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

Two April welterweight matchups needed to be changed because of injuries, and for the current MMA Odds and Ends I’ll give my thoughts on both new fights. 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 combat George Sullivan in UFC on FOX 15, which will be set for April 18 at Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. Means vs. Sullivan will broadcast live on UFC Fight Pass. If Means can keep this battle standing, I don’t see the way he loses. Sullivan is a decent striker for certain, however Means is among the very best in the welterweight division at blending in all of his limbs, and thus 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 could certainly sneak a determination about the judges’ cards, but Means has revealed amazing takedown defence at 170lbs and it’s going to be somewhat difficult for Sullivan to do that. Means is carrying this fight on short notice, and he’s a man who doesn’t get a good deal of love out of bettors, but I believe he has a really good shot here to knock Sullivan outside or win a determination and I am actually leaning towards Means to get the victory here, even thinking about the fact he is 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 within an all-Canadian affair. UFC 186 occurs April 25 at Bell Centre in Montreal, Quebec, Canada, and Clements vs. Taleb is famous for its Fight Pass first card card. Silva vs. Taleb was likely going to become a dull, grinding affair involving two men who like to push up their opponents against the fence before they gasoline out, in order with Clements in today in place of Silva there is a chance this might be entertaining. Clements, a striker, is always in enjoyable, back-and-forth standup bouts and when he can keep Taleb off of him, he will likely be able to stand in the center of the Octagon and hurt his foe. Taleb, though, is one of the men who sticks to his opponents like glue, and if he can push Clements up against the fence and property a few takedowns, he can win this battle based on his wrestling alone. As a result, the key for Clements is going to be to stop the takedowns, and when he continues to show developments in his wrestling just like he did in his last outing against Vik Grujic, where he stuffed the takedowns and outstruck his opponent, he can win. I anticipate Taleb to be a favorite here, however, don’t sleep even with the short notice.
