3 Aussies, one night, the biggest MMA organization in the world. No, not a dream its happening! This Thursday morning, Ben Alloway, Dylan Andrews and TUF smashes winner Robert Whittaker all fight on the UFC's, Fight Night Condit vs Kampann 2 in Indianapolous.
For TUF winner Whittaker this is a real chance to show he truly is a rising star. Actually the truth of it is, we all know he is a rising star its a matter of when he makes a significant impact on the stacked Welterweight division. He faces UFC veteran Court McGee, who is also a TUF winner, and this is definitely his toughest fight yet. Rob has serious knockout power in his hands and his wrestling strengths are probably not yet recognised for being as good as they are. He is the underdog coming into the bout, but all Aussies love the underdog tag, that's when we bite hardest!
Dylan 'The Villain' Andrews was also a competitor on The Ultimate Fighter, only his exit from the series came at the hands of the most dominant contestant the show has produced. Dylan gained admirers from all around the globe by requesting to face Uriah Hall, in the semi finals of the series, and his determination and heart in the fight were praised by the likes of UFC president Dana White. His kicked off his UFC career with a knockout of Jimmy Quinlan. This week he comes up against Papy Abedi, who is coming off a victory late last year, but probably needs this victory to stay on the books with the UFC. Andrews, who is originally from New Zealand, will once again be looking for the knockout victory and his heavy hands should provide us with some action!
Benny 'Blanco' or 'Aussie Gangster' Alloway, gets another chance to prove himself after a unanimous decision loss to Ryan LaFlare in Sweden last year. Ben entered his last fight with a leg injury that hampered his preparations, but his training this time around looks to have him primed and ready for a W against Zak Cummings. Training with Marc Fiore, legendary trainer of hall of famer Matt Hughes, will have stepped up Benny's wrestling skills and like most Aussies the power in the hands comes naturally, so get amped. 'Blanco' is back! He has one knockout victory to his name already and a determined Ben will be adding yet another tick to the winning column come this Thursday.
From MMAAus all the best to the boys this week! The country is behind you! Go AUSSIE!
