Yan Cabral out with Dengue Fever, Alex "Cowboy" Oliveira steps in against KJ Noons

[Rebel_LioN]

KJ having already fought one 'Cowboy,' faces his 2nd Cowboy in the Brazilian Alex Oliveira.

It will be Oliveria's sophomore UFC appearance with his 1st fight also fighting on really short notice against highly touted Blackzilian prosect Gilbert Burns. His striking was shining in that fight and busted Burns up on the feet and at moments hung with the BJJ world champion on the ground until the last minute slick transition from omoplata to armbar made him tap.

Should be a good scrap on the feet here with Noons being one to oblige.

Ew. Fuck mosquitos.

 

[Hans Gercmiov]

Cowboy always willing to take a fight on short notice.

 

[BayStyles]

I like this fight better. I only saw "Brazillian Cowboy" fight once but it seems like it'd be a good stylistic matchup between him and KJ

 

[vkram]

Veronese would be proud of his Brazilian counterpart

 

[Momentosis]

Should be a good throwdown.

 

[LEXTHEANARKIST]

There can only be one.

 

[LEXTHEANARKIST]

Veronese would be proud of his Brazilian counterpart

Lol, auto correct

 

[Furious George]

Sleazy Machida vs Arona please

 

[BrazilianDude]

Well, I like Cowboy is far more entertaining than Cabral at least. I hope Cabral recovers soon though.

Dengue Fever was the Arona excuse for the Sokoudjou loss, for the old schoolers.

 

[UFCFantasyMVP]

Cowboy has really good footwork and is strong as heck, as displayed in the Burns fight. I expect him to win a decision.

 

[Richard Fannin]

No fucking way, Cabral/Noons was the fight I wanted to see the most on this card... damn...
Yan has the worst luck ever, he won his first fight during TUF Brasil and then got injured... and now he had a great opportunity to shine submitting a somewhat big name, and a fucking mosquito took him out?
I got dengue fever as a teen, damn that was shitty

That really sucks

 

[BrazilianDude]

Ew. Fuck mosquitos.

And the type that transmits dengue (aedes aegypti) is super aggressive during the day. I've been bitten multiple times, but fortunately never got the disease because the mosquito needs to be contaminated.
Every year there is an epidemic...

 

[Moneymma]

Kj deserves a step up,instead he got yan whothefuckishe and he gets injured and now he fights another cowboy. But this fight is better than cabral one for sure,cowboy was beating burns until that armbar. Brazilian cowboy is making cerrone proud with his short notice fights

 

[Goatenstein]

Dengue Fever was the Arona excuse for the Sokoudjou loss, for the old schoolers.

That was legit. Arona didn't hug men against a fence, he at least took them down to lay on them.

 

[MestizoIV]

oh, I hate when that happens

 

[SUBLIME FAN]

This is interesting

 

[Kowboy Karl]

Fight will be at 170

 

[Kalmah]

Third world injury/illness.
