Here I am going to go over some interesting facts in regards to the two men in the main event of UFC Fight Night 128, this is going to an exciting card for a free to watch event, definitely check it out if you are not planning to do so already.

Firstly I'll show you each fight on the card and add a brief thought. We'll start with the first fight on the early prelims and work our way up to the main-event.

The young up and comer in Tony Martin against the the unteachable experience of Keita Nakamura. Great way to open a card.

I don't know much about these two guys as they have both only had one UFC fight, but from looking at some fight clips it looks like this could be exciting, it will probably go to a decision but maybe have some fun moments.

Both guys have not been in the UFC long, they've both had ups and downs and each has gotten a post fight bonus, I'd be surprised if this wasn't a great fight.

Jim Miller is trying the shake a three fight losing streak this Saturday, although he has his hands full in Dan Hooker, he's not a scrub by any means. Both guys will be gunning for the KO in this one.

I picked this fight as one of my three fights to watch this weekend, this will be a fight of night contender for sure, mark my words. I'm picking Johns to come away with the "W" in the end.

Both guys are seriously game, this will be middleweight madness.

The big boys are coming out for this one, I wouldn't expect this one to last more than a round or two.

I don't need to say a thing about this fight really, you already know. I smell a war.

The main event of the evening will be a technical showdown as I said in my previous breakdown of the fight, I'd expect this one to be a perfect mix of striking and grappling, in the the end I see Lee taking it, but honestly it could go either way.
