The MMA event more interesting of the weekend (Saturday, April 9) is organized by Strikeforce, which main event is Nick Diaz vs Paul Daley. Diaz (24-7-0) doesn’t lost since 2007 and defends for the third time his Strikeforce welterweight title (his second defense, against Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, is one of the best MMA fights of 2011), but the American fighter has to be careful because Daley (27-9-2) is a very dangerous opponent with 20 fights on 27 won by knockout.

The most important MMA event of the weekend is the BFC Bellator Fighting Championships 39. The main event of the evening is Eddie Alvarez vs Pat Curran, fight valid for the Bellator Lightweight Championship; the favorite is Alvarez, who has only two defeats in his career on 23 fights and has fought in tournament like “DREAM” and “K-1 Dynamite” in Japan.

Chan Sung Jung vs Leonard Garcia
Saturday, March 19, backs the Ultimate Fighting Championship (128) with the main event Mauricio “Shogun” Rua vs Jon Jones. Both are among the top 10 mma fighters in the Light Heavyweight division, Rua hasn’t fought for almost a year (UFC 113), while Jones has fought just a month and a half ago, defeating Ryan Bader.

But the UFC 128 could be very exciting thanks to the first fight in 2011 of Urijah Faber that fights against Eddie Wineland, thanks to the the undefeated Kamal Shalorus that will face Jim Miller and the always spectacular Mirko Cro Cop Filipovic versus
