Ever since the card came out a few months ago, every mixed-martial-arts fanatic has been impatiently waiting for July 11 to arrive. A day from now, it is going to arrive and millions of people will drop what they are doing to flock to the nearest sports bar or recline the lazy boy and press the buy button on their pay-per-view box.

With all these high expectations surrounding the three marque bouts, is there any chance for a letdown? Not a chance.

What can we expect out of this fight between two complete opposite fighters from the Ultimate Fighter captains?

Bisbing is going to be moving around a lot to try to avoid the one hit wonder power of Henderson who will be looking for the knockout and was quoted during the season of TUF that we could not wait for the fight to arrive to let his fists do the talking and shut Bisbing.

It will be an uphill battle for Henderson, as very few people have been able to figure out how to stop the quick onslaught of punches that Bisbing brings to table. As inaccurate as Henderson can be throwing his punches, it could be tough for him to connect with one to send Bisbing reeling.

However, if Henderson does manage to catch the fleet footed Bisbing with a punch, then it could be a short night for Bisbing, as Henderson is vicious on the ground and pound. I paid pretty close attention to the Ultimate Fighter, and a few fights that I have seen Henderson and Bisbing and it is really a toss up.

Since it is a battle of two different styles it is going to be the man who gets into the Octogon and asserts his style as the dominant one. If Bisbing keeps this fight off the ground, he will have a good chance to take the unanimous decision at the end of the fight, because I cannot see Bisbing winning by submission or knocking Henderson out.

Henderson is obviously looking for the knockout and if he gets the slightest chance to put Bisbing's eyes in the back of his head he will not waste the opportunity. Henderson also holds an advantage on the ground and if he gets the fight to the ground he can really exert his power and his ground and pound game.

This will be a tough one to win for Bisbing, and I am going to take the power of Henderson over the quickness and finesse of Bisbing. It is only a matter of time before the heavy hands of Henderson catch the darting Bisbing, and Henderson will win this one via knockout in the second round.

The next fight has the potential to be the fight of the night when the underdog Thiago Alves faces off against Georges St. Pierre. Alves is one the quickest rising superstars in the UFC and has been tearing through his division, landing knockout after knockout. He will be the toughest opponent that GSP has faced yet.

People have said, "Well what about BJ Penn?" Penn fights in a very similar way as GSP, but GSP is the best at what he does and is more powerful then Penn as he completely dominated him in the two fights they had against each other.

Alves will arrive at the Octogon a solid 20 to 30 pounds more than GSP, and as a result, GSP will be forced to rely on his outstanding technical skill to cancel out Alves' advantage in power.

Alves' stand up is fantastic, the knockouts that I have watched were just ruthless. Matt Hughes did not stand a chance and he is one of the better fighters to have fought in the UFC.
