MMA ODDS AND ENDS FOR THURSDAY: TWO APRIL INJURY REPLACEMENT BOUTS ANNOUNCED

Two April welterweight matchups needed to be switched due to injuries, and also for the current MMA Odds and Ends I will give my thoughts on both new struggles. Tim Means vs. George Sullivan, UFC on FOX 15 Because of an injury to Kenny Robertson, Tim Means will step in on short notice to battle George Sullivan in UFC on FOX 15, which is set for April 18 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Means vs. Sullivan will broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass. I don’t see the way he loses if this fight standing can be kept by Means. Sullivan is a good striker for certain, however Means is among the very best at the welterweight division at blending in all his limbs, and so if this struggle stays standing he’s likely to win it. If Sullivan could get Means up against the fence and land some vital takedowns, he can definitely steal a decision about the judges’ cards, but Means has revealed awesome takedown defence at 170lbs and it’s going to be somewhat difficult for Sullivan to do this. Means is taking this fight on short notice, and he’s a man who doesn’t get a good deal of love out of bettors, however I think he’s a great shot here to either knock Sullivan out or win a determination and I’m really leaning towards Means to get the victory here, even thinking about the fact he’s carrying it on short notice. Chris Clements vs. Nordine Taleb UFC 186 Claudio Silva is from the UFC 186 welterweight bout against Nordine Taleb and now Chris Clements will take on Taleb in an all-Canadian affair. UFC 186 takes place April 25 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and Clements vs. Taleb is slated for its Fight Pass preliminary card. Silva vs. Taleb was likely going to become a boring, grinding affair involving two men who like to push their opponents up against the fence before they gasoline out, in order with Clements in now in place of Silva there is a chance this could be entertaining. Clements, a striker, is in enjoyable, back-and-forth standup bouts and if he can keep Taleb from him, he will likely be able to stand in the center of the Octagon and hurt his foe. Taleb, however, is one of those men who sticks to his opponents like glue, and when he can push Clements up against the fence and property a few takedowns, he could win this fight according to his wrestling alone. As a result, the key for Clements will be to stop the takedowns, and if he continues to show improvements in his wrestling just like he did in his last outing against Vik Grujic, where he stuffed the takedowns and then outstruck his competitor he could win. I expect Taleb for a small favorite here, however, don’t sleep even with the short notice factoring in.
