UFC 75: Champion vs Champion will take place from London, England and features a fight that is of “can’t miss” variety. Just three months out of winning the Light Heavyweight crown, Quinton “Rampage” Jackson takes on Dan Henderson who holds two championship titles in Pride Fighting Championships. Both fighters are devastating strikers and extremely well rounded but their strength’s are their wrestling skills.Henderson has not fought in the UFC since 1998 but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been one of MMA’s best fighters over the last decade. Making a name for himself in Pride, Henderson has a career MMA record of 22-5 and currently holds Pride’s Middleweight and Welterweight championship belts. In Pride, the Middleweight division has the same weight requirements as the Light Heavyweight division in the UFC so this fight will be the first unification title fight in MMA history. This isn’t the only fight of interest for this weekend’s card. Heavyweight Mirko Cro Cop will look to get back on the winning track after getting knocked out in his last fight by a devastating leg kick. The Croatian kickboxing specialist will square off against Cheick Kongo out of France. Kongo also specializes in Muay Thai kickboxing so these fighters will most likely both stand on their feet and trade blows. I think Henderson will win this. Rampage isn't near the wrestler that Henderson is, and if this thing goes to the ground its going to be along night for Jackson. In the heavyweight fight Cro Cop will absolutely destroy Kongo. Kongo has never fought anyone with the skills of Cro Cop. I think I could probably take Kongo!

I suck balls at predicting fights! Jackson beat Henderson at his own game and Cro Cop just plained sucked. Kongo is an "average" heavyweight and he dominated Cro Cop.
