TUF 13 Finale: Clay Guida vs. Anthony Pettis
Clay Guida is infamous for his long locks and constant head bopping around the octagon.
Anthony Pettis is known for his off-the-cage head cage against Ben Henderson.
They'll go head-to-head Saturday night June 4, 2011. Headlining as main event for the TUF13 finale.
Anthony Pettis takes on this challenge as he waits to unify the WEC lightweight championship with the winner of the Edgar vs Maynard III - still to be announced. It would be in his best interest to win convincingly against Guida (who was a former lightweight champion in his Strikeforce days) otherwise the future fight with whoever will be the UFC champ will seem ... for lack of a better word - dumb. If he can't get past Guida, does he really have what it takes to be a top contender in the division? Would he really be worthy of a title fight? Yes, I know he's the WEC champ but has he got what it takes to be a UFC champ?
Clay Guida as far as I know, has yet to be promised any considerations for an upcoming title fight. Will him winning this match secure him a spot as a top contender in the lightweight division? Guida has improved in all aspects of his game considerably since teaming up with Jackson's training camp. Standup, his striking is violent and relentless. His ground game is strong, controlled and submission ready.
I see this fight being a gruesome battle. All limbs available will be In-Use. Not one second of cautiousness as each fighter steps into the pocket to land their heavy blows. Pettis with his fancy leg work. Guida with his powerful takedowns. One things certain. Blood will be shed.

UFC: 137: GSP vs NICK DIAZ
Wednesday was a great day for UFC fans. It is official. GSP will put his welterweight belt on the line against Strikeforce's welterweight champ Nick Diaz. Taking place at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas for UFC 137! This is going to interesting to say the least.
Georges St-Pierre comes into this challenge undefeated since 2007. SO DOES DIAZ.
Surprisingly I think GSP has a pretty good idea of who Nick Diaz is and how he fights.
The heart in Diaz is strong, so don't count him out. I'd like for GSP to stop fighting so technical. I want him to fight from 'within', to be one with the octagon. Sometimes it seems there's too much thinking. Just fight GSP! Show us that this fight could live up to its expectations. Please don't disappoint me again. Thanks.

Surprisingly I think GSP has a pretty good idea of who Nick Diaz is and how he fights.
"I don't know him as a person but he's a very exciting guy to watch," said St-Pierre. "I'm happy to fight him. He's going to bring the best out of me, because he's always putting on a good fight, going forward. It's going to be a good fight for me."GSP, who just defeated Diaz's training partner Jake Shields, will have to come up with a foolproof strategy to get him through this one. Diaz's overall skill and fighting personality will be tough to control. GSP would need to find a way to control Diaz's ring aggression.

Raffi Torres gets one past Tim Thomas.
Will the Bruins be able to tie the serious next game? Or will the Canucks be the first canadian team in over a decade to bring back the Stanley Cup to Canadian soil?
