Off the heels of a successful event for the UFCs debut on FOX Sports 1, the promotion is back at it again this Wednesday evening with UFC Fight Night 27. Discount Under Armour Shoes . A pivotal rematch in the welterweight division headlines the event, which has five Ultimate Fighter alumni on the main card. Once again Jordan Cieciwa and I go head to head in our picks this week and are aiming for a better result. My #TeamLynch prevailed on the last event going a lackluster 7 for 13 compared to #TeamJC who went 4 for 13. As always you can follow me (@LynchOnSports) or Jordan (@FitCityJordan) if you agree or disagree, also feel free to leave your opinions in the comment section below. Carlos Condit vs. Martin Kampmann Lynch: Former UFC interim welterweight champ Condit aims for redemption Wednesday night as he faces off with muay-thai specialist Kampmann. This is a rematch of their April 1st 2009 encounter back at UFC Fight Night 18, in which the Dutchman spoiled the promotional debut of the 29-year old Condit, winning a closely contested split decision. Both fighters badly need a win, as the Jackson/Winklejohn product is on a two-fight slide, while the Las Vegas resident is coming off a devastating first round knockout at the hands of Johny Hendricks at UFC 158. If Condit can follow the blueprint that Nate Marquardt, Paul Daley and of course Hendricks used in their victories against Kampmann, we could see a quick finish if the former WEC champ is able to connect early. However the later this fight goes, the more "The Hitman" becomes the favorite, as he is well known for outworking his opponents and earning late finishes (as per his wins over Thiago Alves and Jake Ellenberger). Despite all this, Condit should still win this fight as hes proven in his losses to St-Pierre and Hendricks that hes extremely difficult to finish. I think well see Condit play it safe throughout the fight, pick his shots and earn a unanimous decision victory. Condit via unanimous decision JC: Kampmann was all but forgotten it feels like after Hendricks knocked him out in under a minute. He was hot off the heels of three impressive wins. Now he finds himself staring at his biggest challenge and rematch since 2009, in Carlos Condit. Condit needs a win, and has the talent to finish what he started in 2009. In my opinion that fight was his and is another shining example of why fighters cant let judges decide their fate. Kampmann, although an excellent kickboxer, seems to be susceptible to the KO in big fights. Thats great news for Condit; hes got the complete game and should be able to finish this fight with a big punch or kick. There is no quit in Carlos Condit, he is always improving, and I truly feel he will be able to set up and land enough strikes to make the fight his, this time. As it did in 2009, this should go the distance, but be very exciting. Condit via unanimous decision Donald Cerrone vs. Rafael dos Anjos Lynch: In a matchup that will likely contend for "Fight of the Night" honors, former WEC title challenger Cerrone squares off with the Brazilian Dos Anjos. "Cowboy" is coming off an impressive victory over Strikeforce import K.J. Noons in which he brutalized the 30-year-old over three rounds to earn the judges decision. The Kings MMA fighter meanwhile is coming off a controversial victory against Evan Dunham, in which many pundits (including myself) thought the 31-year old was robbed by the judges. Despite the 28-year old being a black-belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu, Cerrone actually has more submission wins throughout his career with 13 (compared to 8 for Dos Anjos). With that said, the edge in this fight goes to Ceronne, who has more technical striking and I think well see that on display over the course of three rounds as hell have his hand raised for his second straight victory. Cerrone via unanimous decision JC: If you listen to the "Weigh In" on TSN 1290, youll know how big of a fan of Donald Cerrone I am. Hardest working guy in MMA, always takes the fight, and more often than not puts on a great show. With that said, Rafael Dos Anjos has strung together five impressive wins, beat some top competitors, and always brings a good fight. Dos Anjos has an amazing group of athletes to train with at Kings MMA, and I think he will be the better prepared fighter. Im expecting control to go to Dos Anjos, and he will take home a win. Dos Anjos via unanimous decision Kelvin Gastelum vs. Brian Melancon Lynch: A bout in which both fighters are looking for their second UFC victory, Ultimate Fighter 17 winner Gastelum takes on Strikeforce veteran Melancon. The 21-year old Gastelum is coming off an impressive upset win over TUF 17 tournament favorite Uriah Hall, which saw him effectively use his wrestling to grind out a decision. The Ricco Rodriguez trained Melancon had an equally impressive debut by knocking out TUF 11 alum Seth Baczynski at UFC 162. With 15 fights between the two of them, this will definitely be a showcase for the future of the welterweight division. Because of his superior wrestling, I see Gastelum having his hand raised at the end of this fight as he should effectively get the takedown numerous times over three rounds to emerge victorious. Gastelum via unanimous decision JC: The cast of the Ultimate Fighter have been looking a little weak as they come across higher ranking talent. Gastelum surprised a lot of people with his wrestling and win against Uriah Hall. That wrestling wont be enough to control Brian Melancon. His Strikeforce experience and last second win over Seth Baczynski (4:59 of the first) has me thinking this fight will go his way. These two need to put on a good show and convince fans and UFC management that they have what it takes to be in this welterweight division. The next fights for these two will be against the likes of Condit, Kampmann, Ellenberger and more. Its a tough division, and these two fighters need to up their game a lot to convince me they deserve to be talked about as contenders. Melancon via 3rd TKO Court McGee vs. Robert Whittaker Lynch: A pair of Ultimate Fighter tournament winners will be going to war, as TUF 11 champion McGee matches up against TUF Smashes winner Whittaker. The Pit fighter rebounded from a two-fight slide at UFC 157 in his welterweight debut, dominating Josh Neer over three rounds. Aside from losing to Costa Philippou at UFC on FX 2, McGee really should be 5-1 inside the octagon, as his other loss to Nick Ring at UFC 149 was extremely controversial. Physically both fighters are similar in height, but the 28-year old Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt does possess a five-inch reach advantage. Even with Whittaker finishing 10 of his last 11 victories, McGee should win this fight with his striking and his ability to grind out a grueling fight. McGee via unanimous decision JC: I dont know what it is about Court McGee, but I like him. Hes got some solid ground game, which he displayed in his first two wins in the UFC. I also really feel that he beat Nick Ring and should be further along than he is in his career. With that said, Whittaker at 22-years-old looks very impressive. He is well rounded, and ends fights with either punching power or submissions and control. This will be a very entertaining fight as both these fighters need to remain impressive if they want to stick around and move up the ladder. At 28, McGee is in his athletic prime, and I think that this fight will come down to how he uses that advantage. McGee will control the ground, and win a decision. McGee via unanimous decision Brad Tavares vs. Robert (Bubba) McDaniel Lynch: TUF 11 alum Tavares goes to war with TUF 17 alum McDaniel in a middleweight affair. Despite his lone blemish to Aaron Simpson at UFC 132, the Hawaiian has quietly amassed a 5-1 record in the 185lb division, and a statement win over a 27-fight veteran like McDaniel could propel him up the middleweight ladder. For the Jackson/Winklejohn product McDaniel, hes looking to prove that his successful UFC debut over Gilbert Smith wasnt a fluke. Its no secret Tavares has the edge in his standup, while the 30-year old is superior on the mat, with 16 submissions on his resume. Despite "The Menace" having a two inch height and one inch reach advantage, Tavares should win this fight as hes battled tougher competition and looked good doing so. The 25-year-old should find his range sometime in the second round and finish with the TKO victory. Tavares via second round technical knockout. JC: Bubba McDaniel has a ton of experience in the fight game. His resume is impressive in volume, but it lacks what Tavares has, high level UFC wins. Brad Tavares has some fairly impressive wins, and only has one loss. That loss was a decision to the "A Train" Aaron Simpson. This fight needs to stay standing for Tavares to utilize his edge in striking. That being said, there is no better place on the planet to practice your takedowns than at Jackson/Winklejohn academy. The best in the business come through there. If McDaniel takes this to the mat, it will get interesting. If not, it should be a very controlled stand up win for Tavares, and probably an exciting finish for the fans. Its Tavares time in the UFC that will get him the win.

WASHINGTON -- The Washington Redskins opened free agency not with the familiar Dan Snyder splash but instead with a few noteworthy ripples, keeping a couple of key players while adding an offensive lineman, a special teams standout and a No. 2 receiver. No Jairus Byrd or Aqib Talib landing via the teams owner private plane within hours of the official start of the NFLs annual open market. While there still could a blockbuster to come, the brain trust of general manager Bruce Allen and new coach Jay Gruden began by spreading the salary cap money around to plug as many holes as possible after a 3-13 season. Inside linebacker Perry Riley and receiver Santana Moss were re-signed with just hours to go before they were set to become free agents. Receiver Andre Roberts, guard Shawn Lauvao and linebacker Adam Hayward agreed to terms and are expected to sign their deals once theyve completed their physicals, according to people familiar with their deals who spoke on condition of anonymity because the contracts had not yet been signed. Cornerback Corey Graham and defensive end Antonio Smith were scheduled for visits to Redskins Park. Riley was the Redskins leading tackler from last season, and his return gives Washington a measure of stability in the heart of the defence. With longtime captain London Fletcher planning to retire, the Redskins faced the daunting task of replacing both inside linebackers in their 3-4 scheme had Riley signed elsewhere. Rileys deal is worth about $13 million over three years, including approximately $4.25 million in guaranteed money, according to a person familiar with the contract who spoke on condition of anonymity because the Redskins did not publicly release the financial details. A 2010 fourth-round pick who has started 40 consecutive games, Riley became the third Redskins defensive player to re-sign rather than test unrestricted free agency. Cornerback DeAngelo Hall and defensive lineman Chris Baker also have new deals, and outside linebacker Brian Orakpo is all but certain to return after receiving the franchise player tag last week. Gruden also opted to retain defensive co-ordinator Jim Haslett. Also coming back is Moss, who turns 35 in June and signed a one-year deal. He had 42 catches for 452 yards in 2013 as the teams No. 3 receiver and has accepted without complaint his reduced role over the last two seasons. He recently passed 10,000 yards receiving for his career, and 2014 will be his 10th season with the Redskins. Cheap Fake Yeezy Boost 350. While Moss will be back as the No. 3 wideout and Pierre Garcon as No. 1, Roberts is set to fill the No. 2 role being vacated by Joshua Morgan, who is now a free agent. Roberts, who has played four seasons with the Arizona Cardinals, had 43 receptions for 471 yards and two touchdowns last year. His best season was 2011, when he had 64 catches for 759 yards and five touchdowns. A person familiar with Roberts deal said it has a base value of $16 million over four years with $8 million guaranteed, including a $4 million signing bonus, and that the deal could be worth up to $17.35 million with incentives. The person said Roberts is scheduled to take his physical Wednesday and then sign his deal. The person spoke to the AP because the terms of the deal had not been announced. Lauvao represents the first move in Grudens plan to upgrade an offensive line in charge of protecting franchise quarterback Robert Griffin III. A third-round draft pick in 2010, he has played four seasons with the Cleveland Browns, mostly at right guard. Chris Chester has been the Redskins right guard for three seasons, and Lauvaos arrival could lead to a shuffling of a unit that allowed 43 sacks last year. Lauvaos deal is worth $17 million over four years, according to ESPN. The Redskins kick and coverage units were among the worst in recent NFL history last year, so Hayward was a natural target after his work on special teams over seven seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He agreed to a three-year contract, according to a person familiar with the deal, and he is expected to sign Wednesday. Graham and Smith will have to be courted in person before they agree to a deal, with both set to visit the Redskins practice facility. Graham, who has played the last two seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, could compete with second-year player David Amerson for the starting cornerback position opposite Hall. Smith, who had five of his 41 1/2 career sacks last year with the Houston Texans, would fill another need. While theyve been one of the NFLs most active free agency teams in 15 years under Snyder, the Redskins were quiet the last two seasons because of a $36 million salary cap penalty imposed by the NFL for the way the contracts were restructured during the 2010 uncapped year. Now they have money, but they have lots to do. Even if they sign Graham and Smith, they would still need a pair of starting safeties, a linebacker to replace Fletcher and probably a right tackle.
