Live on Saturday June 13, 2009 the UFC will be held in Germany for the first time at the Lanxess Arena in Cologne. The main event of the night is between two MMA stars in Rich “Ace” Franklin (26-4) squaring off with “The Axe Murderer” Wanderlei Silva (32-9-1). Both fighters have held Title belts, Franklin in the UFC for the middleweight division and Silva in Pride for the middleweight division. We can expect them to give us a great main event as both fighters always leave it all in the Octagon come fight night.
Also on the card we have heavyweight stand out Cain Velasquez (5-0) taking on the crafty vet Heath Herring (28-14). If Cain can manage to get past “The Texas Crazy Horse” he has a very bright future ahead of him. Velasquez is taking to the game very quickly and getting better everytime he fights. We may also see Mirko Cro Cop (24-6-2) once again in the Octagon after a disappointing 1-3 in the UFC taking on Mostapha Al-Turk (6-4). This would definitely be his last try if he is to lose. Another exciting fight we will see is between Marcus Davis (21-5) against English stand out Dan Hardy (21-6-1).
Dont forget to get your bets in on time. The fights start at 3:00 p.m. E.T. Saturday June 13.
