A round up of a great night of fights

Cruz vs. Faber II:
If you are a hardcore combat sports fan, yesterday was your day. On the other side of the world in Germany, the boxing match between Wladimir Klitschko and David Haye was one of the most anticipated heavyweight fights in recent memory. However, the bout didn’t live up to any of its hype leaving many fight fans disappointed. UFC 132 in Los Vegas on the other hand provided Mixed Martial Arts fans with plenty of action and the highest profile Bantamweight title fight in the

March 24th, 2007. That’s a day that changed Dominick Cruz as a mixed martial artist.

Many of us are already familiar with his famous twin brother “Big Nog” Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira, but there are many casual fans out there that are not familiar with “Lil Nog”.
In a career that spans 10+ years he has beaten the likes of Guy Mezger, Kazushi Sakuraba, and Alistair Overeem (twice).

When it was announced that Rashad Evans had injured himself and was unable to fight Shogun on March 19, the UFC brass scrambled for a replacement. In the end, we got the fight we wanted to see.

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. I think it will all come down to Sanchez’s wrestling, and I think he might struggle to put the
