#UFC212 Preview

By Darryn Smith

#UFC is back for another stacked card coming off of #UFCStockholm last weekend. The Summer is starting to heat up with good UFC's cards coming soon. This card could not get any better when two champions collide to see who is the undisputed UFC Featherweight title. Jose Aldo vs Max "Blessed" Halloway. Conor McGregor currently held this belt but took is usual time off after winning each belt along with his 155 belt which he currently holds too. Jose Aldo had to beat Frankie Edgar for interm belt at #UFC200. Halloway had to beat Anthony "Showtime" Pettis in interm belt back last December to put him in place for this fight on Saturday night. Since, McGregor never defended his 145 belt than UFC took actions into their own hands and just granted the 145 belt to Aldo after a year of inactivity from McGregor. So with all the drama between getting this fight together, we finally have these two meet to settle the score. This should be one of the most exciting fights of the night. In addition, we will say farewell to one of the greatest champions to leave our sport this Saturday is Vitor Belfort. His MMA career speaks for itself. Vitor is a Living Legend and soon to be UFC Hall of Famer soon. If you ever get a chance, #UFCFightPass should have a special section dedicated to his career. Thanks for the memories Vitor. Salute! My 8-bit MMA Fighter of The Week is Claudia Gadelha. She was born in Mossoto,Rio Grande Do Norte,Brazil. Gadelha also has head coaching experience when she was on The Ultimate Fighter show against Joanna Jedrzejczyk before they fought that season. Tough battle but Jedrzejczyk won in the match in 2014 and won again in 2016. Her last win came last November against Cortney Casey. She trained her whole fighting career in her native land but recently moved to USA to train under #JacksonWinkMMA/Lutterrell-Lee MMA last year for a new start and to fine tune her skills. The move was not easy for Gadelha. She misses her family,friends,and teammates everyday back home but has found new strength/energy to push through this adversity so she can make better decisions in life to become a champion to solidify her career. Also, Gadelha had a short stint in the top WMMA elite promotion #InvictaFC, where she remained undefeated. Gadelha is a solid accurate powerful striker. She studies every opponent well to expose their weaknesses during her fights. Gadelha has earned two title shots against UFCStrawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Like they say, third time is a charm so if she can secure this win Saturday than she will be closer to a third title shot depending on who UFC puts Joanna Jedrzejczyk up against next. Rose Namajunas should be next in line but UFC likes to see which fight will excite the fans and how much money it will bring them in overall. Do not miss this fight between these ladies. They have been trained like crazy for this fight and will settle it all once that cage door closes.
