12/30/2016

By RJ Marceau

​Tonight is the last UFC PPV in 2016 and it should be a good one. The UFC has had a ton of title changes, great fights and marquee cards. UFC 207 had a great main card before Cain Velasquez had to withdraw from his fight with Fabricio Werdum due to a back injury. It’s now a 3-fight main card but I will preview these three bouts.

​Oney Lorcan def. Andrade "Cien" Almas

As I've said before, Almas has really settled nicely into his new role and he is definitely much more comfortable as a heel. Him coming out in a mask was a cool touch and I wish he would do that on television if he isn't going to wear it during his matches. Lorcan has always been an excellent worker, so it didn't surprise me in the slightest that this was an awesome match, especially down the stretch. Lorcan tends to win on live events it seems, and I would love to see that same success translate on TV. He deserves more than enhancement talent status.


Billie Kay and Peyton Royce def. Liv Morgan and Aliyah

I had a feeling this match would be medicore based off who was involved, but it actually wasn't that bad. All four women are still works in progress, but thankfully this didn't drag on and didn't go past the ten minute mark. Morgan continues to rack up losses, but it's obvious they're building up Kay and Royce to be threats to the NXT Women's Championship in the near future.

​Jeremiah Crane def. Mil Muertes

This could have been an excellent David vs. Goliath style matchup with more time, and while it certainly was fun while it lasted, the match itself was hardly memorable because it was cut short by several minutes. Crane scored the upset victory, but will he really benefit from it considering all of the focus was on the returning Prince Puma? I honestly thought Puma's loss in Grave Consequences spelled the end of him in Lucha Underground because he has since legitimately left the promotion (this was taped at the onset of 2016), but I suppose he might be sticking around for the remainder of the season. Either way, I'm not sure what else they could do with the Puma vs. Muertes rivalry considering they've already faced off in Grave Consequences, which typically blows off feuds.


Jack Evans and PJ Black def. Son of Havoc and Angelico

I read a while ago Angelico was injured during the tapings, but I thought that was why he was out for so long before? It's a tough break (no pun intended) for Angelico given how much momentum he's had in recent weeks and had a ready-made feud with The Worldwide Underground, so fingers crossed he isn't out for long. The match before the injury was great as expected with all four guys working very well together.

​Will Ospreay def. Bobby Fish to Win the ROH World Television Championship

Aside from Final Battle earlier this month, I haven't seen too much of Ospreay's work, but from what I've seen so far, he never ceases to impress me with what he can do in the ring. The guy is absolutely incredible. Granted, he focuses a bit too much on executing sweet spots rather than telling a story, but it's hard to complain when he's so damn fun to watch. He and Fish work two very different styles, yet this was still a good match for the time it was allotted. I still say Fish losing the TV title should have been a bigger deal. Sure, it was a cool moment and especially for those in attendance to witness a shocking title change, but Fish held that belt for so long that it should have been a bigger deal. That said, it did make Ospreay a star from the get-go in his Ring of Honor debut.


ROH World Tag Team Champions The Young Bucks def. Will Ospreay and Marty Scurll

You can't go wrong with Ospreay and Young Bucks in the same match, and Scurll is a star himself. This was a wild matchup and a total spotfest, but in the best way possible. I couldn't even begin to recap everything that went down, but it was a blast to watch unfold. I really liked how the tension teased between Ospreay and Scurll led to the two facing off against each other for the TV title at the subsequent show.
