Event Primer - UFC 154

Welcome to Leg Kick TKO, a MMA blog that's less ridiculous than being an "American-Whu-Hit-U" fighter.

UFC 154 is on Saturday, and thankfully it starts at night time in the Western hemisphere (Best hemisphere).  Here are the fights and what I think about them!

Preliminary Card - Facebook

Featherweight - Steven "Super" Siler vs. Darren "The Damage" Elkins

• Siler's Style - Grappling
• Other Siler Nickname - Steven "The Miller Killer" Siler
• Elkins's Style - Wrestling
• Prediction - Elkins is going to do so many wrestles to Siler and win by decision
• Thoughts - After checking out Siler's record, I'm convinced something called "Olly Bradstreet" is some kind of nightmare monster for him.

Bantamweight - Ivan "The Pride of El Salvador" Menjivar vs. Azamat "Tough Guy" Gashimov

• Menjivar's Style - Striking, BJJ
• Gashimov's Style - Wrestling
• Prediction - Menjivar is going to submit the heck outta Gashimov
• Thoughts - I don't know anything about Gashimov, but Menjivar is really cool, so he should win everything.

Welterweight - Matt "Deep Waters" Riddle vs. John "The One" Maguire

• Riddle's Style - Wrestling, BJJ
• Maguire's Style - Submissions, Gypsy Jiu-Jitsu
• Prediction - I think Maguire is going to submit Riddle.
• Thoughts - I'm slowly starting to like Riddle as a fighter (And he always seemed like a decent enough person, but I'm liking that more, too), but being a "Gypsy Jiu-Jitsu" practicioner is too rad to pass up.  Also, I wonder if Riddle will test positive for weed for this fight!

Featherweight - Antonio "Pato" Carvahlo vs. Rodrigo Damm

• Carvahlo's Style - Striking, BJJ
• Damm's Style - Wrestling, BJJ
• Prediction - Carvahlo wins with a TKO
• Thoughts - Carvahlo has never lost in Canada, so, scientifically, he will win this fight.  Damm's sister, Carina also fights and has the weird nickname of "Beauty But the Beast".
