MATCHES TO MAKE AFTER UFC 214

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was back in Anaheim, CA for the seventh time in promotional background Saturday (July 29, 2017) using UFC 214: Cormier vs. Jones II. It was an entertaining night of activity that saw half of the bouts end inside the distance, and together with the scraps today in our rear perspective, let’s look at some potential matchups featuring a few of the opponents from the evening…
Daniel Cormier vs. Jimi Manuwa
Cormer dropped his UFC light heavyweight title to former title holder Jon”Bones” Jones in a rematch through third-round TKO. That marked the official defeat of his pro MMA profession, with both from Jones. For his return fight after the loss, I would like to see him shoot on Manuwa, who came up short at UFC 214, dropping to Volkan Oezdemir via knockout inside the opening moment of the very first round of action. The Brit was on the edge of a title shot but will now have to go back for another look at the drawing board. In case Cormier and Manuwa won, this struggle would have likely gotten made, but now that they came up short, I believe it makes sense to put it all together. Early 2018 are a fantastic time to pit these two from each other in what is a striker versus grappler matchup.
Tonya Evinger vs. Liz Carmouche
Evinger made her long-awaited UFC debut, although a weight class above in the UFC’s new women’s featherweight division, where she collaborated for the division’s empty title against Cris”Cyborg” Justino. She came up short, losing the bout through third-round TKO, though she displayed huge heart and won over many new fans. She’ll surely be dropping down into the UFC’s 135-pound branch for her next bout, in which I would love to watch her shoot on Carmouche, who last saw action at UFC 205 last November at Madison Square Garden in New York City, where she defeated Katlyn Chookagian via split decision. I think a possible Evinger versus Carmouche matchup will make for an superb fit to the preliminary card for the UFC’s upcoming return trip to the Big Apple for UFC 217.
Jason Knight vs. Renato Moicano
Knight and Moicano both came up short last Saturday night, with Knight suffering a first-round TKO loss to Ricardo Lamas and Moicano being filed using a guillotine choke by Brian Ortega from the next round of their contest. Following the defeats, I think that it could make sense to pit these two fun. This possible 145-pound contest would be a perfect fit on the card to November’s UFC Fight Night in Virginia.
