This weekend the UFC and the Versus channel join forces once again to bring a stacked card of MMA action. In the main event we have Jon "Bones" Jones vs Vladimir "The Janitor" Matyushenko. Jones is coming off a strong performance against Brandon Vera were he blasted Vera with a devastating elbow that caused three facial fractures. Vladimir is also coming of a win were he was able to win a split decision against Eliot Marshall. Both these fighters last fights were part of the first ever UFC on Versus fight card in Broomfield Colorado . Valdimir is coming into this fight with lots of MMA experiance. He was the first and only IFL light heavy weight champion. He also has fought in Affliction were he lost to Antonio Rogerio Nogueira via TKO. He did get a win at Call to Arms 1 defeating Jason Lambert via unanimous decision. The Janitor has a great wrestling background and comes with power punching in the right hand. The Janitor has a lot more experience than Jones but that has not stopped Jones from being the next big thing. The way I see this fight going is Vladimir trying to take big shots at Jones while trying to move in to get the take down. Now if he decides to do that there is a problem. When Vladimir throws his punches he kind of leaves himself open for a counter blow. Jones is very capable of sneaking in a quit shot that will rock the Janitor's closet. Vladimir does have top shelf Olympic caliber wrestling so if he can get his arms on Jones it could make a long night for the young gun. With that being said Jones does take his opponents down with great Judo reversals and he typically ends up on top were he rains down devastating elbows and punches to end his opponents night. So this fight can go any way but the technical superiority and quickness of Jones I think will be to much for the Janitor. I see Jones winning in the 2nd round by TKO. In the Co-Main Event you have the Filipino Wrecking Machine Mark Munoz against always dangerous Yushin Okami. I am looking forward to this fight. It will be interesting to see if Okami can stop Munoz from taking over this fight. Okami is no joke and he will be looking to finish the fight. On this night we also get a chance to see if the Fire Ball Kid Takanori Gomi can bounce back from his loss to Kenny Florian and get back to winning as he faces the always exciting Tyson Griffin. This card is packed with great fights and match-ups so don't forget to tune in.
