UFC Fight Night 15 takes place live tomorrow night, September 17th at the Omaha Civic Center in Omaha, Nebraska. The main event features a showdown between Ultimate Fighter 5 winner Nate Diaz and veteran Josh Neer. In the co-main event Ultimate Fighter 6 winner Mac Danzig steps in the cage with the explosive Clay Guida. It looks to be a great night of fights.
Alessio Sakara v. Joe Vedepo
-After getting TKO'ed by Chris Leben at UFC 82, Alessio Sakara looks to have regrouped himself and is going to take on Jose Vedepo who has been making his name in local promotions with his victories over Brian Green and Todd Carney. Sakara has a history of losing to fighters that are rising in the UFC, Houston Alexander and Chris Leben just to name a couple. However, he does train with the famous American Top Team, and I never count anyone out that trains over there. He will have to execute his boxing and jiu-jitsu very well because Vadepo is a very balanced fighter that could end the fight standing up or on the ground. I think Sakara will fall yet again to a young fighter, and also fall his way on out of the UFC.
Jason Brilz vs. Brad Morris
Nebraska native Jason Brilz is making his UFC debut in his home town of Omaha, Nebraska. Brilz holds notable victories over Jason "The Athlete" MacDonald and Michael Patt. His opponent Brad Morris is coming off of a loss to the rising star in Cain Velasquez at UFC 83. Both fighters are going to take the fight and look for the submission win, but I think Brilz has the advantage in that department because of his win over the former Middleweight title contender. Also keep in mind that Brad Morris is dropping to 205 for this fight, which could be a factor if he gets dehydrated.
Drew McFedries vs. Mike Massenzio
- Coming off a TKO victory over Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale, Drew McFedries competes on yet another preliminary card. His opponent Mike Massenzio is no joke though as he holds victories over Dan Miller and TUF alumni Dante Rivera. Stylistically this looks to be a great match up with McFedries looking for the knockout victory and Massenzio looking to take it to the mat and submit Drew. I think Drew's power will prevail in this one though.
Rob Kimmons vs. Dan Miller
Kimmons has been on a four fight win streak since being defeated by Marvin "The Beastman" Eastman at an IFO event. In his last fight he took on Rob Yundt at The Ultimate Fighter 7 Finale and won by a guillotine choke in the first round. The IFL Middleweight champion Dan Miller is making his UFC debut in this fight. In his last fight, Miller submitted Ryan McGivern who holds two victories over Matt Horwich. This will be another ground battle with Miller having the advantage, but Kimmons holds more submission victories then Miller and he may know how to get in a position better so its any ones game, but I'm going with the IFL champ.
