For the main event we have a special Kimbo Slice vs Ken Shamrock prediction
Andrei Arlovski vs. Roy Nelson
In his last fight, Andrei Arlovski (14-5) proved that former IFL standout Ben Rothwell was not quite ready for prime time in spectacular fashion. Now, another IFL veteran in the form of Roy “Big Country” Nelson (13-2) will attempt to prove that he has what it takes to conquer the top heavyweights in the world, starting with a rejuvenated “Pitbull”.

Pats Prediction: More likely, however, is that Arlovski’s years of experience and superior speed and manueverability enable him to pick off Nelson with powerful shots en route to a round 3 stoppage. – Arlovski vs. Nelson odds
Benji “Razor” Radach (17-4), coming off a nine month layoff, jumps headfirst back into competition, squaring off with the always-dangrous Murilo “Ninja” Rua (16-8-1). There is no question how this fight will be fought, as both men are accomplished strikers who will be looking to score the knockout from the opening bell.

Pats Prediction: In the end, I think Ninja’s years of losing to top competition will finally pay dividends in the form of a second round KO. Rua vs. Radach odds
Jake Shields (21-4-1) and Englishman Paul “Semtex” Daley (18-6-2) are set to face off in a classic grappler vs. striker showdown, a formula that might be intriguing were it not for the titanic gap in skill between the two fighters.

Pats Prediction: If he took down and submitted a fighter like Nick Thompson so easily, poor Paul Daley does not stand a chance. Shields by submission in round 1. – Shields vs Daley odds
The biggest question surrounding Gina Carano’s (6-0) return to action is not whether or not she will win, it is whether or not she will have to forfeit part of her winning purse for failure to make weight yet again. Carano, the face of women’s MMA, is light years beyond her competition. Unfortunately, the gap in skill is only matched by the gap on the scales on weigh-in day.

Pats Prediction: Carano is simply on another level from the other women in the fight game, and will no doubt prove it with a bloody TKO in the second round. Let’s just hope that this time, she gets to keep her entire purse. – Carano vs Kobald odds
