\"Cormier<\/a>
\nLast night on FOX Sports 1, expert UFC analysts, Kenny Florian and Daniel Cormier broke down this weekend’s main event between Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Ovince St. Preux.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

UFC TONIGHT Host Daniel Cormier on how Shogun Rua will look vs. Ovince Saint Preux: <\/span><\/b>\u201cI believe we\u2019ll see a good Shogun Rua. He\u2019s going to look like he did in the Dan Henderson fight. He looked pretty good in that one, and before that, he put a beating on James Te Huna. He has the ability to show his experience against a guy like OSP.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

UFC TONIGHT Host Florian on Shogun\u2019s last fight: <\/span><\/b>\u201cHe was landing his shots, doing everything he needed to do. But he lost his focus, got tired, and got hit with Dan Henderson\u2019s right hand. He\u2019s fighting smarter than he has in the past.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Cormier on Saint Preux getting moved to the main event:<\/span><\/b> \u201cOSP is being thrust into a bigger fight against Shogun than he had. That doesn\u2019t happen to guys who lost their last fight. He has a real big opportunity. His athleticism will carry him. The big gap between him and Shogun is his athleticism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Florian on Saint Preux<\/b>: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of room for him to improve. He needs to take that last lost against Bader and make improvements. This is the type of fight that will take you up a level.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Cormier also touched on Saturday’s co-main event between Ian McCall and John Lineker.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n
\n
\n

Cormier on Ian McCall vs. John Lineker<\/span><\/b>: \u201cJohn Lineker needs to press him and go forward. But it all starts at the scale. In his last fight he managed his weight and he fought the best we\u2019ve ever seen. He can\u2019t allow McCall to use footwork and speed, and he needs to cut off the angles and find McCall\u2019s body with big punches.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Cormier on McCall<\/span><\/b>: \u201cHe can wrestle, he can strike, he\u2019s fast and he has the confidence. He needs to use his wrestling, use his speed, drag Lineker down and wear him down. He needs to move and move like he\u2019s never moved before.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
