MMA on New Year's Eve is back with RIZIN Fighting Federation's two-day Grand Prix event. The final build-up leading to the MMA return of Fedor Emelianenko after three and a half years of retirement. It's a huge set of fight cards featuring notable talent from across the combat sports world. There will be top kickboxers, BJJ artists, sumos, and MMA fighters. There will be a light heavyweight tournament, a shootboxing bout, and maybe even a mixed rules fight or two. It's the kind of spectacle that MMA has rarely been able to capture outside of Japan and this looks to be a full force serving of it.

Junior Dos Santos vs Alistair Overeem full Fight Video - UFC on FOX 17 prediction: I almost think you have to pick Dos Santos here, with his punching power, toughness, athleticism, and Overeem's own fragility, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have my doubts. Dos Santos looks more and more like he's become a stand-n-bang brawler rather than a deft boxer-puncher with great timing and the ability to adjust range quickly and counterpunch expertly. Every fight he's in now seems to be a back and forth war where he's eating just as many shots as he's landing. And I really do think that Jackson-Wink is doing good things with Overeem, making him a more in-and-out range striker who relies on his prodigious athletic gifts, rather than just trying to out-maul people in the pocket. Overeem doesn't have the chin for it, so not doing it is a great idea. Still, his margin for error is so thin. Overeem easily out-classed Nelson when they fought earlier this year, but every time Nelson landed a couple big shots, Overeem ended up rocked and scrambling. JDS is faster and strings his combos together better. I just can't bet on Overeem surviving 3 rounds, even if I think he could win each one on points. Junior Dos Santos via KO, Round 2.

Rafael dos Anjos vs Donald Cerrone 2 full Fight Video - UFC on FOX 17 prediction: I will freely admit that I continue to have a hard time getting on board the dos Anjos train. It's not that I dislike him - he's a good, entertaining fighter, and I'm happy for him that he finally won a world title. But I still don't see things in him that make me say this is a guy who can hold on to the belt long in one of the sport's deepest divisions. Of course, everything I said about dos Anjos, I also could say about Cerrone. So if I see neither man here having a significant title run, who do I see getting out of this one fight? It's a tough call, but I'll use my heart and go with the Cowboy. Donald Cerrone by submission, round 3

Lance Palmer vs Alexandre Almeida full Fight Video - World Series of Fighting (WSOF) returns to NBC Sports Network tomorrow night (Dec. 18, 2015) with its latest mixed martial arts (MMA) event, which will take place inside "The Chelsea" at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas, Nevada. WSOF 26 will be headlined by the second title defense for Featherweight star Lance Palmer, coming little more than one year after "The Party" won the 145-pound title in Sacramento. Palmer is not one to rest on his laurels, though, and there is a strong challenge ahead of him in Alexandre de Almeida, along with a strong card for NBC Sports Network with key match ups in three different weight classes.

Watch WEIDMAN vs ROCKHOLD full fight video replay on MMASHARE for free!

Who will win? Anton Tabuena PICK: On the feet, I think Weidman may have better hands and more power in them, but Rockhold has better kicks and is more diverse with his strikes. On the ground I think they're equally good -- maybe Weidman has slightly better takedowns, but Rockhold has better transitions and guard passing. I do believe that Rockhold is more athletic, faster, and has better movement, and those things could be the deciding factor on the areas/skillsets that may be very even or similar between them. I have been flip flopping on this pick for a while now, but ultimately that's why I'm going with the upset. Luke Rockhold by Decision.

WHO WILL WIN? (Frankie Saenz): I go with Aldo, just on pure experience, just from what I saw as far as him coming up and him just beating everybody, him beating Frankie Edgar. I'm a huge fan of Frankie Edgar. Him being able to beat Frankie says a lot, as far as his whole MMA game. I mean, he's been the champ for a long time for a reason, and I think he's going to stay the champ, and I think [Aldo] finishes him. This is a fight he's motivated for, and you haven't seen a motivated Jose Aldo in a while, like just freaking getting after it. I think he's going to hurt McGregor.

Frankie Edgar vs Chad Mendes - TUF 22 Finale

Frankie Edgar vs Chad Mendes FIGHT VIDEO 

Watch Frankie Edgar vs Chad Mendes full fight video replay on MMASHARE!


PICK: I could be dead wrong, but this could be a tough night for Edgar... and it's not just because he's facing "full camp Mendes", who seems as legendary as "motivated BJ" and "sea-level Cain". In all seriousness though, Edgar's takedowns are a big key for his game, and I think that will be neutralized by Mendes. Chad may not be as quick as Edgar, but he has much bigger power, and Frankie's strikes will be more predictable without a significant threat of takedowns. Chad Mendes by TKO.

Rose Namajunas vs Paige VanZant full Fight Video - UFC FIGHT NIGHT 80 prediction: Coming in on relatively short notice may play a factor against Rose on the later rounds, since VanZant's game is based on pressure, but I'm not so sure she wins this. VanZant has been able to out-muscle, out-work and grind out opponents, but I don't think she can pass on that alone against Namajunas. Unless Paige has made significant improvements since we last saw her, I think Rose will still be tricky and manage to find an opening for a scramble and a submission as VanZant tries to press and clinch. Rose Namajunas by Submission.

Episode 12 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 -- the last of the season -- gets underway and the focus right out of the gate is the remaining semifinal fights featuring Saul Rogers vs. Marcin Wrzosek and Artem Lobov vs. Julian Erosa. Erosa is the lone survivor from Team USA. Coach Conor McGregor calls the Rogers vs. Wrzosek fight "business" and insists there is nothing weird about the pre-fight preparations, despite the fact that both competitors are from Team Europe. In the end, it's every man for himself.

Josh Thomson vs. Pablo Villaseca - Bellator 147

Josh Thomson vs. Pablo Villaseca FIGHT VIDEO 

Watch Josh Thomson vs. Pablo Villaseca full fight video replay on MMASHARE!


With no UFC events this week, Bellator has a chance to take center stage and they're doing so with a somewhat odd fight card offering. In the main event, longtime UFC & Strikeforce veteran Josh Thomson takes on relatively unknown Pablo Villaseca in what has all the hallmarks of a showcase fight for "The Punk." The co-main is probably the best booked bout of the evening with former title contender Daniel Weichel taking on Georgi Karakhanyan fresh off the Russian-born Armenian-American fighter's return from injury. The bout could set Karakhanyan back up for a shot at the featherweight title if he can get the win. And rounding out the top of the card is a rematch between Patricky freire and prospect Derek Anderson. Anderson had a shocking upset win over "Pitbull" in his Bellator debut, but has been a bit inconsistent since then.

Despite their status as teammates throughout the season, Wrzosek and Teymur will have to collide over a spot in the semifinal round. UFC President Dana White says Teymur is one of the favorites to win the competition and he expects an action-filled affair.

This Saturday in Germany, Ukrainian Wladimir Klitschko defends the WBA, WBO, IBF and lineal heavyweight titles against undefeated Tyson Fury of England. Klitschko has dominated the heavyweight division for most of this century, but the Fury is a true giant of a man and 12 years younger than the champion. Fury is ranked as the No. 3 contender by The Ring, behind only Alexander Povetkin and Deontay Wilder, and Boxrec has him behind only Povetkin. No heavyweight on the planet is more deserving of a shot at Klitschko. This fight will be broadcast live in the U.S. during the afternoon on HBO.

HENDERSON vs MASVIDAL - UFC FN 79 MAIN EVENT

HENDERSON vs MASVIDAL FIGHT VIDEO 

Watch HENDERSON vs MASVIDAL full fight video replay on MMASHARE!


PICK: This is a really tough fight to call because there is every reason to believe Masvidal can make this competitive and actually win, and every reason to believe he can Josh Thomson his way out of a win and into a split decision loss. Maybe moving up a weight class will consistently increase the offensive output of both fighters and we get a back-and-forth thriller, but there's something preventing me from thinking that'll happen and I just can't explain it. I consider Masvidal to be the much better technical striker (for starters, he has a jab and Bendo never really has had that) and has a really underrated ground game (GOLDBERG-IAN ALERT) with impressive takedown defense. However, he's a slow starter and Henderson thrives at winning fights that go into round 4 and 5. That's not a combination I'm comfortable with as far as picking Masvidal for the upset. I see a slow 1st and 2nd round before Henderson starts to impose his game, outwrestle the hard-to-wrestle Masvidal in the later rounds and try and tire him out, and ultimately pick up a 48-47 or 49-46 type decision win. Jorge wins this if he can outwork Henderson in the clinch, box him up from range and consistently defend the takedown, but I think Henderson is just the better fighter and he'll win this on the ground. Ben Henderson by unanimous decision.

Episode 10 of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 gets underway and we're not dicking around with any pleasantries. That means two lightweight quarterfinal fights are on tap featuring Artem Lobov vs. Martin Svensson and Saul Rogers vs. Ryan Hall. Hall is the jiu-jitsu wizard with the nasty leg locks. Team USA and coach Urijah Faber are still reeling after UFC President Dana White booted Chris Gruetzemacher from the competition -- despite the fact that "Gritz" didn't lose -- because of some cockamamie elimination gimmick concocted by producers. That said, he will replace anyone who gets hurt and bows out, like Martin Svensson, who claims his arm is all fucked up from his fight against Thanh Le. After going to get it looked at, the doctor reveals a broken elbow and just like that, Gruetzemacher is back in the mix. He takes over to fight Artem Lobov and according to coach Conor McGregor, will get KTFO in round one. Both teams head back to the TUF house and WTF? There are girls running around in bikinis. White informs the troops he's gone and thrown them a pool party, because he's cool like that (and because everyone fought hard over the past nine episodes). Fast-forward five days and it's time to get it on. Lobov tells Gruetzemacher to "be ready to die in there." Let's hope for everyone's sake it doesn't come to that.

Kelvin Gastelum vs. Neil Magny - UFC FIGHT NIGHT 78 MAIN EVENT

Watch Kelvin Gastelum vs. Neil Magny full fight video replay on MMASHARE!


PICK Zane Simon: The fact that I'm picking Gastelum along with the rest of the staff really shouldn't undercut the major x-factor in this fight. This feels like the perfect measuring stick as to just how seriously Gastelum is taking his fight prep. If he is out of shape Magny is difficult enough to put away and aggressive enough in his output to survive early and rally to win the late rounds in a 5 round fight. If Gastelum is in shape, this is the kind of fight he's shown that he's already very capable of winning. I'll assume the latter even though there's no reason not to bet on the former, given his history. Kelvin Gastelum by RNC round 3.

CANELO ALVAREZ vs MIGUEL COTTO - WBC middleweight championship

CANELO ALVAREZ vs MIGUEL COTTO FIGHT VIDEO 

Watch CANELO ALVAREZ vs MIGUEL COTTO full fight video replay on MMASHARE!


Pick: This is a bad matchup for Cotto. Canelo is going to look 3 weight classes bigger than him tomorrow. If we look at Cotto's last three fights, they're against a heavy underdog in Daniel Geale (who looked like James Irvin's cousin at the weigh-ins), a Sergio Martinez without functioning knees (Martinez has since retired), and career journeyman Delvin Rodriguez. Is it a career resurgence or just matchmaking that makes it seem as such for Cotto? Because he looked close to done against Austin Trout. I firmly believe Cotto is still a good fighter, but his absolute best days were arguably 6-8 years ago. Canelo should have the upper hand here on his crisp punching, very good defense, and just being flat out younger and just physically superior. Freddie Roach can do all he wants, but I don't see Cotto turning back the clock against a man 10 years his junior, especially not one as talented as Canelo. I predict a slow start, then the action picks up, Canelo wears Cotto down with body shots, possibly scores a couple of knockdowns with his combinations, but Miguel will survive to the final bell. Canelo Alvarez by unanimous decision.

Knockout artists Hisaki Kato and Melvin Manhoef will go toe-to-toe in the main event of Bellator 146 on Friday at the Global Event Center at WinStar World Resorts in Thackerville, Oklahoma. The two men have proven to be sources for spectacular finishes in the past. MMA fans should have their fingers crossed as they hope for another memorable scrap. Manhoef epitomizes the concept of feast or famine. He's coming to KO his opponent, and he's willing to meet the same fate in the process. In fact, the 39-year-old from the Netherlands has been knocked out five times in his career, though only four have stood as official results. His most recent bout with Alexander Shlemenko was initially a KO loss via spinning backfist, but the Russian failed a pre-fight drug test and caused the decision to be overturned. Kato scored his own amazing and devastating KO win in his last fight. Facing former Manhoef conqueror Joe Schilling, Kato torched the world-class kicboxer with a left-hand superman punch that knocked him out cold.

Episode nine of “The Ultimate Fighter 22: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber” opens with immediate focus on fighter preparation for the final opening-round matchup of the season. With a 5-3 advantage in the competition, Team McGregor’s Abner Lloveras hopes to put further distance in the score with a victory over Team Faber’s Jason Gonzalez. The traditional “Coach’s Challenge” is next. Conor McGregor and Urijah Faber are set to face off in an airdrop. Each coach will fly in a helicopter and drop melons out the window in an attempt to hit a target worth various levels of points. Beyond the bragging rights of victory, the winning coach will be granted $10,000 with each member of their respective team getting $1,500. McGregor says he wanted a more physical-based challenge but is still confident in victory. It all comes down to the final round where Faber holds a 15-point edge. He connects with a 100-point bulls eye on his final shot for the victory, much to the chagrin of a frustrated McGregor. At weigh-ins, Lloveras and Gonzalez come in under the 156-pound lightweight limit. The ninth opening-round matchup of the season is official. A friendly staredown follows the weigh-in. Lloveras and Gonzalez finalize their preparation, and the next tournament matchup is underway.

Bloodyelbow pick: Rousey is a -2000 favourite for a reason. People say Holm could stand back and pick her shots. She'll try, but Rousey has 25 minutes to get inside Holm's range and then knock her out or judo throw her and submit her. She wins this by stoppage (as per usual) rather quickly. Ronda Rousey via Submission; Round 1

Mookie Alexander PICK: I've read several articles on how Holly Holm can at least make it competitive with Ronda Rousey. I respect those columns and can definitely see a slim chance where Greg Jackson cracks the Rousey code, makes her fight patiently, and Holm capitalizes with several rounds of point-fighting. Hell, I'd even add Rousey could get careless and Holm, while historically not powerful, can land that perfect KO shot for the upset. Here's my counter to all of this: Ronda Rousey, armbar, round 1.

Episode eight of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 gets underway on FOX Sports 1 -- coached by Conor McGregor and Urijah Faber -- and we immediately start gearing up for the next elimination fight pitting Artem Lobov (Team Europe) against James Jenkins (Team USA). Lobov, of course, is one of two fighters welcomed back into the fold, despite losing his fight to get into the TUF house (more on that here). He also trains with coach McGregor back in Ireland so "Notorious" is deeply invested in this next fight. "He's a solid, solid fighter who came up the hard way," according to C-Mac, who predicts a win by knockout. Jenkins, meanwhile, plans to "hit like a ton of bricks." Coach Faber insists this is one "bloody mess" that won't be boring. Both fighters make weight without incident and their staredown is fairly cordial. UFC President Dana White promises "one hell of a fight."

PICK: Henderson's mileage at this point is far more impressive than Randy Couture. Granted, this was never in question. But it really emphasizes what Hendo has actually accomplished; simply put, I can't see there ever being a fighter that could possibly replicate what Dan has at his age. The interesting part of his longevity is that every aspect of his arsenal hasn't dissipated. He still throws with a tire iron, still tough as nails, and the parts of his game that were once deficiencies are only inconveniences.

We've seen Dynamite and other hyped cards, but Bellator 145 is one of the strongest pure MMA cards the promotion has put on. It's being billed as With a Vengeance, and the show is set for Friday, November 6, at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri. The main event and co-main event would be main card bouts in the UFC. That's how good this lineup of fights looks on paper. The co-feature pits Bellator Lightweight champion "Ill" Will Brooks against the Polish submission machine Marcin Held. The main event is a third battle between former Bellator featherweight champion Daniel Straus and current title holder Patricio "Pitbull" Freire. Before those two battles take place, fans will get a heavyweight bout between the always entertaining James Thompson and Bobby Lashley. Also, former 155-pound champion Michael Chandler will face David "The Caveman" Rickels.

Episode seven of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) 22 gets underway and Team USA is feeling good now that it's up 3-2 over Team Europe. With that in mind, Thanh Le (USA) fights Martin Svensson (Europe) to see who gets one step closer to the glass trophy and six-figure contract on Dec. 11, 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Svensson is "sick and tired" of the way the Americans fight. Artem Lobov says Team USA needs to do stupid things to be remembered, like wear headbands with penises drawn on them, as well as give each other NOS showers (think low-rent Gatorade bath). Coach Conor McGregor is giving Svensson some extra pointers and has his assistant coach join in, as the burly Swede needs to watch out for the fast hands (and feet) of Le in what on paper, appears to be a classic match up of striker vs. grappler. Coach Urijah Faber, not surprisingly, wants "big kicks and punches" once the cage door closes.

Paddy Holohan had a debut as a fairly sizable underdog to well-regarded Josh Sampo. The general read on Holohan was that he was a submission hunter with serious deficits in physicality and striking. A high octane strikes-to-sub finish obviated those concerns, perhaps too much, because the perennially underrated Chris Kelades bullied him in his next fight. A couple of wins over Shane Howell and Vaughan Lee have normalized perceptions of the Hooligan a bit.

TEMECULA, Calif. – Former Bellator MMA middleweight champ Brandon Halsey (9-0 MMA, 7-0 BMMA) will fight for the title he recently lost on the scale when he meets Rafael Carvalho (11-1 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) at Bellator 144. Bellator President Scott Coker announced the new contest on the newest edition of “The MMA Road Show with John Morgan.” The matchup, the second title fight to be scheduled for the card, will serve as the co-main event of the evening. Featuring a headlining rematch between Bellator bantamweight champion Marcos Galvao and former champ Eduardo Dantas, Bellator 144 takes place Oct. 23 at Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, Conn. The undefeated Halsey has looked fantastic in seven Bellator MMA wins to date, including a 35-second drubbing of then-middleweight champ Alexander Shlemenko in Septemebr 2014 to claim the title. However, Halsey carried an injury into his May 2015 title defense against Kendall Grove and was unable to make weight for the Bellator 137 headliner and was stripped of his belt. Coker said that any hard feelings between the fighter and the promotion have been resolved, and Halsey signed a new deal ahead of this title fight. Meanwhile, Carvalho is a 29-year-old Brazilian contender who suffered a loss in his 2011 professional debut but has since rattled off 11 consecutive wins, including nine by knockout. Carvalho has earned Bellator wins over Joe Schilling and Brian Rogers en route to earning a shot at the belt.

Episode No. 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter 22: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber” opens with Team Faber members expressing confusion over Team McGregor’s fight selection decision after back-to-back victories. Team Faber’s Julian Erosa believes Team McGregor made a significant error by pitting him against Mehdi Baghdad. Team McGregor, however, is confident after rallying from a 0-2 deficit to tie the competition, 2-2. At the next Team McGregor training session, Baghdad is excited to train and already feels prepared for the bout. He explains his credentials as a “K-1 world champion” and boldly states he’s ready to “cut” his opponent’s heart “like a filet mignon.” Coach McGregor believes it’s essential for Bagdad to strike first and strike often against Erosa. If he follows the game plan, McGregor believes a knockout win is inevitable.

Mookie Alexander: This is one of those Strikeforce-type fights where it doesn't really look all that even on paper (and this fight isn't), but is surely going to be loads of fun to watch and there is very much the chance that the underdog can shock the world and pull off the upset. For what it's worth, this is the first time that Golovkin has really fought someone who is both aggressive and has consistent KO power (same is true for Lemieux, but he's not being billed as the favorite here), and I'm fascinated to see whether or not this prompts Abel Sanchez to make Golovkin take a more cautious approach, or if he'll just fight his usual fight and I'll be shouting obscenities in excitement. Golovkin gets hit, although sometimes he does it to spur his "big drama show", and I'm betting he actually does have a great chin, but can he withstand Lemieux's power? We've seen Lemieux in trouble before against Marco Antonio Rubio back in 2011, and the first bit of resistance he felt, he folded and his corner threw in the towel. He's gotten a lot better since then, particularly finding ways to be more effective with his brutal hands. I do feel though that Golovkin is the more technical fighter and when he has someone hurt, he is less wild and reckless as Lemieux tends to be (and was vs. N'Dam). We may see some moments where Golovkin gets caught and has to back off, but in the long run I feel Golovkin's body shots, better technical skills, and his ruthless killer instinct break Lemieux down until he finally falls down in a valiant effort. GGG by TKO, round 7.

Reigning ONE Championship middleweight champion Igor Svirid will put his belt on the line against undefeated opponent Vitaly Bigdash in Kuala Lumpur on Friday night (local time). Their middleweight title fight will be the main event at Stadium Putra and both men made weight at the first attempt. Svirid (10-1) will be making the first defense of the belt he won just under a year ago. The Kazakh tipped the scales at 184 pounds. He had the following words for the Russian challenger: “I respect all men who have the courage to step inside the cage, but the ONE Middleweight World Championship is mine and I’m not leaving without it. I’m ready to show the world that my reign on top of this division will be long and dominant.”

Episode No. 5 of “The Ultimate Fighter 22: Team McGregor vs. Team Faber” opens with Conor McGregor explaining his decision to select Team McGregor’s Saul Rogers to fight Team Faber’s Billy Quarantillo after his team earned its first victory of the season. The fighters return to the “TUF” house, and Team Faber’s Tom Gallicchio is upset with his loss to Team McGregor’s Marcin Wrzosek on the previous episode. The 10-year veteran says he’s tired of disappointments and setbacks, and he begins to question his future. Focus shifts to Rogers’ preparation with Team McGregor. Coach McGregor takes Rogers and the team through several drills involving specific scenarios that he believes will come up in the fight with Quarantillo. Team Faber helps Quarantillo ready for his next contest. Coach Faber explains that Quarantillo’s technique is several steps behind the majority of the other cast members. The coaching staff work with Quarantillo as much as possible and expresses the importance of sticking to the fundamentals against a more experienced opponent. Coaches and fighters from both teams enjoy some relaxation time outside of the house. They travel to a Las Vegas restaurant for dinner and drinks. The fighters are grateful for the bonding time with the coaches outside of a training environment. At weigh-ins, Rogers and Quarantillo come in under the 156-pound lightweight limit.

Anton Tabuena: I'm not sure why Daniel Cormier is this big a favorite, as I believe this will be a really tough fight for him. Unless that brutal KO against Rumble really messed him up, Gus should be able to stay on his feet for stretches and be able to land good shots from the outside. Can DC rough him up in close and eventually take him down and wear on him? Sure, but stylistically I think it's a pretty even fight, one that is much closer than what the odds portray. I've been flip flopping on this decision, but I'm leaning towards a fight where Gustafsson is able to fight much better at range to win enough rounds. Alexander Gustafsson by Decision.

Mookie Alexander: If Rashad wasn't coming off an extremely long layoff and back-to-back surgeries, I'd pick him in a heartbeat. But that's not the case, and I won't pick him mostly because of that, and also the fact that Bader looks to be reaching the peak of his career. You wouldn't back him to ever beat Jon Jones and I wouldn't favor him against Cormier, Gustafsson, and possibly Johnson, but he's developed a style that is reliable enough to consistently win fights against virtually everyone except the absolute top-tier. I have a feeling that Evans is going to not look anywhere near the guy who dominated Phil Davis and Bader will capitalize as such. He may even do it with his boxing, which isn't bad by any means. Ryan Bader by unanimous decision.

This week’s episode begins with Team Europe captain Conor McGregor disgusted with Sascha Sharma’s performance against American Chris Gruetzemacher. The popular Irishman is laying into his fighter, and he’s doing it hard. Sharma hangs his head in disappointment, but McGregor is relentless while the rest of the fighters on the team become uncomfortable and appear to be a little uneasy with everything. “He pussied out,” the UFC interim featherweight champion tells the camera. “That’s it.” After ripping Sharma, the scene finally ends with McGregor unwavering in how miffed he was at his pupil’s refusal to listen. The frustration boils over into the hallway, where Conor and Team USA captain Urijah Faber discuss the fight. “Either you want to be on this show and fight or you don’t,” McGregor squawks to Faber. “If you don’t, I don’t give a f--k about you. I mean, that’s it. It is what it is.” Faber understands his nemesis’ irritation but comes to Sharma’s defense, telling McGregor that he doesn’t need to rip Sharma apart because it’s not going to help the young fighter. “You broke a perfectly good pair of sunglasses,” Faber exclaimed to McGregor. “I could have used those.”

Phil Mackenzie: The fight with K-Taro is probably a better matchup than the Kunimoto fight it's taken the place of, but the Leech is really a solid fighter who's developing in exactly the ways you'd like to see, generating crisp and high-volume striking to go with his prior stifling grappling and toughness. Also looks like a bad guy from Slam Dunk which is plus points in my book. Li Jingliang by TKO, round 2

Mookie Alexander: Kikuno likes to not defend strikes and Brandão hits really hard, while also having a penchant for refusing to have any defense. This is my favorite fight on the card because it'll probably end in bizarre fashion. If Kikuno wants to keep up that Koji Oishi tribute act like he did against Tony Ferguson, then I hope he has his burial plot picked out. Diego Brandão by KO, round 2.

Anton Tabuena: Barnett hasn't been active that much, and he been competing since 1997. Has all those years of fighting caught up to him yet? Because that's the only reason I'm hesitant to pick him. Stylistically this should favor Barnett, but if he has slowed a step, Nelson can easily put his lights out. Tough to predict really, but in the end I'm going with Josh Barnett by Submission.

Anton Tabuena: This is the best chance for Hall to stay relevant, as stylistically and pace-wise Mousasi is the most 'winnable' (in the loosest sense of the word) bout for him in the top 10. I don't think he wins though. Gegard will be competitive on the feet, but if there's a scramble and it ends up on the mat, the fight tips heavily to his favor. Gegard Mousasi by Decision.

TUF 22 Episode 3 Recap: Following the terse match between Ryan Hall and Frantz Slioa last week, it’s all smiles and confidence in the Team Europe camp, even though they’ve lost the opening match of the season. Episode 3 begins with captain Conor McGregor speaking about his methods of coaching, and he reveals that he has his guys training twice a day: once in the morning and once at night. But the catch is that McGregor only pops his head into the gym at night. Though he doesn’t give a detailed explanation as to why, he said that his assistants work with the reality show’s contestants on basic drills and conditioning in the morning, while the interim UFC featherweight champ heads the more grueling, technique-laden nightly routines.

SAN JOSE, Calif. – Phil Davis thought he’d be fighting Muhammed Lawal in Saturday’s light heavyweight tournament final at Bellator 142. Instead, Davis (15-3 MMA, 2-0 BMMA) had to make a quick adjustment to fight Francis Carmont (24-11 MMA, 2-1 BMMA) when neither Lawal nor the man “King Mo” beat in the opening round, Linton Vassell, could fight in the final against Davis – who submitted Emanuel Newton in the semifinals. But just a couple hours after he beat Newton, Davis took out Carmont in quick order, as well.

Mookie Alexander: Tito hasn't been in a scheduled five-round fight since the Chuck Liddell rematch in 2006 (!). I ain't trusting him for a second to handle an additional two rounds at his age and at this stage of his career. Ortiz won't go away quietly and he may give McGeary trouble with his wrestling, but if McGeary wants to consider himself the best LHW in the world, he's got to at least show he's the best LHW in Bellator. If he can't, then this division is s-c-r-e-w-e-d. Working his submissions from the bottom probably won't work against Tito, but the odds that he can hurt and drop Ortiz with his powerful stand-up are pretty damn favorable to me. Ortiz is competent at best and predictable at worst on the feet, and McGeary can win there and perhaps seal it with ground-and-pound against a gassed Tito in the middle rounds.

Tonya Evinger walks in as a reasonable, but not immense favorite (-203 to -210) for her first title defense on the strength of her recent surge of fighting form. A longtime regional vet, she's always been a consistent winner, but it seems like it's only after her early exit from the Ultimate Fighter Season 18, where she got submitted by Raquel Pennington, that something has really started to click for her in the cage. Her combination of top shelf technical wrestling, consistent, high output kickboxing, and unbelievable toughness have made her a force in Invicta at 135. Is Kianzad the fighter to run her off her winning streak? I kind of doubt it. Pannie Kianzad is almost certainly going to be the better pure striker in the cage, she has a nice technical base, is light on her feet, and has fast hands. But she's not the kind of power striker that is probably going to put much fear in Evinger. Add to the mix that her takedown game often revolves around her either pulling guard, or intiating a sacrifice or trip, and then relying on her scrambling ability to get position or find a submission on the bottom, and her status as an underdog feels right. It's not like Evinger can't be submitted. She has been, but it's now been years since the last time it happened. Evinger's lock down positional wrestling and ground and pound seem sharper than ever. If Kianzad can't clearly out-box her I don't think she'll out grapple her. And I don't think her striking is quite sharp enough to do the job.

No one can question J.C. Cottrell’s resilience. The former King of the Cage champion submitted Ed Cline Jr. with a standing rear-naked choke in the Legacy Fighting Championship 45 headliner on Friday at Hard Rock Hotel and Casino in Tulsa, Okla. Cline (8-5-1), who had locked in a tight standing guillotine just moments earlier, met his surprising end 1:18 into round one. The welterweights did not waste time. Cline staggered his counterpart with a clean right hand and snatched an arm-in guillotine during their opening exchange. Cottrell (16-3) was in visible distress but remained calm and waited for the squeeze to subside. Once free from the choke, he climbed on the unsuspecting Cline’s back, cinched the choke and elicited the tapout. Cottrell, 25, has won five fights in a row and 14 of his last 15.

Stephie Daniels: Look, I'm no different than everyone else. I want Pacman to win. I think he has a better chance to do it than anyone Floyd's ever been matched up with. He carries considerable power and has learned to use his right pretty effectively. If he goes back to what he did early in his career, and gets Floyd on the ropes to control the fight there, he might be able to get the job done. That's a big "if" though. Mayweather isn't normally in the habit of letting anyone dictate where the fight goes. He's a damned good ring general, which is a tremendous aid to his real weapon, counter-punching. I think that is where this fight gets won. He simply beats you with your own aggression. Mayweather via unanimous decision

I'll tell you what I want to see, a rematch. I want to get two fights out of this. I have a feeling if Pacquiao wins, there won't be a rematch, but if Mayweather wins, he'll rematch him in September and then retire, just to make another $80 or $90 million. I'm just so glad to in a time to be able to see a fight like this.

‘TUF 22’ Recap: Episode 1: After weeks of seemingly endless promotion from Zuffa, the 22nd season of “The Ultimate Fighter” is finally here and after watching Episode One, it promises to be one of the best seasons in years. This season follows a format of U.S.A. versus Europe, but the first twist for this cast is that the two coaches weren’t able to pick their teams, which will be comprised entirely of lightweights. After several cut scenes of the combatants grabbing their bags at the airport and talking to the cameras, the loquacious and polarizing Conor McGregor struts into the TUF gym with his title belt around his shoulder. The immediate cut scene is of Dana White gushing about the Irishman almost uncontrollably, which is right before McGregor states that he thinks it’s tougher for European fighters to make it through the ranks in the sport of mixed martial arts. White also boasts about how great the other coach, Urijah Faber, is and that he’s a legend. Naturally, McGregor tells the eventual viewers that Faber, “is just… there,” and that he doesn’t see him as a competitor. “He’s not on my level. I smoked his teammate,” Conor proclaimed. After the two coaches meet with Dana at the central table perched next to the Octagon. They trade friendly verbal barbs. Faber asks if Ireland is known for cantaloupes because, he said, McGregor’s head is like a cantaloupe on a toothpick. The comedy has officially begun at this point. From there, the duelists took center stage. All 16 original candidates for team U.S.A. fought for the right to make it into the house; the same with the Europeans. Though some of the matches were unsavory in terms of non-action (evidenced by the editing team showing simple highlights), there were some serious scraps. For the Americans, Johnny Nunez scored the quickest win when he heel hooked Ryan Hall into submission, but aside from that drubbing, there was plenty of competitive action on both sides. Thanh Le tore up Andres Quintana with a plethora of kicks and punches en route to a decision win, as did Julian Erosa when he conquered Jason Soares. Jason Gonzalez took out Tim Welch with a perfect left kick to the liver in the second after a thrilling back-and-forth brawl and Chris Gruetzemacher administered one hell of a beating to Austin Springer’s body to get a stoppage of his own. The Americans didn’t stop there as Tom Gallicchio quickly dispatched Mike Flach with a slick rear-naked choke and James Jenkins out-slugged Brennan Sevin to earn a decision win in what might have been the best match of the day. Finally, Billy Quarantello -- who was made fun of by Faber and White after reading his bio where he claimed to look like both Mark Wahlberg and Channing Tatum -- took out Brandon Ricetti in the second via TKO. On the European side of the bracket, Sweden’s David Teymur edged Thibault Gouti (France) via majority decision. Sascha Sharma, from Germany, also won a decision over England’s Sean Carter, as did Swedish fellow Martin Svensson, who toppled Germany’s Mohamed Grabinski. Englishman Saul Rogers took out fellow Brit Paulo Boer with a textbook rear-naked choke to earn his entry into the house. Poland’s Marcin Wrzosek followed suit by doing the same thing to Dutch fighter Djamil Chan. Not to be outdone, Sweden’s Frantz Slioa replicated the feat by submitting Scotland’s Martin Delaney in the exact manner. McGregor’s Irish friend Artem Lobov dropped a decision to France’s Mehdi Baghdad in a fight that likely should have gone to overtime but didn’t. And finally, Spaniard Abner Lloveras won his match via TKO when Croatia’s Vlado Sikic repeatedly dislocated his shoulder until he couldn’t bear the pain anymore. When all of fights concluded and the teams were secured, McGregor said he is excited to be working with the guys. He says his team is much tougher and skilled, and that he thinks his team should dominate the Americans. Faber, on the other hand, didn’t appear too enthusiastic about not being able to pick his team. He called Team Faber the Bad News Bears, but stated that he likes the character of every fighter on the team. After White flips a coin to see which coach will pick the first fight, it’s revealed that Faber wins the toss. The pick will be aired on Episode Two next week, and highlights include Faber making fun of McGregor’s python shoes. And, according to the show’s narrator, the first preliminary bout will have a, “shocking ending.”

Anton Tabuena: I don't think Mir can take down Arlovski unless he hurts him on the feet, which is where I think the fight will be decided. While Mir has improved his boxing significantly, this could boil down to who lands big and who lands often, so I'm still picking the better and more consistent striker who is more likely to accomplish that. Anything can happen at heavyweight, but I believe that it is more likely that this ends with Andrei Arlovski by TKO.

That said, Johnson is just a superior MMA fighter who can transition beautifully from distance-clinch-ground. I believe he will showcase his skill set once again and pick Dodson apart.

Dan Henderson: "I think Anderson, for the last five years, has tried to pick and choose who he fights and manipulates the UFC a little bit. He didn't want to fight Chael again after the first time, and, you know, obviously did after a while. He didn't want to fight me again. He kind of tries to stay away from guys that are dangerous or have a dangerous style for him and, you know, especially because he's looking towards the end of his career and he wants to, he wants to retire without losing again. It's not necessarily how champ should be, but, at the same time he is trying to be smart about things. So, you know, it's all debatable."

Anton Tabuena: This should be fun either way it goes. Both men are well rounded, but I think Holloway is the more technical and effective striker, while Oliveira's tricky ground game could pose problems. I believe Holloway will be able to have this bout contested on the feet for the most part giving him the edge here. It could be a decision, but I'm picking Max Holloway by late TKO.
