UFC on FX 6 and TUF16 Finale, both on the 15th!
Is it just me, or does it seem weird they have two UFC events, in the same evening?
TUF Finale
Matt Mitrione vs Roy Nelson - Should be fun to watch, but Nelson could easily make this a ground match and come up with an easy submission. Nelson I believe has a jiujitsu black belt from Mark Laimon and Mitrione has poor ground skills, compared to ufc peers..
Pat Barry vs Shane Del Rosario - Not the Shane I wanted to see tonight ( Carwin ), but it's good to see new talent. I don't think I have ever seen Del Rosario fight before, but his record indicates he is a striker with a pension for finishing. He does have some sub wins on his resume too, so if Pat proves to be too much on the feet, which I think he will be, I see Shane going trying to take this to the ground.
Melvin Guillard vs Jaime Varner - Damn this ougtha be good! I think Melvin takes the win via KO.
UFC on FX 6
George Sotiropoulus vs Ross Pearson - Should go to decision.
Hector Lombard vs. Rousimar Palhares - Damn this is a match I want to see! I'm big fan of Palhares and I hope he gets the win via kneebar or heel hook, but Lombard is a badass. I think he was a judo champ or medalist for his home counrty, plus he's a heavy hitter.
