The main event is going to be awesome. Machida never losing a single round in his MMA career against one of Pride's premier fighters known for his great grappling..probably won't be an event for the casual viewer. It promises to be a tactical battle
Cain Vs Ben should be a good fight as well. Cain is built like a brick shit house and throws his opponents around like ragdolls but he wont be doing to much of that to Big Ben. True the undercard is a litte weak but after Stefan Struv's list bloodbath fight he has alot of hype on him. Joe Daddy and Spencer Fisher are both working their ways back up so that should be interesting. Personally, I'm looking forwad to watchign Al-Hassan fight. That guy is a mad man |

I see the Main Event going the same way as Machida vs Ortiz, with Machida making Shogun chase him around the ring and side stepping the take down attemps.
And I think Big Ben is gonna K.O. Cain, I don't know why but I just am getting that feeling that Cain is gonna rush the pace and get caught. |

I'd say you've got it spot on for both fights Gig, especially the Velasquez fight. Rothwell is a heavy handed fighter and although Cain did prove he had a good chin in his list fight..I see it first round KO.
