Strikeforce: Henderson vs. Shields Results

strikeforce poster MMA Weekly Report: Strikeforce Brawl, Fedor, and More...

All the televised fights went to decision, but it’s not as bad as it sounds. Henderson almost KOd Shields twice in the first round, but Shields recovered and mounted Henderson the rest of the rounds. Aoki tried to tie Melendez down with his infamous rubber guard, but without his infamous sticky pants, it was very difficult. Mousasi was out-muscled by the better wrestler in Lawal. Lawal took him down with ease, and Mousasi had no answers for King Mo on the ground, i was disappointed.

The most memorable part of the night was the mini-brawl that …

strikeforce nashville1 Strikeforce: Shields vs. Henderson Prediction
This is a free card on CBS – Saturday, Apr. 17th. Check your local listings for time.

Jake Shields vs. Dan Henderson – I have Shields winning this one, he is a younger version of Henderson.  Henderson is a better wrestler, but Shields is a better grappler. Henderson will try to keep this fight standing, but the undefeated Shields will eventually get this fight to the ground. On the ground, I see Shields dominating Henderson, at least in the later Rounds.

Gilbert Melendez vs. Shinya Aoki – Aoki is a great grappler, but without his infamous tight pants, …

Sat., April 10th, 10pm Eastern/7pm Pacific

Anderson Silva vs. Damian Maia – Maia has no chance in this fight, his stand-up is below average, and his BJJ will not phase the MW champion. Silva will pick Maia apart in the stand-up. Maia will go for takedowns, but will not succeed. He will have no choice but to stand with Silva, and that means getting KOd!
Silva by KO – Rd. 2

BJ Penn vs. Frankie Edgar – I’d like to say that Edgar has a chance in this match, but he doesn’t. This is like pitting the Lakers against my beloved …

UFN 21 Results

This turned out to be one of UFC’s better cards in the past months. The fights were exciting, and only one of the televised fights went to decision.

Kenny Florian Def. Takanori Gomi (Submission: Choke)

gomi medium MMA Weekly Report   Short and Sweet

– Gomi’s ground game is amateurish at best. Gomi, is this so hard to figure out? Go practice BJJ for a year. To top it off, Florian was picking Gomi apart in the stand-up. It was an embarrassing night for one of Pride’s top fighter.

Roy Nelson Def. Stefan Struve (TKO)

– Good stand-up by Nelson, he had to step in deep to …

UFC is having another free show on Spike and that’s good news for the fans.  The main event looks exciting with Gomi making his first appearance in the UFC.  The first fight is on Wednesday, 3/31, on  Spike at 8pm ET.  Make sure to check your local listings because Spike’s schedule can be a bit confusing.

Kenny Florian vs. Takanori Gomi – Gomi will try to keep this fight standing, he is known for his heavy hands. Florian should be smart here, and try to take Gomi down. However, Gomi’s takedown defense is pretty good. So, I see Florian with no …
