This Saturday July 11th, will be a huge night for fight fans. Showtime will be airing their number one pride and joy fighter, the exciting knock out artist, Vic Darchinyan. He will be going up in weight to the bantam weight division to fight Joseph Agbeko for the IBF title at the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise, Florida.

It is also the very same night that the long awaited much hyped, UFC 100 will be taking place at the Mandalay Bay, in Las Vegas on PPV.

For the last several years the UFC has been promoting and hyping up this glorious 100th fight event that they have been promising to be bigger and better than any other fight event held so far.

UFC President Dana White has put the promoted "Most Powerful Man in all of MMA" Brock Lesnar up against Frank Mir once again as well as George St. Pierre against Thiago Alves. These are two of the biggest names in UFC fighting on the same card, but not exactly in what many would consider super mega fights.

In all seriousness there could be a good chance that Vic Darchinyan vs Joseph Agbeko could even be more exciting and competitive than UFC 100 for both of these boxers are both prime fighters who have about a 80 percent high knock out percentage on their records. Agbeko has never been stopped in all of his twenty six fights.

The Darchinyan vs Agbeko fight is free if you already have Showtime on your cable bill where the UFC fight will set you back about fifty bucks, but then again every sports bar and their mama will be showing UFC 100 so it will probably cost you a beer and a basket of cheese fries instead.

I can guarantee that I almost know the answer to this question already, but which fight event will you be watching? Showtime's Darchinyan vs Agbeko or UFC 100?

Will UFC 100 live up to the much hype that it has been generating for the last several years?

Will Darchinyan stop the man known as "King Kong" who has never been stopped before to hopefully set up the biggest best fight that Showtime can put together: Darchinyan vs Donaire II?

There's only one way to find out right fight fans?
