UFC 128: SHOGUN VS. JONES SPIKE TV CARD PREVIEW

The third part of the four card preview to UFC 128: Shogun vs. Jones card brings us to the cable TV home of the UFC, Spike TV. This card will feature the return of a former Ultimate Fighter finalist and the debut of a WEC fighter. While the Facebook card will begin at 8pm EST., the Spike TV portion of the preliminary card begins at 9pm EST.

Kicking off the card will be a lightweight encounter as Edson Barboza (7-0-0) takes on former WEC fighter Anthony Njokuani (13-4-0). Edson Barboza made an impressive UFC debut at UFC 123, defeating Mike Lullo by TKO after destroying him with leg kicks. Anthony Njokuani won four of seven in the WEC, with victories coming over Bart Palaszewski and Chris Horodecki. This fight is going to be an exciting striking battle, which is a battle that Edson Barboza is going to win.

Headlining the Spike TV card will be a light heavyweight fight as Luiz “Banha” Cane (10-3-0) takes on Eliot “The Fire” Marshall (10-2-0). Luiz Cane will be looking to stop a two fight losing streak at this event, but has won three of six in the promotion. Eliot Marshall is replacing Karlos Vemola in this fight, who was pulled from the fight after suffering an injury in training camp. Luiz Cane will be picking up the win with his better striking, plus the lack of preparation is going to hurt Eliot Marshall.
