The fightcard for UFC 121 is filled with lots of exciting match-ups. Not only on the maincard but also on the undercard. But most importantly it has the Danish fighter Martin Kampmann fighting Jake Shields as the co-main event.
The main event for this fight is Brock lesnar vs Cain Valsquez, and as any other card with Lesnar in it, this one is almost guaranteed more than a million PPV buys, and that is going to mean massive exposure for the other fighters on the card.

Mikkel Guldbæk will meet former UFC fighter at Fight Arena 20
The Danish veteran Mikkel Guldbæk is taking on his toughest opponent yet in one of the biggest fights in Denmark. His opponent Nissen Osterneck(7-3) has fought in both WEC against Jake Rosholt and in UFC where he lost a split decision to Jorge Rivera.
Nissen Osterneck is very high caliber grappler training with Relson Gracie and with a jui jitsu record of 64-4. Osterneck is also training kickboxing with the former muay thai world champion Maurice Travis.
Guldbæk on the other hand is one of veterans of Danish MMA and has fought in MMA for over 10 year.
Despite the fact that he has won several kickboxing titles, Gulbæk has still won most of his fights by submission.
This fight is really a tough one to call. Both fighters has a tremendous amount of experience, Both fighters are skilled grapplers and they both have a good stand-up game. Guldbæk has a lot to win with this fight, Osterneck on the other hand has just won a title in smaller promotion in Brazil and a victory in a show in Denmark is not going to help much with in plans of getting back in to the UFC. There is still no doubt that both athletes are going to train their asses of for this fight, but Guldbæk might want the bit more that will ensure him the victory.

Rasmus Bendtsen to fight Hyram Rodriguez at Fightergalla 15
Rasmus Bendtsen from Fight Pit i Herning steps in to the ring again at Fightergalla 15 on september 11..
Bendtsen is especially known for his stand-up skills, so we are going to see a classic striker vs. grappler fight. Bendtsen says that he is going in there to "hit his head of" and predicts that Rodriguez will try to get him down into his element.
My predictions is that Bendtsen will be able to keep it standing and will have an edge there. Rodriguez is a very athletic fighter and if the fight goes to the ground he is good at ending up in the right positions, so Bendtsen will need to watch out. If he is able to follow his game plan I see him winning this fight.
