CLEVELAND, Ohio – UFC 203 is this Saturday Night from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland and the card is stacked for the company’s first card in Championship City.
Much like we did with the massive UFC 200 card, we here at Neo Sports that it would be fun to break down the biggest matches on the card, one at a time. So let us begin!
The undercard on UFC Fight Pass will feature former UFC Ultimate Fighter Standout CB Dollaway as he takes on Francimar Barroso at Light Heavyweight. For Dollaway, this is his first go around at that weight class and he hopes it can turnaround his once promising career.
As mentioned, Dollaway was a standout on Season 7 of The Ultimate Fighter in June 2008, but was upset in the finals by Amir Sadollah. It was the first loss of his career in his seventh pro fight. He rebounded strongly from the defeat by winning two straight over the likes over Jesse Taylor and Mike Massenzio.
Since that mini win streak, is career has been up and down however, with some very big wins over the likes of Jason Miller and Franic Carmont but also some devastating losses to major names such as Mark Munoz, Lyoto Machida and Michael Bisping.
Dollaway has spent his entire career at Middleweight, but hopes the move to Light Heavyweight might be just the thing to get things pushed back in the right direction for him. He had lost three straight at Middleweight before this move.
Few people have ever heard of Francimar Barroso, but he has been a professional MMA competitor since 2004. He has a record of 18 – 5 and 3-2 in the UFC. He is looking for a signature win to get his name on the horizon of bigger things, CB Dollaway prevents that exact opportunity for him.
Official Pick – Dollaway makes a triumphant debut at Light Heavyweight with a decision victory.
