Malcolm "The Machine" Wellmaker is looking to bounce back after a rough stretch. The switch stance bantamweight out of Faglier's MMA has been through the wringer lately, dropping back to back fights. First, Ethyn Ewing took him to a decision at featherweight last November, then Juan Diaz caught him with a rear naked choke in round two this past May. But here's the thing, before those losses, Wellmaker was absolutely terrifying. He starched Cameron Saaiman in under two minutes with a brutal punch, then did the same thing to Kris Moutinho just two months later.
- Wellmaker hunting for knockout power after back to back losses
- Tanzilovi making second UFC walk after tough debut decision
- Two first round finishes show what The Machine can do
If Wellmaker's going to get it done, expect fireworks early when his power is freshest and most dangerous.
That's two first round knockouts in a row, both guys getting slept before the fight even got started. Otari Tanzilovi is stepping in with way less UFC experience. The Georgian orthodox fighter just made his debut in June and got outworked by Shane Collins over three rounds. All three judges had it 30 to 27 against him. Collins landed the cleaner shots and controlled the grappling, racking up over four minutes of control time.
Tanzilovi showed he could hang for fifteen minutes and landed 74 strikes with decent accuracy, but he couldn't get anything going that mattered. This matchup is all about whether Wellmaker can rediscover that knockout power that made him so dangerous. When he's on, dude finishes fights fast and violently. Tanzilovi's durability is proven after eating shots from Collins for three rounds, but Wellmaker hits different than what he's seen. The Machine needs this win badly to stop the slide and remind everyone why those early stoppages had people hyped.
