To start the card is going to be Brett "Grimm" Rogers (8-0) vs. Abongo Humphrey (12-0) in a 3 round heavyweight bout. I see Roger taking this with a 2nd round KO.
Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos (6-1) vs. Hitomi "Girlfight Monster" Akano (14-5) fighting 3 five minute rounds at 140lbs. Cyborg should be able to take this in the first with a TKO. Pretty much a practice fight for the Gina Carano fight this summer.
Next is Scott "Hands of Steel" (14-5) vs Benji "Razor" Radach (19-4) for 3 round Middleweight match. This one looks a little difficult to call, but I'm gonna go with Scott Smith via unanimous decision.
For the Co-Main event was supposed to be Strikeforce Light weight champion Josh "The Punk" Thomson (16-2) vs Gilbert Melendez (14-2) has been scratched due to Thomson breaking his leg while training for the rematch. In lieu of Thomson is going to be Rodrigo Damm (8-2) for the Strikeforce Lightweight Interim Title. With his intense work ethic, I see El Nino taking it in an unanimous decision over the Brazilian.
And for the Main event Frank “The Legend” Shamrock (23-9-2) vs. Nick Diaz (18-7) in a three round 179lbs Catch Weight bout. Shamrock, who normally fights at 185lbs should be able to win the stand up and be able to use his size against the native Stockton resident. However a black belt under Cesar Gracie is nothing to over look, Diaz has a great BJJ game. Given the chance Diaz, who recently found his home at 160lbs, can submit just about anyone. As cliché as it may sound, it may come down to “Who wants it more.” Both fighters are extremely resilient, however I do believe that Diaz has more heart than The Legend. Given all the factors, I see Diaz winning via submission in the third round.
