Kevin Randleman VS Mike Whitehead
Both men are coming off pretty lengthy sabbaticals from the fight game, Randleman hasn't fought since 5/2008 and Whitehead since 10/2008. the truth is this fight has all the ingredients of a snooze fest. However We could also see a nice stand up battle with each guys wrestling abilities cancel the others out. Each guy has 5 KO's on their record. With the most notable being Randleman's Flash KO of Cro Cop in early 2004. Whitehead seems to have a habit of coming up short in his biggest fights and well Randleman has lost 7 of his last 10 fights. In the end Randleman's long layoff and lack of submission defense is gonna be his downfall.
Whitehead by Submission.
Joe Riggs vs. Phil Baroni
At one time both of these guys were considered top contenders in the UFC. Oh how the times of changed. Baroni hasn't fought in the UFC since 2005 and hasn't won a meaningful fight since Pride 32. Sure he's won his last three fights, but they were all against guys with losing records and his last fight went to a decision against a guy whose record was 8-11. Riggs has alternated wins in losses in his last five fights and hasn't shown the potential everyone including Dana White thought he had since a hard fought victory over Nick Diaz at UFC 57. Even after all that this fight could steal the show. Someone is definitely gonna get knocked out. I think Baroni has been in more wars and probably has more power but that being said those wars may have taken their toll.
