In what could be one of their finest efforts to date, Saturday's Ultimate Fighting Championship card at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas appears primed to deliver not only a hotly anticipated rematch with a belt on the line but a card full of interesting match-ups.

On this night alone we have the return of the Chute Boxe academy to the UFC, pivotal main card showdowns in the welterweight and middleweight divisions, and we'll probably get to see Keith Jardine (Pictures) punt Houston Alexander's head into the stratosphere.

Sports Illustrated may see the UFC as possibly being the future of American sports but the present is certainly a good time for mixed martial arts fans. So sit back, step away from the keyboard and get set to make a mental note of all my picks so you can make fun of me for them at a later date.
