What's happening this weekend...

Friday:

This weekend—

--FCFF Rumble at the Roseland 55 will take place at the Roseland Theatre in Portland. Former DFCC fight team member Jeremy Jones will be fighting for the 170 title. Good luck Jeremy! I hope you tear it up!

--Strikeforce Columbus: Dan Henderson vs Rafael Calvacante for the 205 title and Marloes Coenen will defend her 135 title vs Liz Carmouche.

You can watch the Strikeforce event on Showtime this Saturday at 7pm. I predict Henderson on this one and I also believe Coenen will successfully defend the women’s title.

--Bellator 35 at Tachi Palace: Kicking things off in the Welterweight quarterfinals will be Judo vs. Judo as “Judo” Jim Wallhead and former Judo Olympian Rick Hawn clash for a spot in the semifinals. This Judo matchup will either make for a barnburner or super boring fight. Either way, I’m tuning into it. There are some other good matches on the card for the quarterfinals.

My prediction for the finals is Rick Hawn and Jay Hieron. At the end, I hope to see Rick's hand being held up and the tournament champ. Go Judo!

Looks like Bellator did a deal with MTV2. The show will start on that channel at 6pm.

Also on MTV2 be sure to watch the “Female” Bully Beatdown episode at 5pm. I don’t know about anyone else…but I’ve been anxious to see this.
