On last night’s edition of RecapRadio hosts Brent Todd and John Petit talked to Bellator 60 debuting fighter Jake Nauracy, broke down and predicted the UFC on Fuel TV 1 card and talked about the fallout from Nick Diaz’s positive drug test.

At the start of the show we discussed several mma cards that were seen this weekend due to the lack of a UFC card on tv. John watched something like 40+ mma fights between all the different shows, at one point even watching a stream from an iPhone pointed at a tv in Brazil. Brent meanwhile discussed the Babes and Brawls atmosphere and how the venue was actually one of the better local venues for fights to be held in.

Jake Nauracy called in and we discussed with him his thoughts on his opponent Cory Galloway and how it was difficult to actually get an opponent to fight him at the event. Nauracy went on to talk about his size, his weight cut, and his amateur record.

After Nauarcy it was time to break down the UFC on Fuel TV 1 card. Both of us picked T.J. Dillashaw to win a unanimous decision over Walel Watson; mainly due to the fact that there isn’t much tape we can watch on either opponent.

We were split on the Stipe Miocic versus Philip De Fries fight as Brent had De Fries winning by submission and John had Miocic winning by TKO.

Both of us expect Aaron Simpson to lose the first round of his three-round fight against Ronny Markes, but then we see Simpson winning rounds two and three to earn a unanimous decision. We agreed that Simpson has done this in the past and that he is a slower starter than other fighters.

The co-main event was a bit of a debate as Dave Herman came in the betting favorite over Stefan Struve. Brent picked Herman to win by TKO in the first round, while John said Struve would win by submission in the second. The best summation of the fight was that if it ended in the first round, Herman would likely be declared the winner, if it ended in the second or third Struve would, and if it went to a decision, it was going to be one marred in controversy.

The main event provided much less debate as both predicted Ellenberger to win by unanimous decision. It is hard to look past what Ellenberger did to Shields and Sanchez seems like an easier target than Shields did.

After the breakdown of UFC on Fuel the big topic that came about from last week was Nick Diaz’s failed drug test. He tested positive for marijuana and we both agreed on one thing. Regardless of your stance on the drug, it is against the rules to test positive for it and thus he broke the rule. It was argued a bit about how severe of a punishment Diaz will be given, being that this is his second infraction.
