The X Factor: When Uno fights with his head on straight, he’s one of the toughest fighters in the division to beat but, we’ve seen him get too caught up in his desire to have exciting matches and pay for it dearly. The image of Uno getting his cranium caved in by Joachim Hansen in the closing moments of a bout Uno appeared to be winning stands as the ultimate testament to his self destructive tendencies. Considering Fisher’s credentials as a bomber par excellence and frenetic fighting style, he may be just the guy to draw Uno into a losing battle.
The Bottom Line: It’s hard not to like Spencer Fisher, the guy wears his heart on his sleeve and when given a willing opponent, his fights are like watching “The Matrix” on acid. However, he just doesn’t have the wrestling to beat guys like Uno who thrive on the mats and have the tenacity to force the issue. It won’t be easy for the Japanese standard bearer as Fisher excels at creating scrambles and getting out of hairy situations but, that will only get Fisher the short end of a unanimous decision.
