UFC July 19th Fight Night- Facts and Rumors

Its official. July 19th at the Pearl in Nevada at 6pm PT / 9pm ET on Spike TV Live we will get to see absolutely FREE a HUGE FIGHT CARD

On June 17th we announced the fight between Silva and Irvin, and you can catch up by clicking here.

On June 18th we covered the other 2 headliners. Vera vs Andy and Franca vs Edgar, and you can catch up by click here.

4 more fights have also been added, and 1 extreme rumor. Which do you want first?

In the welterweight division Anthony Johnson will be facing Kevin Burns. Johnson is 2-1 in the UFC having won both fights in the 1st round by Knock Out. Burns had his UFC debut at Bedlam on June 7th winning by Choke over Roan Carneiro.

Prediction: Burns over Johnson by submission. While I haven’t seen enough of Wells Fargo very own Kevin Burns none of his fights have gone to a decision.

Also at welterweightt, Brodie Farber will face Rory Markham. This will be Frabers first fight in the U.S. since May 2006. His last 6 fights were all wins, and all in Mexico. At 15-4, Markham and Faber will certainly provide an entertaining fight. They both can win on the ground or with strikes.

Prediction: In their UFC debut, Markham out of Miletich should come up short to Farber by strikes.

Finally at welterweight we will see James Giboo versus Brad Blackburn. Giboo fighting out of Iowa has won his last 6 fights submitting his opponents by strikes and chokes. Blackburn on the other hand has had an up and down career batting just over .500. His last win was in June of 2007 over Jay Hieron.

Prediction: Giboo should win easily with a TKO.

At Lightweight Dale Hartt will face Shannon Gugerty. Gugerty and Hartt finish off the list of UFC newcomers booked for Fight Night 14. Both have won their last few fights and should bring some entertainment to the undercards.

Prediction: Gugerty KO Victory.

Also at middleweight we should have the pleasure of seeing Jesse Taylor and CB Dollaway bang it out on a fight we missed out on because of Amir’s victories over Dollaway. While its only a rumor now, it is being reported by Fighthype that less that a month after he was supposed to fight Amir Sadollah Taylor will be entering the Octagon against the Doberman.

July 19th will definitely be loaded for our viewing pleasures.
