Well, it has been said there is no smoke without the fire and no heat without the flames. That particular statement holds true for the upcoming event, coming from the stables of the Ultimate Fighting Championships, UFC 130.
Everybody has something to say about the main card fights, especially the Light heavyweights, Rampage Jackson and Matt Hamill clashing and the behemoths, Frank Mir and Roy Nelson looking to bring the roof down.
Apart from that, there’s the slight matter of the five preliminary fights, involving some of the best upcoming talent in the UFC roster. And soon, we will have a look at three of the most promising fighters stepping in the ring at the MGM Grand Arena on May 28th, 2011.
First up is the California native and UFC newcomer, Michael McDonald. Merely a year into his UFC tenure, Michael will be among the most watched young fighters on display, as the fans look to access a UFC 130 live stream.
With a record of 12-1, Michael has won seven fights via knockouts, and his previous fight against Edwin Figueroa at Fight Night 24 was judged the Fight of the Night! The bantamweight will go against Chris Cariaso at the upcoming event.
Another debutant fighter from the WEC, Renan Barao will step into a UFC ring for the very first time, against Cole Escovedo. Renan is an extremely talented fighter with a record of 25-1 and 12 submissions.
The Brazilian had come out to be a submission specialist during his WEC days and a bright prospect for the future of UFC and MMA as well.
