MMA's Stars Collide

Quinton "Rampage" Jackson (current UFC champ) and Dan "Hollywood" Henderson (current Pride champ) will be fighting each other in this weekends UFC light heavyweight championship.

This weekends bout is the stuff of MMA fantasy, UFC's best vs Pride's best, there has been more debates than you could count on which organization retains the strongest fighters. When Pride went belly up this spring and UFC bought them out we were promised these kinds of fights. There have been a number of Pride fighters who have made the jump, but without Fedor coming stateside to fight Couture nothing has been as big as the fight this weekend. That and its not even on pay per view, its free on Spike TV (9pm EST), so if you are a cheap MMA fan or never really got into the sport this is an opportunity to see the best light heavyweight fighters in the world throw down.

As a side note my friend Kevin (GetSomeMore) is a trainer/instructor at the MMA Institute here in Richmond, VA. If you are interested in training or at least just seeing what MMA is all about give them a ring (or email I guess).
