Josh Grispi vs Diego Nunes WEC 37 fight likely Dec. 3
Josh "The Fluke" Grispi (9-1) will face off against Brazilian Diego Nunes (10-2) in a featherweight bout on the WEC 37 card at the Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada, on December 3, according to InTheGuard.tv.
"The Fluke" is currently riding a seven-fight win streak, including his most recent first round destruction of Micah Miller at WEC 35. In fact, each of his nine career wins have been ended in the first frame (five by (T)KO and four by submission).
The Boston area fighter is among the WEC's youngest and brightest up-and-coming stars. At only 19 years old he's already developed into a very dangerous mixed martial artist and he still has a world of potential in front of him.
This will be his third fight in the WEC cage. He previously defeated Mark Hominick with a first round rear naked choke at WEC 32 and Miller at WEC 35 by technical knockout.
Nunes is part of team Nogueira in Brazil. He trains day in and day out with some of the best mixed martial artists in the world. He's mainly competed on the smaller level events in Brazil, but appears ready for his first big stage fight in the WEC.
Like his opponent, he too has demonstrated the ability to end fights quickly. Of his 10 wins only one made it into the second round. And that was the first fight of his career ... more than four years ago.
This will be a high paced fight that more than likely won't see the final bell. Both guys will be looking to finish the other early which should make for an exciting scrap.
Miguel Torres will defend his bantamweight title against Manny Tapia on the card as well. That bout will more than likely be the event's headliner.
WEC 37 will air live on the Versus network beginning at 9 p.m. ET on December 3. Stay dialed in to MMAmania.com for more news and information on WEC 37.

I actually think Nunes is going to dominate this fight and win by submission

should be a good fight. on another note gsp/penn is now being talked about having a 24/7 show ala maywether/delahoya on hbo, instead of couture/lesnar on spike. i hope they have it for both events b/c i really liked both 24/7’s with hatton/floyd and oscar/floyd. maybee they are giving up on couture/lesnar being thwe biggest mma fight ever and pushing for gsp/penn 2, wich really is the most anticipated ufc fight ever imo.

I agree about GSP/Penn 2. I think the Lesnar/Couture card needs 1 more huge fight, but it doesn’t look like that will happen. Right now the UFC site has Gonzaga, Amir, and Florian on the TV portion. I assume Quarry/Maia will finish it off. That will not be the biggest ever, gauenteed!
Now with the Dublin card I think this will be the first time ever we have 2 PPV in 1 month. I can’t miss either so I will find a way. But how may people will, especially right after x-mas?

Actually, there have been a couple of times where the UFC has put on 2 PPVs in one month… nevermind, they have had events and actual UFC cards twice in a month before, but never PPVs. I was thinking UFC 75 and 76 in September last year, and UFC 69 and 70, but 70/75 wasn’t really a PPV. June, September and April last year all had 3 events in a month, most of which was one PPV and 2 UFNs or TUF Finales or free PPVs.

What about UFC 89 & 90. Both in October.

Yea those 24/7 shows were bada** They really helped to get into the fights! It would be good if the UFC did those for Lesnar/Couture and GSP/Penn. I want to see more of their workouts!

24/7 is what helpe maywether/oscar sell over 2 mil ppvs. without it i think it would have only done half that.

Grispi is a monster. The kid has vicious knockout power in his hands and feet. Plus he has a solid ground game. I can definitely see him winning this fight.

Grispi is going to absolutely destroy this guy. KO round 1

Diego looks great but no one has seen Grispi when he is on the ground.The nickname the fluke came from a coach of one of the guys Grispi knocked out in seconds.The guy says it was a fluke even though the kid is 12-1 they still say it .
