Chicks Heart Fights

Because I was out fighting cancer, I was not able to watch the TUF finale live. I have finally caught up with the TUF matches and news - I will have observations on the Diego/Luigi and Grove/Tanner fights tomorrow.

First off, the Credeur/Yarborough fight was scratched just minutes before it was set to begin. Credeur’s preliminary drug test showed Adderall, a drug usually associated with hyperactive children. It can increase the likelihood of cardiac issues, according to Keith Kizer, of the Nevada State Athletic Commission.

With the Riddle/Dante fight, I don’t know if Riddle was that good, or Rivera was that good. That being said, if Dana White was giving out a most improved award, Riddle would win it, hands down. He has gone from an raw fighter to an up and coming star. He seems hungry to train and learn MMA, and that will serve him well.

The only thing different between the two Amir/C.B. fights was when C.B. submitted. C.B. will have a bright future in the UFC. Working with Arizona Combat Sports, his jiu-jitsu will improve, and he will be a more well-rounded fighter. What can be said about Amir, except, how fun is he? A funny self-deprecating, well-rounded fighter who can take serious punishment is a huge asset to the UFC. I can’t wait to see what he does next.
