MMAjunkie lead staff reporter John Morgan makes a stop at Cleveland’s Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Museum to recap all of the day’s pre-fight action.

“I’m excited to give back in any way that I can, and anybody who’s going to be wearing that shirt is going to believe in me, but also, believe in a cure for people who need that belief”.
And if you want to cheer somebody from this neck of the woods, Northmor graduate C.B. Dollaway is booked to fight Fancimar Barroso on the UFC Fight Pass preliminaries. After B.J. Penn and Caol Uno fought to a draw in a bout for the vacant title at UFC 41, the division was put on ice for a couple years.
Until he’s in the trenches with seasoned warriors such as Velasquez and Overeem, a dark cloud of doubt will hang over the head of the current heavyweight king, and Saturday’s headliner offers Miocic an opportunity to erase some of that doubt.
Steve owns a limousine service, and will be on call September 10 monitoring his drivers.
Okay, but why should I care?
As for Kathy skipping the fight at The Q, it’s simple. Both of these fighters are similar in their style and toughness. “If you think anything but that, it doesn’t matter how hard you’ve trained because you’ve already lost”. “It’s an empowering feeling, and I feel there’s no better female to have on the card than Cleveland’s very own Jessica Eye”. A quick knockout of Stefan Struve changed his fortunes and triggered a four-fight winning streak that has culminated in this title shot.
Throughout a lengthy and successful career that has seen him win just about every major MMA title outside the UFC, Overeem believes he has gained enough experience to deal with anything a rowdy OH crowd can dish out. It has taken 21 months since the time he signed with UFC to get CM Punk into a ring, and it’s hard to imagine the UFC would give him an opponent whose style would pose problems.
And seeing her husband getting hurt in the octagon never gets any easier for Ryan Miocic, who recently married reigning UFC Heavyweight Champion Stipe Miocic. I can then get a rematch with him or Alistair Overeem. Whether it’s Stipe or Alistair, I don’t know. The 34-year-old Miocic is known for his heavy hands (11 of his 15 pro wins have been by KO/TKO), but that doesn’t worry Overeem.

Former WWE champion CM Punk is a +300 underdog in his UFC debut against Mickey Gall, who is a -400 favorite entering their welterweight match. “I’m part of the fight”. Both guys are coming off losses, but the fight still has a lot of intrigue to it. Werdum is fresh off a title loss to Miocic, so he needs to bounce back here to get back to the title level.
