Current Fight Card:
Frank Shamrock Vs. Cung Le
Gilbert Melendez Vs. Gabe Lemley
Drew Fickett Vs. Jae Suk Kim
Mike Kyle Vs. Wayne Cole
Joey Villasenor Vs. Ryan Jensen
This event has seen a lot of changes since it was announced. Jake Shields had to pull out due to injury and most recently Nick Diaz was not cleared to fight by the California State Athletic Commission (CSAC) due to his medicinal use of marijuana. What had the potential to be a very entertaining night of fights has now turned into a possible pleasant surprise at best. A few name fighters remain as do many questions. Which Frank Shamrock will show up for this fight? The dominant legend who dispatches mediocre talent for a living or the ring master of his own MMA circus that draws disqualifications when in unfavorable ground positions? Will Gilbert Melendez recent first career loss have any lingering effect? Can Joey Villasenor continue to climb the ranks for number 1 contender status at Middleweight or will having his opponent changed 3 times before the fight ruin his preparation? Will Mike Kyle's recent, year long suspension overshadow his opportunity to dominate an opponent on a national stage? Does anyone really care about Drew Fickett fighting a Korean no one has ever heard of? The answer to these questions and more can be found by tuning into Showtime at 9pm eastern, this Saturday. I will post a blog tomorrow strictly dealing with breaking down the fights worthy of wagering. Thanks for your time.
