Some Rear Naked Chokes
On a humid Nashville Night
The Music Ignites
UFC Fight Night in Nashville offered an exciting match up between Amanda Nunez and Sara McMann. Nunez had won two of the last three matches before entering this weekend's contest. McMann on the otherhand, has lost two of the last three before this last weekend. In the first round, Nunez caught McMann with a couple of nice strikes and was able to get McMann to the ground. From there Nunez was lighting up McMann with a flurry of punches until McMann rolled right into a rear near naked choke. Nunez for the win.
The outcome adds some interesting dynamic to the 135 pound weight class. Nunez wants to fight Ronda Rousey, but I am not sure she have that chance anytime soon. I think people are still ready for the Rousey and Cyborg fight. It will be interesting to see what happens to McMann though. At 34, and losing 3 of the last 4 fights, Sara McMann could be on the decline in her MMA career and we will have to see if she is able to get another fight.
Another amusing brawl was the main card fight between Glover Teixeira against Ovince St-Preux. In this light heavy weight match up, Teixeira and St-Preux fought back and forth. Ovince was able to hurt Teixeira with some nasty kicks, but Teixeira hung in there and made some adjustments. Glover Teixeira was able to outlast St-Preux as both looked fairly exhausted and caught St-Preux in a rear naked choke.
A fitting display of rear naked chokes in the hot and humid, Nashville, Tennessee.
