MMA - UFC Fight Night and Bellator 183

Well, well, well, we don't get just one free event this weekend, but we will get two!

UFC Fight Night (Japan) will be free on FS1, and of course Bellator 183 will air free on Spike TV as usual. And, between the two, we might have just enough entertainment where we feel like we got a free PPV. We'll have names like Okami, Saint Preux, Roy Nelson, Ben Henderson, Lorenz Larkin, Gomi, Daley, Hyun Kim, and Andrade, so there will be no lack of past, present and future talent on display this weekend.

Bellator 183

In my opinion, I am a little more excited for the Bellator card than I am for the UFC card. The fight I am most looking forward to is the Lorenz Larkin vs. Paul Daley. Semtex is 6-2 in his last 8 fights, and has racked up 5 KO or TKO stoppages in those fights. This guy brings the "bombs" if you will. Lorenz is 4-2 in his last 6 with wins over UFC stars like Neil Magny and Jorge Masvidal. I expect nothing but highlight real footage from these two monsters, and they didn't even rate Main or Co-Main event status!

The Main Event for the Bellator card pits long time UFC standout and former champ Ben Henderson against yet another Freire brother. He recently beat Patricio by TKO due to an injury, and now will fight Patricky Freire. This fight, also should contain plenty of highlight reel footage, but since his loss to Anthony Pettis, it just seems like we haven't quite ever seen the old "Smoooooth" Ben Henderson.

The Co-Main Event for the card features another UFC defector in Roy Nelson. Roy hasn't necessarily been lighting up the win column, but he continues to entertain. He will be Javy (Javier) Ayala. Javy has been impressive in his last 8 fights compiling 4 KO/TKO, and 2 submission stoppages against only 2 losses. With that said, even an old Roy Nelson will be his toughest test to date, so we will see how Javy handles the big light, and Big Country!

The remainder of the Main Card for Bellator 183 is as follows:

Ben Henderson vs. Patricky Freire
