Two things are certain to me in this fight: (1) it's not getting out of the first round, and (2) in the words of 50 Cent, "Somebody gon' get laid the *&$@ out."

Lawler has a distinct advantage on the ground; think of the advantage Usain Bolt has in the 100m dash... against me. Everyone and their mother knows that Manheof is tough on his feet and suspect on the ground, which means taking him down and earning a win should be Lawler's plan of attack.

Something tells me that isn't going to happen. Robbie Lawler likes to trade. He likes to bangs. It might even be fair to say that he likes getting punched in the face. The problem with that course of action against the debuting Dutch striker is that he has dynamite in his hands.

One of those fist-sized powder kegs will connect, and Lawler will be left looking up at the lights.

Cristiane Santos (8-1-0) vs. Marloes Coenen (17-3-0)

Coenen has more wins, a better ground game and is more attractive by conventional standards than the female "Cyborg."

Unfortunately, this fight has nothing to do with records, isn't a grappling match and, as witnessed last August, looks don't win you a fight. Especially not against Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos.

Until further notice - and I recommend this for everyone - if "Cyborg" is fighting, pick her. She is unquestionably the most devastating female fighter on the planet. Megumi Fuji may be collecting submission wins, and Sarah Kaufman is on a tear of her own, but "Cyborg" simply overwhelms her opponents and leaves them broken.

The 145-pound title will remain around her waist for the foreseeable future.

Nick Diaz (20-7-1, 1 NC) vs. " The Whitemare" Marius Zaromskis (13-3-0)

Here's a question for you: Why does Nick Diaz get so much love? While he is unquestionably entertaining and a tough kid, the elder member of the Fightin' Diaz Brothers hasn't beaten any on top-tier talent.

Not to play Revisionist History Professor or anything, but his five-fight winning streak is made up of a self-professed journeyman (Scott Smith), an over-the-hill former champion (Frank Shamrock), a regional journeyman who lost to Pat Miletich in 2008 (Thomas Denny), a guy who can't buy a win in the WEC Lightweight division (Muhsin Corbbrey) and Katsuya Inoue.

Zaromskis may not be the top of the heap either, but he's been putting people to sleep as of late, utilizing his devastating head kick to finish Ho Bae Myeon, Jason High and Hayato "Mach" Sakurai in his last three contests.

While Diaz is certainly the more recognizable name, he's never been a knockout artist, and Zaromskis is tough enough to stand in front of Diaz and take his best offerings. Then he'll load up a head kick and have Scott Coker wrap the Strikeforce Welterweight title around his waist.
