That's right boys and girls, it's time for the first of three straight Downes Sides! I can't promise you it will be as good as "Star Wars: A New Hope," but at least it won't be like the "Matrix" franchise.
Usually on the first day of a three day festival, you try to take it easy. Fortunately for fight fans, the UFC has the same attitude I did for Lollapalooza 2006 -- you go hard. Live from The Chelsea inside The Cosmopolitan Hotel in Las Vegas, strawweights Rose Namajunas and Paige VanZant compete for a top spot in the division. In the co-main event of the evening, Jim Miller and Michael Chiesa fight for a spot on the crowded 155-pound ladder. Bring plenty of water, it's fight time!
ROSE NAMAJUNAS VS. PAIGE VANZANT
Time for the main event! A finalist on "The Ultimate Fighter 20," Namajunas has a lot of expectations on her. An accomplished, dynamic striker, all her career wins have actually come via submission. If there's any 115-pound fighter with more pressure on her than Rose, it's VanZant. The Team Alpha Male fighter may have a lot of expectations, but she's lived up to them so far. Undefeated inside the Octagon, her aggression and relentless offense have treated her well.
