UFC 146 marks a heavyweight title bout where bad blood has been running strong between the two competitors for weeks now.
In the main event, reigning 265-pound champion Junior dos Santos takes on a former champion in Frank Mir.
Will Mir definitively put himself in the Hall of Fame conversation, or will JDS prove he is going to stay on top of the heavyweight division for quite some time?
Kicking off the main card will be two very entertaining heavyweights in the form of Stefan “The Skyscraper” Struve and “Big” Lavar Johnson. Don’t leave your seat during this one, because these two fighters know how to finish a fight.
Next up, two undefeated prospects clash in the form of “No Limits” Shane del Rosario and Stipe Miocic in a bout with some serious bragging rights on the line.
In a tough match-up to predict, the third fight on the main card pits fan favorite Roy “Big Country” Nelson against Dave “Pee-Wee” Herman in a bout where the loser could very likely be given his walking papers from the UFC.
In the co-main event, another former champion in the form of Cain Velasquez takes on Strikeforce import Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in his Octagon debut.
Predicting Saturday’s action are Bleacher Report MMA Featured Columnists Dan Hiergesell, Dwight Wakabayashi, Matt Juul, and myself, John Heinis.
Check out who will be walking away victorious on Saturday night.
