E25 – UFC 210 Preview – Daniel Cormier looks to defend

UFC 210 Preview, MMA Fancast digs into the card this weekend from Buffalo, NY.

• Daniel Cormier looks to extend his title reign with another win over the incredibly powerful and extremely dangerous Anthony “Rumble” Johnson UFC 210 Preview
   

  UFC 210 Preview – After withstanding the barrage in the first round of their last clash, Daniel Cormier will look to finish off Rumble so that he can get his rematch against Jon Jones, who is set to return this summer.

• Chris Weidman will look to return to his winning ways against the streaking Gegard Mousasi, who will look to extend his win streak to 5 for the first time this decade. UFC 210 Preview  

   

  Weidman will look to make things happen after going undefeated in his first 13 bouts and being 9-0 in the UFC, having lost his last 2 fights. His devastating loss to Yoel Romero is a memory he wants to quickly erase in his native state of New York. Mousasi is headed in the opposite direction, having won his past 4 fights.

• Cynthia Calvillo fights just one month after her UFC debut and will be looking to keep her perfect record in tact against the UFC debut of Pearl Gonzalez, who hasn’t tasted defeat since her MMA debut and has reeled off 6 straight wins herself. UFC 210 Preview
• Thiago Alves looks to rebound from his first 2 fight losing streak since 2010 against the 11 year UFC vet Patrick Cote. UFC 210 Preview

  Cote has been in there with the best of the best, but can he make it all count against Thiago Alves? Cote has a long history with the UFC, including a 2008 title fight against Anderson “The Spider” Silva. Does he have a chance here?

• Will Brooks looks to avenge his first defeat in years to Alex Oliveira in October against Charles Oliveira, who is making his scheduled lightweight debut after failing to make weight 4 times in the past 5 years at featherweight. UFC 210 Preview

  Brooks have only 2 loses on his resume and has 2 long winning streaks, a 10 and a 9 fight streak. Is he ready to start a new winning streak or will he experience his first ever 2 fight skid?

• In the Conor McGregor saga, there is no guarantee that he will be fighting in the UFC again. If he gets the fight with Mayweather, will he have the motivation to come back to fighting MMA?
