My Take Radio

The great month of MMA con­tin­ues with  Ulti­mate Fight Night 21 as well as the pre­miere of The Ulti­mate Fighter 11: Lid­dell v Ortiz. Takanori Gomi aka The Fire­ball Kid was the last Light­weight Cham­pion for Pride and makes his Octo­gon debut against the always excit­ing Kenny Flo­rian. I have always been a Gomi fan from his Pride days, sim­ply because he’s had excit­ing fights. Here are my picks for the main card:

Main Card

• Light­weight bout: Kenny Flo­rian vs Takanori Gomi — I never take Flo­rian lightly, and even though I like Gomi his weight cut looked tough and I don’t know how he will adjust to the cage. Ken Flo wins
• Heavy­weight bout: Roy Nel­son vs Ste­fan Struve — Struve wants to stand with Nel­son and I am sure Roy will gladly do so. I see Roy tak­ing it to the ground and smoth­er­ing him. Big Coun­try is tak­ing this one.
• Mid­dleweight bout: Nate Quarry vs. Jorge Rivera — I like both fight­ers and Quarry seems ready to go to war. I am gonna go with Rivera though because I am see­ing an upset. Rivera Wins.
• Light­weight bout: Ross Pear­son vs. Den­nis Siver– Ross Pear­son made a fan with his last UFC per­for­mance and I think he’s going to con­tinue run­ning through light­weights. Pear­son Wins.
