Fight Week: UFC 150

UFC 150 is on this week from Denver, Colorado.

The main event is a lightweight title rematch between Benson Henderson and Frankie Edgar. Edgar lost his title to Smooth when the first fought in UFC 144 6 months ago. A good title fight in my book because both guys are really top of their game. Both have strong wrestling background however Ben is the bigger of the 2 and is far more athletic. Frankie however has the heart and the foot speed and movement to match his lionheart. I dare not make any predictions but I want to pose a question, what's next for Frankie if he loses? dropping down to featherweight I presume?

The co-main event of the evening would pit former team-mates.  Donald 'The Cowboy' Cerrone vs Melvin 'The Young Assassin' Guillard. Melvin who was previously under the tutelage of Greg Jackson and Mike Winkeljohn has now moved from Albuquerque to Florida to join the Blackzillians. Rashad Evans current camp. The move was more of a mutual move rather than a bitter one (Evans-Jones drama). Cerrone is fighting in his home town. That is one major motivation to perform and win. This fight will be a slugfest. Heavy leg kicks from the cowboy and big punches from the young assassin. Predictions? I say Cerrone by RNC in the 3rd round. I don't know how much Melvin has improve from moving camps but the cowboy is just more well rounded in all aspects of the game.

I think I have said so much so its time to let the guys do their talking
