My Take Radio

On Feb­ru­ary 6, 2010, leg­ends will col­lide as the UFC presents UFC 109 —  Relent­less live on PPV. Randy Cou­ture vs. Mark Cole­man is your main event. As an MMA fan, when you hear the nick­names “The Nat­ural” and “The Hammer” you know you are in for a good fight. This fight between two Vet­eran fighters, to me, is a make or break for Cole­man, given his recent string of oppo­nents. He’s cur­rently 1–1 in the UFC and a loss to Cou­ture would surely put his future in ques­tion, but if there is any­thing that has been learned in the past,  it is that leg­ends can never be counted down and out at any point. This fight has the mak­ings of being an instant clas­sic and given it’s his­toric nature (this will be the first time these two Hall of Famers have ever fought),  it will be watched by mil­lions of eager peo­ple, includ­ing me.

I am not mak­ing a pick on the leg­ends’ main event fight because it would be way too tough, but here are the other notable fights on the card as well as my picks (in orange):

Main Card

Mid­dleweight bout: Nate Mar­quardt vs. Chael Son­nen — Mar­quardt

Wel­ter­weight bout: Mike Swick vs. Paulo Thi­ago — “Quick” Swick is dan­ger­ous when he is focused. Going with Swick on this one.

Mid­dleweight bout: Demian Maia vs. Dan Miller-  I am a big fan of Maia. The guy has incred­i­ble tal­ent. I say Maia by Sub­mis­sion (of course).

Wel­ter­weight bout: Matt Serra vs. Frank Trigg — I am a big fan of both of these guys but I have to go with my boy from NY.  Matt Serra

Spike TV Card

Light­weight bout: Mac Danzig vs. Justin Buch­holz — Danzig

Light­weight bout: Melvin Guil­lard vs. Ron­nys Tor­res — Got to go with “The Young  Assas­sin” Guil­lard here.
