LowKick.com UFC Live: Sanchez vs Kampmann predictions
Main Event:
Martin "The Hitman" Kampmann vs Diego "Nightmare" Sanchez
Top Prediction: Sanchez via Decision
Daniel Cassidy: This is a definite contender for fight of the year, with two of the most exciting and explosive Welterweights set to lock horns in the main event. While Kampmann is clearly the better striker, Sanchez will have an advantage in the ground game, looking to utilize his superior wrestling.

LowKick.com Strikeforce: Diaz vs Cyborg predictions
Nick Diaz (c) vs Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos
Daniel Cassidy: While Cyborg might not be of the same calibre as the Strikeforce Champ, he is a veteran who deserves the shot as much as anyone over there. While Cyborg will look to stand, Nick is clearly the better striker. I expect Diaz to pick up the win relatively easily, using his effective boxing before looking for the bigger shot to finish it and leaving as he enters, the Welterweight Champion. Diaz via R2 TKO.
Anton Gurevich: Unlike KJ Noons, Cyborg
