Fight of the Night: Michael Bisping vs. Alan Belcher

The UFC made up for putting together a lopsided main event by pitting Bisping and Belcher against each other in the co-main.  

Both fighters are in desperate need of a win to keep themselves in position to contend. Both fighters have contrasting stand-up skills and a track record of finishing opponents. What's not to like?

Belcher holds an advantage on the ground, but Bisping has near-elite takedown defense and doesn't get held down very often. This is an interesting clash of styles and a must-see fight.

Under-the-Radar Fight to Watch: Rustam Khabilov vs. Yancy Medeiros

Who?

Khabilov and Medeiros may not be the most well-known fighters on the UFC roster, but this should be a great fight.

The 25-year-old Medeiros is 9-0 with two wins in Strikeforce and six knockouts to his name. Khabilov is 15-1 and is coming off an impressive knockout (two minutes and 15 seconds) of Vinc Pichel at The Ultimate Fighter 16 finale.

Both fighters are capable of finishing fights, and the winner will be an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on in the lightweight division.

Fighter with Most to Lose: Phil Davis

Phil Davis has to feel the pressure coming into his fight against Vinny Magalhaes.

To this point in his career, Davis has only lost to Rashad Evans—considering Evans' reputation as a top contender, that's not a bad claim to make. Despite his impressive record, he'll be fighting a guy in Magalhaes who is dangerous but not widely recognized. A loss here would destroy his hopes of getting into the title picture.

Davis is an outstanding grappler, but Magalhaes is dangerous on the ground in his own right. He can't afford to take his opponent lightly on Saturday night.
