Two April welterweight matchups had to be changed due to accidents, and for today’s MMA Odds and Ends I will give my thoughts on both new struggles. Tim Means vs. George Sullivan, UFC on FOX 15 Due to an injury to Kenny Robertson, Tim Means will step in on short notice to combat George Sullivan at 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 in the welterweight division at blending in all of his limbs, and so if this fight stays standing he’s likely to win it. If Sullivan could get Means up against the fence and property some key takedowns, he can certainly sneak a determination on the judges’ cards, but Means has shown awesome takedown defence at 170lbs and it’s going to be somewhat hard for Sullivan to do this. Means is carrying this fight on short notice, and he’s a guy who doesn’t get a lot of love out of bettors, but I think he has a really good shot here to either knock Sullivan outside or acquire a decision and I’m actually leaning towards Means to find the success here, even considering the fact he’s taking it on short notice. Chris Clements vs. Nordine Taleb UFC 186 Claudio Silva is from his UFC 186 welterweight bout against Nordine Taleb and today Chris Clements will take on Taleb in an all-Canadian event. UFC 186 takes place April 25 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and Clements vs. Taleb is famous for the Fight Pass first card card. Silva vs. Taleb was probably going to become a dull, grinding affair involving two men who like to push up their opponents against the fence before they gasoline outside, in order with Clements in now instead of Silva there is a chance this might be entertaining. Clements, a striker, is always in enjoyable, back-and-forth standup bouts and if he can keep Taleb off of him, he’ll likely be able to stand at the middle of the Octagon and hurt his foe. Taleb, though, is one of those men that sticks to his rivals such as glue, and if he can push Clements up against the fence and land a few takedowns, he can win this fight according to his wrestling alone. As a result, the key for Clements will be to halt the takedowns, and when he continues to show developments in his wrestling like he did in his last outing against Vik Grujic, where he stuffed the takedowns and outstruck his competitor he could win. I anticipate Taleb to be a small favorite here, however, don’t sleep on Clements in this spot, even with the short notice.
