Chuck “The Iceman” Lidell vs Rich “Ace” Franklin Lidell’s Strengths: KO Power. Has knocked out a lot of fighters. Takedown defense, footwork, very good at avoiding being hit over his career, while less so in his last few fights.

Bellator Fighting Championships June 10th Hollywood, Florida Toby Imada vs Pat Curran The crafty veteran Toby Imada is taking on hard punching Pat Curran.

Ikuhisa Minowa vs Imani Lee Minowa via ankle lock. Yet again. Norifumi Yamamoto vs Federico Lopez Kid Yamamoto gets back on the winning train here. Kazushi Sakuraba vs Ralek Gracie I don’t think Ralek brings enough to beat the “Gracie Hunter” despite being old at this point. Sakuraba wins. Yoshiro Maeda vs Kenji Osawa I [...]

ANDREI ARLOVSKI vs ANTONIO SILVA Firstly there are way too many “The Pitbull’s” in mma, but Arlovski has been with that nickname for years going way back in the UFC.
