Hall takes his second fight in the UFC since losing the TUF 17 finale to underdog Kevin Gastelum. We move up to middleweight for a fight between two powerful knockout artists as Uriah Hall battles John “Doomsday” Howard. J-Lau takes this via RNC in the second and won’t need a transfusion afterwards. Johnson survives the first round, but after that Lauzon’s expertise will take over. This fight will eventually hit the ground and once there, Lauzon will do what he does best (besides bleeding all over the place). He does have solid wrestling, but not it’s not at a high enough level to stifle Lauzon’s submissions. The fact that six of Johnson’s eight career losses have come via submission does not bode well for “The Menace”. The Ultimate Fighter 12 runner-up, Johnson looks to bounce back from a two-fight skid after losing to Myles Jury and Reza Madadi. An always-exciting submission ace, Lauzon added another Fight of the Night bonus to his already record collection in a memorably bloody decision loss to Jim Miller at UFC 155. The main card kicks off in the lightweight division for Joe Lauzon and Michael Johnson. Joe Lauzon (22-8) vs Michael Johnson (13-8) The co main event of the night will be in the heavyweight division as equine enthusiast Alistair Overeem tries to redeem himself against Travis Browne. The main event takes place in the light heavyweight division as a former champion takes on the people’s champ when Mauricio “Shogun” Rua battles Chael Sonnen. To commemorate the event the UFC rolls into TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts for an event that will be bigger than that time that baseball team won some trophy. This weekend is the much anticipated debut of FOX Sports 1 network. That’s right boys and girls, it’s time for a Bostonian edition of the Downes Side! In solidarity with the fine people of the Athens of America, I wanted to do the entire column without using the letter r, but my editor thought that was, “wicked stupid.”
