Jussier Formiga vs Ben Nguyen
This clash is one you cannot miss; Ben Nguyen, the man who has been on fire recently, destroying Tim Elliott in 49 seconds in his last fight, is going up against "The Ant" Jussier Formiga, the BJJ Black Belt who submitted the former Shooto champion Ulka Sasaki in a one-sided affair. Both men are fighting for a top 5 spot on the flyweight rankings, with Nguyen in 8th place and Formiga in 6th place.
Nguyen comes in as the striking specialist, and Formiga the submission specialist. Looking at the backgrounds of the two fighters, this is not really surprising, as Nguyen is a 3rd-degree black belt in Taekwondo, and has superb punching precision, and Formiga is a BJJ Black Belt, with a good hand in takedowns.
However, this does not mean that Nguyen is necessarily challenged at jiu-jitsu, or that Formiga is lacking in striking skills, as the former is a BJJ Brown Belt and has good takedown defence, and the latter has very powerful punches for a flyweight. This fight is sure to be a cracker.
