Coming Soon

WEC has it's second show under Zuffa ownership on March 24 in Las Vegas. Here is the lineup:

-Rob McCullough vs. Rich Crunkilton
-Urijah Faber vs. Dominick Cruz
-Joe Riggs vs. Hiromitsu Miura
-John Alessio vs. Carlos Condit
-Brock Larson vs. Erik Apple
-Eddie Wineland vs. Chase Beebe
-Brian Stann vs. Steve Cantwell
-Tiki Ghosn vs. Dave Terrel
-Jesse Moreng vs. Micah Miller
-Scott Norton vs. Alex Serdyukov
-Cub Swanson vs. Tommy Lee

I'll be posting up a few picks of my own for this one and hopefully Beteagle will have it up for me to gamble on. Admittedly I don't know every fighter on the card but any card with Urijah Faber, Rob McCullough and a fight with John Alessio vs Carlos Condit can't be that bad. Too bad none of this making TV until the summer along with WEC's first Zuffa show back in January. It'll be airing on the new Versus Network.

Also coming soon is UFC Fight Night 9 live on Spike TV from Las Vegas on April 9. Here is the lineup:

Main Card Bouts:
-Joe Stevenson vs. Melvin Guillard
-Kenny Florian vs. Dokonjonosuke Mishima
-Antoni Hardonk vs. Frank Mir

Preliminary Bouts:
-Drew Fickett vs. Keita Nakamura
-Wander Braga vs. Kurt Pellegrino
-Kuniyoshi Hironaka vs. Jeff Joslin
-Naoyuki Kotani vs. Thiago Tavares
-Wilson Gouveia vs. Seth Petruzelli
-Roan Carneiro vs. Anthony Torres

Stevenson vs Guillard is a very interesting main event. Stevenson is a great wrestler and is strong for a 155 lb fighter. Guillard is an amazing athlete who seems to improve by the minute. The winner could end up being a top contender to the Lightweight title currently held by Sean Sherk. Florian and Mishima will have a great grappling match but seriously who gives a flying fuck about Frank Mir vs Antoni Hardonk. Mir has looked like shit since his comeback. Give us the Fickett/Nakamura or Joslin/Hironaka instead. Those fights will kick ass. Here's hoping the shitty Mir fight will go fast so we can see one of them.

Here is a very cool Melvin Guillard highlight clip:
