Nate Marquardt is looking for a big time reboud fight, and a fighter like Rousimar Palhares should provide a fight that will allow Nate the Great to get back into contention.  Rousimar is tough, but hasn’t really put it all together.  Nate has and should dominate this fight in all aspects.

Efrain Escudero looks good everytime he fights, problem is that he doesn’t always win.  Oliveira is undefeated and looked very slick in his UFC debut and won submission of the night at the last UFC Live just over a month ago.  There is upset potential here  and at +155 worth taking the dog.

Jim Miller is a good bet vs Gleison Tibau.  Tibau isn’t very good IMO.

And Finally we get to see Ross Pearson back in action.  This kid is good and definately won’t have any trouble with Cole Miller.  I’m sure Miller probably has a 1ft reach advantage, but it won’t matter.

Kimbo Slice joining the Ultimate Fighter 10 cast!

June 2nd, 2009admin

Woah, huge news as Kevin “Kimbo Slice” Ferguson will be joining the all heavyweight Ultimate Fighter 10 cast.  That season will feature Quintin “Rampage” Jackson vs Rashad “Sugar” Evans.  I hope Kimbo makes Dana White eat crow, after all the nasty words that Dana said.  Namely “Kimbo sucks!”  Should be a good one.  Too bad Bobby Lashley is not going to be on this as well.

You can bet on whether Kimbo Slice makes it to the Ultimate Fighter Final at Sportsbook.com
