Welcome to Leg Kick TKO, a MMA
blog that’s spiraling downwards more than Drew Fickett.
UFC on Fuel: Franklin vs. Le is coming live from Macau at like 9AM ET on Saturday, yeesh. Here are the fights!
Facebook Prelims
Welterweight - David "Daudi" Mitchell vs. Hyun Gyu "The Ace" Lim
- Mitchell's Style - Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu
- Alternate Mitchell Nicknames - David "HENNIMORE!" Mitchell
- Lim's Style - Boxing
- Prediction - Lim will do some ferocious punching upon Mitchell's countenance and win via knockout.
- Thoughts - Mitchell is kinda cool because his fight with TJ Waldburger had roughly fifty submission attempts every minute of every round (Ineffective grappling is really fun sometimes). I've never seen Lim fight, so I'm probably SUPER WRONG on the prediction (But, I'm SUPER WRONG on predictions between two fighters I've seen fight for years, so I guess I'm just awful at picks)
Middleweight - Riki Fukuda vs. Tom DeBlass
- Fukuda's Style - Wrestling
- DeBlass's Style - BJJ
- Prediction - Fukuda will grind DeBlass into a wrestley paste, win by decision.
- Thoughts -I like that both Fukuda and DeBlass have stoppages over guys that have lost spectacularly in the UFC (Fukuda TKO'd Brandon Wolff, who got MURDERED by Ben Saunders's Muay Thai clinch knees, and DeBlass Achilles locked Sean Salmon, who took a hilarious head kick KO from Rashad Evans)
Flyweight - Yashuhiro Urushitani vs. John "Hands of Stone" Lineker
- Urushitani's Style - Hugs, some punches
- Lineker's Style - Punches
- Prediction - Lineker by punches, TKO.
- Thoughts - This should be a mega-fun fight (TINY PUNCHMEN BEST PUNCHMEN). I'm a little conflicted on the prediction, since Lineker lost to green haired dingus Louis Gaudinot, while Urushitani defeated currently Flyweight #1 contender, John Dodson (Though that was 8 years ago, so it's hardly useful). Whatever, I think Lineker has enough power to put Urushitani to sleep.
Bantamweight - Alex "Bruce Leeroy" Caceres vs. Motonobu Tezuka
- Caceres's Style -Submissions
- Tezuka's Style -Grappling
- Prediction -Tezuka by excessive hugging (Decision)
- Thoughts -I don't know anything about Tezuka, but Caceres is pretty much average at best (So watch him turn in the best performance ever and make me look even more dumber)
