This is a multi I love for tonight, combining some of my favourite fights on the card.

Ramazan Emeev by Points - Emeev is a terrific fighter who, at age 34, is reaching his go point to break into the UFC rankings. Emeev has a solid all-around game and excels when controlling his opponents on the mat. In 6 UFC fights, Emeev boasts a 5-1 record, with all six fights finishing by decision. Emeevs opponent Danny Roberts is also 34 but has reached the peak of his potential in the UFC. Roberts has been out of the ring for almost two years, which I always see as a worrying sign in an older fighter. Roberts should be able to hold his own on his feet with Emeev but will be outclassed on the mat, where Emeev will work over both Roberts and the judges.

Bruno Silva by KO/TKO - Silva was terrific in his UFC debut, defeating Wellington Turman in the first round. This is just a snippet of Silvas UFC potential with his extreme power and good fight IQ. Silva is on a five-fight win streak with 5 KO's and four in the first round. Silva's opponent Andrew Sanchez has been around the UFC for a few years but has never shown anything special. Sanchez has a 4-4 record in the UFC, with 3 of his losses coming by KO. We have seen the best of Sanchez's ability, but Silvas best looks yet to come.

Jim Miller by Sub - Jim Miller is a UFC veteran who has gone toe to toe with some of the greats, and there's a reason he's still around. Over the last few years, age has caught up to Miller, and he has struggled against the upper echelon of the division, but he has still held his own against lesser competition. Miller is on a 4-4 run where his losses have come against solid up and comers and the current division champion. Miller 4 wins during this time have all come via submission, where he is at his best on the mat. Miller's opponent, Erick Gonzalez, will be making his UFC debut which always brings nerves and an erratic game plan. In Gonzalez's five losses, he has been subbed twice and has shown a clear disadvantage when on the mat. Miller will play this fight to his strengths and get this fight to the mat early and often. The Wiley veteran will be too good for the rookie here.
