  ESPN says that Cro Cop is going to fight Al-Turk, instead of the other guy! If so, that will be sweet!

  Cheik Kongo is a world class striker but it has always amazed me the lack of improvement in his ground game. A world class athlete should be able to transfer skills between disciplines. Vaelasquez is a world class wrestler which leads to a dominant ground and pound with a strong improving stand up. Is he the future of the heavyweight division? This is a strong early test. He could get knocked out but I would bet on a dominant victory by Vaelasquez if he commits to the takedown. If he wants to prove his striking prowless he may get knocked out.
