Mike Massenzio vs. CB Dollaway at UFC 92 Actually a Re-Match of Sorts

From UFC.com:

Middleweight Mike Massenzio doesn’t have dreams and nightmares about the usual stuff. You know, boogeymen, creepy crawlies and teeth crumbling from one’s mouth (a personal favourite). That’s not to say Massenzio isn’t haunted, though.

Rather than anything supernatural, grotesque, absurd or flat-out ridiculous, Massenzio is haunted by the face of a man he once knew. A man he once wrestled even. Massenzio can’t escape the rugged features of ?The Doberman’.

…..

To explain, Massenzio and Dollaway have a history. Five years ago at the Junior College Nationals, Massenzio, then an unbeaten collegiate standout, saw his undefeated record snapped by the younger Dollaway.

The article goes on to talk more about Massenzio and Dollaway’s first match and both of their journeys to MMA, and about Massenzio’s first win in the UFC, over Drew McFedries (I called that one, by the way).

I think Massenzio is going to beat Dollaway. He has a better all-around game, and definitely better submissions than Dollaway has submission defense.

I think both fighters might actually try to stay away from their wrestling backgrounds and keep it standing, but eventually it will go to the ground, and I think that’s where Massenzio will gain the advantage.

Massenzio by sub, early in the 2nd.
