The pairing met previously in February 2014 at UFC 169 with Iaquinta winning the fight via unanimous decision. - Erik Koch was expected to face promotional newcomer Dwight Grant in a welterweight bout. However, Koch was removed from the card on November 28 for undisclosed reasons and replaced by Zak Ottow. - A women's flyweight bout between Jessica-Rose Clark and Andrea Lee was expected to take place at the event. However, Clark was forced out of the bout as she was hospitalized due to weight cutting issue and deemed medically unfit to compete by UFC physicians. As a result, the bout was cancelled.

He did pretty good vs Khabib tho, maybe has improved a lot after going 5 rounds with Khabib, however some say that Khabib wasn't being too serious about things that night which may be misleading for the expectations of this match.
I have Kevin Lee outstriking Iaquinta. I also had Barboza for a win and just saw he won. I haven't made any bets on this one tho. Title: Re: UFC on FOX 31: Lee vs Iaquinta 2 Prediction and Info Thread Post by: btc_angela on December 16, 2018, 09:25:01 AM It was a great match indeed. But Iaquinta prevailed once more over Kevin Lee. I thought Lee will also won and even their fight, but Iaquinta won't be deny because he is more aggressive and most of the time backing up Lee with his one-two punch combo, enough to get the nod of the judges for a UD.
Title: Re: UFC on FOX 31: Lee vs Iaquinta 2 Prediction and Info Thread Post by: tokeweed on December 16, 2018, 02:09:56 PM ^ Yup. It's back to the drawing board for Kevin Lee. He should have def done better being the more athletic fighter with longer reach. He needs to fix the holes in his game real badly if he wants to pick on the top 5 at LW.
Title: Re: UFC on FOX 31: Lee vs Iaquinta 2 Prediction and Info Thread Post by: cellard on December 17, 2018, 03:15:20 AM I haven't seen the fight yet but damn, maybe the one that deserves a title shoot the most is Al Iaquinta after all. It could be that his performance against Khabib was a serious one and he is pretty good.
I would like to see Khabib vs Ferguson next, then the winner gets Conor McGregor, but McGregor must fight someone on the meantime, maybe this could be Al Iaquinta? I mean Kevin Lee was in the talk for a McGregor fight, but after this Al Iaquinta makes more sense, specially since he fought Khabib too and did decent. Cowbow Cerrone was in the talks for the next McGregor fight tho.. as well as other names for a rematch.. so the question is, what makes the most sense for the next McGregor bout? the rest are pretty clear to me.

I agree. Conor vs Iaquinta makes sense for a lot of reasons. It will be a tailor fight made for Conor because Iaquinta loves to go striker and we all know that Conor still has a lot on this tank specially his left hand. A impressive win against Iaquinta will hype Conor again. And let Khabib vs Ferguson battered each other and winner get Conor. |
