Sean Sherk vs Frankie Edgar is going to be a very intriguing match-up between two wrestlers. The winner of this could very well be in line for a title shot against the winner of BJ Penn/Kenny Florian. There is going to be a huge size difference in this one as Sherk could be fighting at Welterweight and Edgar I think would probably be best be at Featherweight. Sherk needs to use that size to his advantage and bully Edgar to the ground. Edgar has good wrestling so the takedown won't come easy, but I think it will happen eventually and Sherk needs to take advantage of that.
Dan Miller vs Chael Sonnen is a fight that I should be more excited about, but I just can't get up for this fight. Both guys are very solid fighters and Miller especially has a long future in front of him. Maybe it's just because the middleweight division is so stacked and I am hung up on the top 5 or 6 guys, but this fight doesn't not do all that much for me. It will be Miller's submissions against Sonnen's wrestling. The difference I think could be that Miller advantage is more so (his submissions) than Sonnen's advantage (his wrestling)
The rest of the card does very little for me at all. The last fight on the main card, Foupa-Pokam vs McFedries does little for me at all. The only fight on the prelim that really interests me is Brock Larson vs Chris Wilson. Wilson is just coming off a robbery while down in Brazil so who knows what his psyche is at right now. Tim Hague is someone who has no business being in the UFC and Pat Barry should have his way with him. Phillipe Nover could be something down the line, but all he is to me right now is another Ultimate Fighter guy. Soszynski gets props for a quick turn around and steeping in on sort notice, but he could be in tough against Gusmao. And Yoshida will be looking to bounce back in a big way from that hilight reel ko at the hands of Josh Koscheck back in December.
