Hello everyone and welcome to 411mania’s LIVE coverage of UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkilld, I’m Robert Winfree and I’ll be your host. We’re back in the warehouse tonight and definitely have warehouse fights for the occasion. In general the events between UFC 329 and UFC 330 have been pretty weak. Last week we got a lot of finishes, which can be fun but that happened because a lot of mismatches were booked and frankly I don’t want regional level fights under the UFC banner. As for tonight we’ve got a quite good main event at least, longtime contender Mateusz Gamrot is trying to defend his spot against the rising young talent of Quillan Salkilld. Beyond that we’ve got two old battlers in the co-main event with Carlos Diego Ferreira vs. Billy Quarantillo, Darren Elkins is retiring after his fight with Yadier del Valle, and Alexia Thainara steps in to replace Denise Gomes against Amanda Lemos. None of that is super compelling but the prelims are kind of a wasteland of interest. So while there’s not much to get excited about on paper let’s hope the action delivers.

UFC Fight Night: Gamrot vs. Salkilld comes to the world from the Meta Apex facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. We’ve got a rare two man booth on commentary of Dan Hellie and Daniel Cormier, and frankly if you’ve only got a two man booth Cormier is one of the very last people I’d want in there. Charly Arnolt will handle roving reporter duties while Bruce Buffer is the announcer. We’ll be in the smaller 25 foot cage because of the warehouse but Nevada does use the new rules.

Gigi Canuto brings a three fight winning streak into her UFC debut, her entire career has been under the LFA banner which remains a reputable promotion at least. Now she’s trying to make the most of her only chance at a first impression, she’s here after losing on this season of TUF which is still airing. Carol Foro brings a seven fight winning streak into her UFC debut, she’s coming off of a Contender Series win but that was almost a year ago and now she’s finally getting to her actual UFC debut. Despite the layoff the odds like Foro at -225 to Canuto’s +185.

The Final Round Finish Club thanks Mr. Miller for his work, and is disgusted by the lengths the First Round Finish Club went to last week to keep them out of Serbia. Mic time for Miller, he was ready for the takedowns and overhand rights then with enough time he’d find the timing and get the finish. He didn’t think Goff would come out for the third round but he kept himself centered and got ready for the fight continuing. He talks us through the finish, puts over his team, then says he just wants bonuses instead of names. Well that always makes you less likely to get one but we’ll see how the last fights play out.

Amanda Lemos has a UFC record of 9-6 including a failed title fight, she’s just 1-3 in her last four fights though as is on a two fight losing streak.

Alexia Thainara is on a 12 fight winning streak including three UFC wins, she’s getting a step up in terms of name value at least here but a win would push her closer to the title picture.

Darren Elkins has been around the UFC for a surprisingly long time and has a handful of records to his name, but he’s taken an inadvisable amount of abuse during that time and has decided this will be his retirement fight. And really ending a win would be the best way for him to exit the sport. Yadier Del Valle is coming off of his first loss when he was out wrestled by Jordan Leavitt, he’s trying to avoid his first losing streak and remind everyone why he was a somewhat hyped up prospect in the division.

Mic time for Ferreira, he feels amazing and thanks God and his family. He’s 42 years old and really just wants to make sure his family can see what hard work can do for you. It is hard to do this at 42 but his team had his back. He was ready for everything in this fight and puts over his team for helping him do this. Asked about the future he would like to fight King Green or Jim Miller next. Both very reasonable names. He also wants to be in the UFC video game.
