Make no mistake, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson and Matt “The Hammer” Hamill are not only feeling the promotional pressure of another main event, they’re both well aware that as headliners, they’re expected to perform above and beyond all other participants. Given this specific clash of styles, it’s probably safe to assume these guys will indeed put on a show worthy of every cent invested in UFC 130.

That said, there are a few men who round out the rest of the bill who will certainly be looking to steal the show to earn a chance at more prominent broadcast placement and healthier paychecks. Those nightly bonuses never hurt.

While I expect Rampage and Hamill to put forth a furious effort, there are a few other clashes on the card that appear intriguing and certainly possess the potential to steal the show.

In a match of brute will and zealous drive, where two sweaty, yet focused individuals claw and bite for that extra advantage, ring girls present a nice relief for the eyes and the souls of viewers.

Female fighters, on the other hand, need no relief and become sexier with every vicious punch and high-pitched kick.

Aesthetically pleasing, these girls have a unique effect on the crowd as the two fighters seem inclined to prove their worth to the women walking around the ring.

One question still remains though.

Who’s sexier, the UFC or the Strikeforce girls?

Here is the match between Strikeforce and UFC girls.

Enjoy.
