UFC 111 is due to hit screen on the 27th of March 2010 and features the return of highly dominant Welterweight champ George ‘Rush’ St-Pierre taking on Dan ‘The Outlaw Hardy’ in the main event. Also backing up the solid main event is an interim Heavyweight title battle with Heavyweight contenders Frank Mir taking on first round knock out artist Shane Carwin in what is sure to be an explosive and heavy handed battle.
Throw in Ben Saunders coming off his impressive stoppage of Marcus Davis, John Fitch taking on Thiago Alves for a second time and Jim Miller squaring off against Mark Bocek and you have a pretty entertaining card for UFC 111.
Personally i cant wait to see the two headline fights, St-Pierre is near unstoppable but if previous efforts are anything to go by the pre fight hype will be worked to the maximum by Dan Hardy who always has a way to get into his opponents head.
Frank Mir Vs Shane Carwin should also be a great fight, and while Cain Velasquez is waiting in the wings, either of these guys has the power to win via KO and earn a shot at returning champ Brock Lesnar. With Mir recent fight against Kongo we saw knock down power and dangerous submissions, but will Carwin continue his run of first round KO’s and light Mir up, this is definitely going to be one fight you won’t want to blink during.
