Unfortunately for Hughes, most of her opposition falls into that category. As well-conditioned and hard-nosed as they come, Hughes is going to steal away some victories from opponents who exceed her in terms of athletic gifts. Sam Hughes, Women’s StrawweightĪfter six fights within the organization, it’s safe to say we have a good feel for what Hughes brings to the table.

Y lo finaliza! deja a Charlie Ontiveros hecho una mancha roja! #UFCVegas39 /GwXoE84kUv In the end, doing my best to be objective, I’m picking Garcia, fully aware there’s a good chance I’ll regret picking against Nuerdanbieke again. That said, Garcia’s chin appears to have been compromised by years of extreme weight cutting and Nuerdanbieke has plenty of raw power. Like Nuerdanbieke, Garcia isn’t a technical marvel, but he isn’t as clunky as Nuerdanbieke. Sure, he can held down for long stretches, but he won’t stop throwing if he can get back to his feet. The Jackson-Wink product possesses the type of mean streak that won’t allow him to back down. It doesn’t appear it will be the case with his UFC 287 opponent in Garcia. Granted, Nuerdanbieke has benefited from opposition that has wilted under his pressure. Far from being a technical marvel anywhere, he is durable, strong as an ox, and doesn’t deter easily. Riding a three-fight win streak, the native of China has proven me wrong. I’ll admit I haven’t been the biggest believer in Nuerdanbieke. Goodman © AugIgnacio Bahamondes demonstrating his explosiveness on Roosevelt Roberts. Ogden is durable, so I’ll guess he can go the distance. Plus, while the contest was made a catchweight for Ogden’s sake, it may benefit the lanky Bahamondes even more. Ogden may only need one takedown, but Bahamondes isn’t a sure thing to submit. Ogden may have outstruck Daniel Zellhuber, but the young Mexican appeared to have a bad case of stage fright in his UFC debut and Bahamondes has never been shy with his volume.

Not the classic quick-twitch athlete, Bahamondes is massive for the division, with a technical kickboxing game with an always improving understanding of how to use his length. It’s hard to see it being any easier against Bahamondes at UFC 287. Unfortunately for him, it’s been a major struggle for him to do so in the UFC. Knowing he isn’t going to out-athlete anyone on the roster, Ogden relies on being the smarter man in the cage and playing up what he’s best at: grappling. He makes up for it by exemplifying what veteran savvy is all about. Ogden is one of the most bland athletes in the division. 𝕽𝖆𝖎𝖓𝖒𝖆𝖐𝖊𝖗❂ AugLoopy Godinez using her striking to set up a takedown. I have a hard time seeing Calvillo responding well to Godinez being in her face the entirety of the fight. It can’t be easier now that she’s in her mid-30’s. After all, she missed weight pretty badly in two of her last three fights at strawweight. It’s no sure thing Godinez’s wrestling will be effective against Calvillo, but I’m not convinced the cut to 115 will be good for Calvillo. Where Godinez thrives is staying in her opponent’s face and pursuing takedown after takedown. Then again, while Godinez is improving her standup, she has a long way to go before she can consistently win fights based on what her fists have to offer. Perhaps fighting an opponent with less pop in their punches will help. Any semblance of confidence had disappeared. While she once appeared to be the next big thing the UFC was pushing on everyone, she appears to be a shell of that fighter since she was bulldozed by Jessica Andrade. That’s mainly because no one is excited to see Calvillo return at all. I can’t think of anyone who is excited to see Calvillo returning to the strawweight division.
