Combat Press Mid-Week Report – Sept. 16, 2014

Welcome, once more, to the Combat Press Mid-Week Report!This week, staff writers Eric Reinert and Riley Kontek will recap the action from UFC Fight Night: Bigfoot vs. Arlovski 2 and preview this weekend’s UFC Fight Night: Hunt vs. Nelson event, as well as provide some analysis from last week’s debut episode of The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned.

Where can Andrei Arlovski expect to find himself among the UFC’s heavyweights after his convincing win over Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in Brazil, and can he advance further in the division? How about whichever of the two headlining big men emerges victorious from this weekend’s Fight Night card? How did the first episode of TUF 20 compare to our expectations, and can the UFC find a way to boost the show’s ratings?

We’ll answer these questions and much more on this episode of the Combat Press Mid-Week Report!
