POST-UFC FIGHT NIGHT 109: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was in Stockholm, Sweden for the fifth time in promotional history last Sunday (May 28, 2017) using UFC Fight Night 109: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira. It was a good night of fights that watched six of 12 bouts finish by end, and with the scraps now in our rear perspective, let’s look at that of the day’s competitors we may no longer see in activity within the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Alex Nicholson
Nicholson happened on Jack Hermansson and lost via TKO. He is now on a two-fight deficit inside the Octagon and 1-3 in the UFC. Following the loss to Hermansson, I think there is a fantastic opportunity that Nicholson will soon be receiving his walking papers out of the advertising. Along with his latest skid, he is also known to produce headlines for reasons that were negative, and I believe the UFC will be pleased cutting ties . I see him becoming published, and I don’t find him working his way back to the huge display, despite being just 27 decades old.
Chris Camozzi
Camozzi came up at a unanimous-decision loss to Trevor Smith and is now riding a three-fight losing streak in what is his third stint with the UFC. He was discharged after four consecutive losses last time and has dropped just three consecutive this time, but I believe it’s probably that he will be receiving a pink slip from the promotion. I would prefer to watch him get a fourth shot for a second time, but I’ve got my doubts about it. Should he get released, I believe this time he’ll head to Bellator instead of the regional circuit in Colorado in hopes of working his way to a fourth UFC stint.
Nico Musoke
Musoke returned from an elongated layoff to take in Sweden on Bojan Velickovic in the front of the home crowd. He was up on the judges’ scorecards en route to some decision triumph using half a second left in the competition. That’s when he had been caught with a test right hook that staggered him, putting him on ice skates and enabling Velickovic to finish him. The loss makes it two straight for the Swede, and he’s now 1-3 in his last four. I believe it is 60/40 he is going to probably be getting released from the UFC. I lean towards them giving him a third shot because he just returned from an extended layoff, was winning the struggle until getting caught and the promotion could use him European cards.
