabricio Werdum
Alex Garcia vs. Mike Pyle
Johny Hendricks vs. Neil Magny
Tim Means vs. Alex Oliveira
Matt Brown vs. Tarec Saffiedine
Antonio Carlos Junior vs. Marvin Vettori
Sabah Homasi vs. Brandon Thatch

Wederom leuke card, en met UFC 205 binnenkort valt pas op hoe ontzettend UFC 206 zuigt.... Als daar het main event onverhoopt wegvalt, heb je echt niets over.
UFC 205 is zo'n evenement waarvan ik baal dat de prelims waarschijnlijk niet op Fox worden uitgezonden.
Ik neem daar gewoon een fight pass voor, kost 8 euro. Prima te doen en dan kan je elke partij kijken.
Dan moet je live kijken toch? Mijn huidige situatie met kind staat dat gewoon niet meer toe helaas. Ik neem het altijd op en kijk direct 's ochtends.
Prelims kan je ook de volgende ochtend terug kijken meen ik. Anders gewoon downloaden
Precies downloaden in HD kwaliteit die shit

Kom op zeg, die is een partij gek.

Hoop dat rousey haar eigen niveau kan laten zien. Dan zou het wel een mooie partij kunnen worden.
Rousey gaat dit gewoon winnen, Holm was onderschatting en een slechte matchup.

Nunes - Rousey
Cruz - Garbrandt (Ga vol voor Cruz, Garbrandt wordt gehypet)
Velasquez - Werdum
