BISPING: Barnett Needs to Push the Pace Vs. Nelson
FS1 UFC TONIGHT Show Quotes – 9/23/15 BISPING: Barnett Needs To Push The Pace Vs. Nelson Florian: “Uriah Hall Is Too Dangerous To Just Stand and Trade With” LOS ANGELES – UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian and guest host Michael Bisping break down the upcoming FS1 UFC FIGHT NIGHT: BARNETT VS. NELSON. Karyn Bryant and Ariel Helwani add reports. UFC TONIGHT guest host Michael Bisping on how Josh Barnett can beat Roy Nelson: “Josh needs to not get hit by the right hand of Roy. He needs to push the pace of the fight, move forward, and push Roy up against fence and brutalize him with knees and elbows like he did with Frank Mir. Most of his finishes came from the clinch position. He finishes fights against the fence. He did that against Frank Mir.” UFC TONIGHT host Kenny Florian on Barnett avoiding Nelson’s knock out power: “Josh doesn’t want to be on the outside where Roy’s right hand can get him. He wants to be on the inside. He’s been busy on the submission circuit. He’s dangerous on the mat and that’s where he wants to get Roy.” Bisping on how Nelson should fight Barnett: “What Roy can’t get is predictable. If he just tries to throw the big right hand, Barnett is going to see it coming. Roy has to mix up his striking. I’m not sure he’s going to go for takedowns. But he has to mix his striking. His right hand and left hooks, to keep Josh at bay.” Florian on Nelson mixing up his strikes: “The knock on Nelson is his lack of evolution.

UFC FIGHT NIGHT on FOX Sports 1 with 1.78-Million Viewers – a Feat That the Charismatic Irishman Mcgregor Hopes to Top
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Thursday, Jan. 8, 2015 UFC® FIGHT NIGHT ON FOX SPORTS 1: MCGREGOR VS. SIVER FEATURES BATTLE OF TOP-RANKED FEATHERWEIGHTS Former Lightweight Champ Frankie Edger Makes Analyst Debut With Cormier and Melendez; Rogan and Goldberg Call Fights Three Specials Highlight Rising Star McGregor LOS ANGELES – FOX Sports 1 presents UFC® FIGHT NIGHT ON FOX SPORTS 1: MCGREGOR vs. SIVER on Sunday, Jan. 18 (10:00 PM ET), headlined by a clash of top-ranked featherweights, as No. 5 Conor McGregor (16-2) battles No. 10 Dennis Siver (22-9, 1NC). This highly anticipated bout caps off more than six hours of live coverage on FOX Sports 1 that evening. The UFC returns to Boston a little over a year after the record-setting UFC FIGHT NIGHT: SHOGUN vs. SONNEN, which featured the brash, trash talking light heavyweight Chael Sonnen defeating the former champion Shogun Rua with a surprise submission victory. Currently that show stands as the most-watched UFC FIGHT NIGHT on FOX Sports 1 with 1.78-million viewers – a feat that the charismatic Irishman McGregor hopes to top. McGregor (16-2, fighting out of Dublin, Ireland) has quickly climbed the ranks of the featherweight division with an undefeated record in the UFC that includes three first-round knockouts. A win over Siver (22-9, 1NC, fighting out of Mannheim, Germany) will see him rewarded with a title shot in 2015. To get past the 18-fight UFC veteran who has collected seven “Fight Night” bonus awards along the way, McGregor needs to be firing on all cylinders.
