What a day for fight fans. Taco Tuesday and Two for Tuesday. I'm gonna grab some super excellent tacos from my favorite food truck and jam out.

First up is the season debut of DWCS. This series is growing in popularity here because the fights are often outstanding and many of the fighters get signed to the UFC. It's all action all of the time. This PbP is hosted by my musical brother from another mother, our distinguished colleague, bassist extraordinaire sporting a fresh Deborah Harry avatar @Jackonfire!

Then later this evening it's another episode of The Ultimate Fighter. This season has been great. Both coaches - Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso - have displayed professionalism, insight and empathy for their fighters. You love to see it. Bravo to them, their coaches and their teams.

This TUF will be the last of the Middleweight semis. Grasso teammates Robert Valentin of Switerland vs. Paddy McCorry of Ireland. Valentin is a philosophical dude who has thus far smashed his opponents. Early in the season he requested that he help coach and Alexa wisely allowed him the honor. Valentin has been tremendous - instilling confidence in his bros who often improve their performance because of his inspiration. Paddy is cool too. This should be an explosive fight!

See you shermofos later. Tell us what you're eating, drinking & smoking. Did I mention it's Taco Tuesday?

Can't wait.

Fun fact: 2 fighters that have beat 'Poatan' Alex Pereira are scheduled to compete on this season.

Quemuel Ottoni who was the first fighter to beat Alex in MMA in 2015, is facing Kody Steele in September.

Artem Vakhitov who is the last fighter to beat Alex in kickboxing is facing Islem Masraf in October.

Also, Yousri Belgaroui who lost twice to Alex in kickboxing is facing Anvarbek Daniyalbekov in September on the DWCS.
 
Excited for this. DWCS is easy to watch. It's only 5 fights, sometimes 4 if a fighter struggles to make weight and it's 2 hours that fly by instead of the usual 6-8 hour show from the weekends. I enjoy fights, but I'm at the point where less is more.

Lone'er vs. An Ton is such a good fight. Both guys should eventually be in the UFC. They both have the fan friendly style Dana is looking for on the show.
 
Speed viewing some of these guys, I wasn't impressed with Schultz in his last fight and thought his opponent could have beaten him - he gave Schultz a pasting in the second round.

Meng Ding vs Rami Hamed looks like it will be all-out striking. Hamed has that bladed stance and looks like a TKD guy through and through. I dunno who is going to win the striking battle, but whoever does wins the fight, I don't think either are great anywhere else. Meng Ding has GnP'ed a couple of fighters but if he's wrestled, I must've missed it. Since I can't tell who's going to win, I've picked Hamed - but that could be a silly pick as Ding has tons of experience and has better hands.

Watched Sazhiniani but wasn't very impressed. Can see why he did well on the regionals, but not sure it will translate well. Can see him getting tapped.

Didn't really watch much of Delgado-Juarez.

Think An Tuan Ho will look tidy losing a decision to a better fighter with a better pedigree in Kavanagh.

All underdogs. I think they all are live

Part of me really wants to pick An Tuan Ho to win. I am a HUGE fan of the kid.
I think Kavanaugh might just be too well-rounded and talented for him, but I hope it's a banger and they both get signed.

I kinda hate this matchup, but it's also really great. They both could have fought lesser opponents and both got highlight reel finishes and contracts. But whoever wins I think both will be in the UFC this year and for a long time.

We could be watching the first chapter in an historic Flyweight rivalry. I can't wait. Less than an hour to go!
