This is Part Three of our seven-story series leading up to Eye’s bantamweight bout against Correia at UFC 203 in Cleveland Saturday night. It’s not uncommon. It seems a card to manage a lot a more hype and attention these days needs to have the interest of a Conor McGregor or a Ronda Rousey.

Here is the complete UFC 203 schedule.
Hallie Yavitch, who works for “The Q”, is responsible for booking events arena and worked closely with UFC, said the biggest problem in the past was scheduling a UFC event that did not conflict with Cavaliers games or any other local events requiring “The Q”.
The card is headlined by the hometown hero Stipe Miocic as he defends his heavyweight championship against Alistair Overeem.
Miocic promises he won’t make the same mistake. Then he failed a drug test for high testosterone levels and forced to sit out with a suspension.
The defeat continued an inconsistent pattern for Browne – he’s traded wins and losses since a dominant defeat at the hands of Fabricio Werdum in April of 2014. So whatever he wants to do or whatever he wants to think, he isn’t going to win. Werdum won the fight by decision. Everywhere I go I bring a coach with me.
Despite all that, Overeem has been looking good lately.
The odds are with him in the sense that UFC titles are changing hands just about every time. “With much more cage experience than Miocic and with his confidence soaring, he may just dethrone the champ”, the analyst said of one-time Manila visitor Overeem, who boasts of a 41-14 record.
Miocic has always been a good fighter and a solid athlete.
“He has put in the time, and now it’s time to fight”. He knocked out both champions in the first round. Brown has lost three of his last five.
Miocic vs. Overeem from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland. Browne has been hot and cold as of late. He is coming off a TKO loss to Cain Velasquez at UFC 200 in July.
“Nothing is going to get in the way”, said Miocic. This is still a highly relevant title bout.
This is a really tough one for CM Punk in my opinion.
CM Punk has moved over from wrestling (Getty)4. But it’s still an inexperienced fighter who has no athletic or amateur combat sport background.
Jessica Andrade will be facing off against Joanne Calderwood in a clash of the strawweights. His opponent has been in the UFC for a little over a year but has an absurdly long 19-match winning streak in professional MMA fights. “It will be a great fight, but I’m going to walk out [and hear], ‘And still, ‘ with the belt wrapped around my waist”.
Ryan is a nurse, so she says she looks at the action through a different lens, analyzing the blows he’s taking during a fight. He simply has been unable to take home the UFC title. This fight could either be Rivera’s breakout performance that sets him up as a made man in the UFC, or it could be Urijah Faber showing that he can still hang at the top level and can still dispatch younger, competitive prospects. I’ve got obligations, but I’ve been training all the time.
