I'm taking some time off from Laker bashing (not long though) to blog about my favorite sport ,MMA. If anyone watched last nights debacle with Kimbo Slice, don't be too disappointed. Tonites WEC fight card on VS.network, is shaping up to be a very good one. Lets start with the Main Event. Current  champ Urijah "the California kid" Takes on  former UFC lightweight champ Jens "Little Evil" Pulver,for the WEC featherweight title. For those of you who havn't seen Faber fight ,he is perpetual motion. Faber is a great wrestler with outstanding submissions.His hands are lightning fast and he strikes from all angles. Urijah's takedowns are fast and brutal . He has the strength and skill to finish an opponent from any position and has an aresenal of unortodox moves and strikes that are amazing to watch.

 Jens Pulver is one of the pioneers of modern MMA an excellent grappler with a punishing left hand and loads of experience. Pulver has fought better competition. He has a decision victory over current UFC lightweight champ BJ Penn ,who many consider to be the best pound for pound fighter in MMA (Penn submitted Jens in their rematch).

 This should be an exiting fight These two are both in top condition and this should be a very fast paced fight. Pulver needs to keep this one standing to have a chance. Jens is a good grappler but is not on the level of Faber.  I'll be pulling for "Little Evil"  But I have to think Faber finishes this by submission in th 2nd round.  

Urijah Faber

"Little Evil"

 Ok boxing fans if last weeks DeLa Hoya , Mayweather fight  left you wanting.  allow me to suggest ponying up the 34.99  and watch what I consider to be the fight of the year ,UFC 71 Chuck Liddel  vs  Quentin (Rampage) Jackson.

These two have fought before with Jackson comming out victorious via ground and pound submisson. The fight was in Japan in a Pride Fighting tournament. since then Chuck has gone on to become the UFC light heavywieght champ. Liddell has three losses in his MMA career ,two of which he avenged by winning the rematches. The Jackson loss is the the only blemish left on Liddell's record

Liddell  vs . Randy Coture

This should be a great fight .Both guys have knockout power and will swing for the fences from the opening bell. Jackson was able to take Liddell down and pound him out in the first fight and though Chuck has greatly improved take down defense if he doesn't take out Rampage in the early going he may be in trouble.

Regardless of the outcome fight fans will not be dissapointed. I have never seen a boring Chuck Liddell fight.This will be non stop action and somone is getting knocked out . If you are a fight fan but are neww to MMA  this is the perfect matchup to get you hooked on this sport .  You boxing fans out there who want to hate on MMA ,lighten up! it's ok to like both. I like to watch a great fight no matter what martial art is being practiced

My prediction

Jackson 3rd rd TKO

Jackson drops Minowa on his head
