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. In the same evening there will be also the Strikeforce lightweight title at stake between Gilbert Melendez and Tatsuya Kawajiri: “El Nino” Melendez (18-2-0) is
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. But before the main event, thee will be the semifinals of the Bellator Lightweight Tournament: the first one between Lyman Good and the undefeated Rick Hawn, the second one between Toby Imada and Patricky Freire, protagonist of one of the best MMA fights of 2011 (at Bellator 36 – Freire vs McCullough).
The best MMA’s events of the week is organized once again by UFC, and has focused on the main event Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Phil Davis. Nogueira (which is the twin brother of Antonio Rodrigo “Minotauro” Nogueira) does not fight for six months, when he was defeated by Ryan Bader (UFC119), instead Davis has never lost and he could take advantage of his early age (younger than 8 years).
This is the full fight card of the UFC Fight Night 24:
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira vs Phil Davis
Dan Hardy vs Anthony Johnson
Amir Sadollah vs DaMarques Johnson
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. It is not easy to predict the result of the fight between Shogun and Jones (valid for the UFC Light Heavyweight Championship) since the U.S., despite not having too much experience is a tough fighter and is younger than six years. 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
The “UFC on Versus: Kampmann vs Sanchez” has not been a very exciting MMA event, starting from the main event Martin Kampmann vs Diego Sanchez, as well as in the other fighting.

The best MMA event of the week should be “Strikeforce Feijao vs Henderson” scheduled for Saturday, March 5. The main fight will be Dan “Hendo” Henderson vs Rafael “Feijão” Cavalcante and will be valid for the Strikeforce light heavyweight championship.

This Strikeforce event will be broadcast live on Showtime (10 pm ET / PT, delayed on the West Coast).
