POST-UFC FIGHT NIGHT 109: ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) was in Stockholm, Sweden for the fifth time in promotional history last Sunday (May 28, 2017) with UFC Fight Night 109: Gustafsson vs. Teixeira. It was a solid night of battles which saw six of 12 bouts finish by finish, and with the scraps today in our rear view, let’s look at that of the evening’s competitors we might no longer see in action within the Octagon…
ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK
Alex Nicholson
Nicholson lost via first-round TKO and happened on Jack Hermansson. He’s now on 1-3 in the UFC and a deficit inside the Octagon. Following the loss to Hermansson, I think there is a good chance that Nicholson will be receiving his walking papers from the promotion. In addition to his recent skid, he is also known to make headlines for reasons that were negative, and I believe the UFC will be pleased cutting ties . I see him becoming released, and I really don’t find him working his way back to the big display, despite being just 27 years old.
Chris Camozzi
Camozzi came up short in a unanimous-decision loss to Trevor Smith and is presently riding a three-fight losing streak in what is his third stint with the UFC. He was discharged after four successive losses last time and has dropped just three consecutive this time, but I think it’s more than likely that he will be receiving a pink slip from the advertising. I personally would like to watch him get a fourth shot for another time, but I have my doubts about it. Should he get published, I believe this time he’ll head to Bellator rather than the regional circuit in Colorado in hopes of working his way to a fourth UFC stint.
Nico Musoke
Musoke returned to take in Sweden on Bojan Velickovic in the front of the home crowd. He had been up on the judges’ scorecards en route to a conclusion victory using half a second left in the competition. That is when he was caught with a check right hook which staggered him, putting him on ice skates and enabling Velickovic to complete him. The reduction makes it two straight for the Swede, and he is now 1-3 in his last four years. I believe that it is 60/40 that he is going to be getting released from the UFC. I lean towards them giving him a third chance because he just returned from an extended layoff, was winning the struggle until becoming caught and the promotion could use him for European cards.
