Can The One stand victorious over The Danger Zone?

Facebook Prelims: #UFC161: Mitch Clarke vs. John Maguire

 
  Mitch Clarke might be the 'Danger Zone' but if there's a fighter who will trespass into this Canadian's territory, it's John Maguire.  Rightfully so, considering he's 'The One.'

   At age 30, John Maguire (18-15-0) may be 3 years older than Mitch Clarke but he has more fight experience under his belt which I believe will give him an advantage.  Along with that, Maguire is sporting his own style of grappling which he proudly refers to as 'Gypsy Jiu Jitsu' as an homage to his gypsy lifestyle back in the UK.

  Don't go ruling out the Canadian prairie boy Mitch Clarke.  With a 4 inch reach advantage he just might stay out of the pocket and strike from a distance.  It's unlikely that he'll want to be on the ground with a fighter like Maguire, who'll most likely try ruthlessly for that takedown (since that is where he is the most comfortable).  Clarke will try to keep this standing.  Who knows - maybe we'll see Mitch Clarke end the fight with his favourite move: The Ax Kick.

  Both men trying to snatch a win here and only one will go home happy. I'm hoping that Mitch Clarke (9-2-0) has found a way to mend that hurting heart of his after his devastating split decision loss to Anton Kuivanen.  His interview with Karyn Bryant nearly broke my heart!  Otherwise John Maguire will have no problem twisting Clarke with one of his Gypsy Jiu Jitsu moves.

Glover catches Te Huna in the octagon at UFC 160

Glover Teixeira has to wait a fight longer until his (possible) shot at UFC Lightweight Championship

 Can you believe it? At age 33 and 4 fights into the UFC, Glover Teixeira is sweeping the light heavyweight division by storm. With an impressive 19 (4 UFC) win streak , I wonder what does it take to prove to the UFC that he's done enough to earn a title shot? Apparently wait on the sidelines and then fight the winner of the matchup: Rashad Evans vs. Dan Henderson (UFC161).

 Could Glover Teixeira be the one to take the candy from the baby and snatch the UFC title away from Jon Jones?

Cain drops Bigfoot to the canvas ..

Heavyweights always put on a good show.

 - at least the best of them do. Cain and Bigfoot never failing to fit into that category. UFC 160 was no exception. Bigfoot went into the octagon with all the confidence you can hope to have going into a title fight. Fresh off his TKO win over Dutch kickboxer Allistair Overeem at UFC 156, Bigfoot looked as though he was ready to step with Cain.

Bigfoot's Mistake: Overeem is no Cain.
