UFC 93: Franklin vs. Henderson


Venue: The O2, Dublin in Dublin, Ireland
Broadcast on PPV

The UFC 93: Franklin vs Henderson fight card has a little bit of everything. You have two former Champions facing off, a grudge match, two former boxers, and a much anticipated new comer fighting.


UFC Light Heavyweight bout:

American MMA Fighter Rich Franklin vs. American MMA Fighter Dan Henderson

I find it interesting that both of these former 185 pound Champions, are fighting each other at 205 pounds. I must really suck to have Anderson Silva in your natural weight class. This will be an interesting test for Rich "Ace" Franklin, who has only lost to Anderson Silva and Lyoto Machida. Dan Henderson has fighting been fighting championship caliber fights for ever. I am picking Dan Henderson to win by TKO in round 3.

UFC Light Heavyweight bout:

American MMA Fighter Mark Coleman vs. Brazilian MMA Fighter Mauricio Rua

Get ready for a great grudge match. These two MMA fighters fought each other at Pride 31. Mark "The Hammer" Coleman won that fight when Mauricio "Shogun" Rua dislocated his elbow. Coleman landed some shots and shoved the ref aside when he tried to stop the fight. Then both corners got involved in something you normally see in boxing. There is no way Mark Coleman wins this fight unless there is another freak accident. Mauricio Rua is a great fighter who is motivated to avenge his lost to Coleman. Be very surprised if there is a second round, I am going Mauricio Rua by KO in round one.

UFC Welterweight bout:

American MMA Fighter Marcus Davis vs. American MMA Fighter Chris Lytle

Both Marcus Davis and Chris Lytle were professional boxers. If you watched Chris "Lights Out" Lytle's match of UFC 89, this one will be very similar. The biggest difference, I believe that Marcus "The Irish Hand Grenade" Davis will come out of this one with a victory. Lets go with a TKO in round two by Davis.


UFC Middleweight bout:

American MMA Fighter Alan Belcher vs. Flag of Canada Denis Kang

This will be Denis Kang's first fight in the UFC. Many people expect great things from him, and Alan Belcher will be a good test. I actually think that Alan will surprise us and win this fight by TKO in round two.

Flag of Poland Tomasz Drwal vs. Flag of Italy Ivan Serati
