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.
Shields by UD
Gilbert Melendez vs. Shinya Aoki – Aoki is a great grappler, but without his infamous tight pants, he will have a hard time with Melendez. The tight pants helped Aoki hold on to submissions because of the traction. Melendez is an experienced wrestler, with a good submission defense. Melendez will keep this fight standing, and eventually get the KO on Aoki.
Melendez by KO – Rd. 3
Aoki’s Magic Pants
Muhammed Lawal vs. Gegard Mousasi – This will be an easy fight for Mousasi, Lawal hasn’t proven himselt yet against top-competition. Lawal will try to go for the KO. But, Mousasi is better at stand-up and will win by KO.
Mousasi by KO – Rd. 1
