PREVIEWING THE STRIKEFORCE CHALLENGERS 8 PRELIMINARY CARD

By David Tees on 5/20/2010 2:07 PM
Strikeforce Lightweight Division Fight

Pro Escobedo (1-0-0) vs. Jason Sharp (1-0-0)

Pro Escobedo will be making his Strikeforce debut in this fight, but he is a veteran of the Full Contact Fighting Federation. While in the Full Contact Fighting Federation, Pro Escobedo had defeated Nick Stacks by way of knockout. It has been over two years since Pro Escobedo last had an MMA fight, so cage rust can become a factor in the fight. Pro Escobedo will be looking to use his striking skills to win the fight, with his lone MMA victory coming by knockout. Jason Sharp will also be making his Strikeforce debut in this fight, but he is a veteran of the Full Contact Fighting Federation. When he competed in the Full Contact Fighting Federation, Jason Sharp had defeated Gordon Morales by TKO. It has been over two years since Jason Sharp last had an MMA fight, so cage rust can become a factor in the fight. Jason Sharp will be looking to use his striking skills to win the fight, with all of his MMA victories coming by knockout.

My Prediction: Pro Escobedo

Since the remaining fights on the preliminary card are amateur MMA fights, I will not give full fledged previews to those particular fights, but here are my quick picks for each fight…

* Blaine Macintosh over Ben Morgan

* David Lloyd over Jay Schafer

* Patrick Whittington over Jason Lambert

* Hamza Salim over Lee Flores
