Super Saiyan meets Beast Mode on August 28th at Road to UFC 5, and this one's got serious fireworks written all over it. Taiyilake Nueraji just destroyed Kiefer Crosbie back in August with brutal ground elbows in the first round, landing 31 of 42 strikes at a nasty 74% clip before getting the finish. That southpaw power is legit scary. Darrius Flowers is riding high after sleeping Lando Vannata with ground and pound in round two this past April. The Chicago Fight Team product showed he's got that killer instinct, but his UFC run before that was rough.
- Nueraji's brutal ground elbows meet Flowers' ground and pound power
- Beast Mode looking to erase that three fight skid memory
- Southpaw angles could be the key for Super Saiyan
When either guy gets top position, the ground and pound comes fast and violent.
He dropped three straight, including getting submitted by Evan Elder and Jake Matthews, plus a decision loss to Michael Johnson. That's a tough stretch that had people wondering if he belonged. Here's the thing though. Flowers looked different against Vannata, more patient and powerful. But Nueraji's fresh off that violent finish and hasn't tasted a loss in the data we've got.
The southpaw angles from Super Saiyan could give Beast Mode problems, especially if this hits the mat. Flowers has been submitted twice in his last four, and Nueraji showed slick grappling control with over three minutes of cage time against Crosbie. This is a classic momentum fight. Flowers needs to prove that Vannata win wasn't a fluke, while Nueraji wants to keep his hype train rolling. Both guys finish fights when they get going.
