Poll: What Will Be UFC 185’s “Fight Of The Night”?
With UFC 185 set to pop off tomorrow night (Sat., March 14, 2015) from the American Airlines Center in Dallas, MMA fans everywhere should witness a stacked card with the potential to be one of the best events of the crowded year.
In the main event, rising superstar and lightweight champion Anthony Pettis will defend his belt for the second time in just over three months when he takes on streaking top contender Rafael dos Anjos. Anytime “Showtime” takes to the cage, you can be assured that the potential for a highlight reel knockout or submission is there, but he’s far from the only big name gracing the card.
Newly crowned women’s strawweight champ Carla Esparza will make her first title defense against intense Polish striker Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a bout that could surprise many and bring the women’s 115-pound arena to the forefront.
Former welterweight champion Johny Hendricks will look to battle his way back to a title shot against the nonstop motor of Matt “The Immortal” Brown in a potentially classic slugfest that definitely ranks as an early frontrunner for “Fight of the Night.”
And if you’re looking for a knockout, then look no further than the heavyweight clash between former Strikeforce and DREAM heavyweight boss Alistair Overeem and fan favorite slugger Roy “Big Country” Nelson, a bout that would be an absolute shock were it to go the distance.
Olympic gold medalist Henry Cejudo will also attempt to make the flyweight limit of 126 pounds once again after winning his last fight at bantamweight when he faces recent title contender Chris Cariaso to start the main card.
The preliminary card is also packed full of solid fights, making UFC 185 a great looking card from top to bottom. What bout is your pick to win “Fight of the Night” on the packed card?
