UFC 114 Preview: Luiz Arthur Cane vs. Cyrille Diabaté
Luiz Arthur Cane will square off against Cyrille Diabaté at the upcoming UFC 114 on May 29th. Luiz Cane has a chance to redeem himself after a poor showing against Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in his most recent fight.
Diabaté is a new fighter to the UFC and should present Luiz Cane with a good opportunity to bounce back from his most recent loss. This will be his first fight in the UFC, but he has had success in his other professional fighting. Diabaté has not lost a match since September 2006. He is an older fighter at 36, but is very skilled. This fight will be the first of the 4 fights that he signed up for in the UFC.
Cane, UFC 114 lines favorite, will take part in his 6th career UFC fight. In his previous 5 fights he has won 3 and lost two. His career record is 10-2-1. He loves to put people into submission early, ending the fight in the first round twice recently. He uses Muay-Thai in his fighting very effectively. Before losing his most recent match he had won 3 consecutive matches.
Diabaté is known for his kickboxing abilities. He also loves to put people into submission early, ending the fight in the first round twice recently.
Though Diabaté is new to the UFC, he is a veteran nonetheless. Don’t expect Diabaté to back down now that he has been promoted to this level of fighting. This fight looks to be a good one.
