drwal serati
Tomasz ‘Travolta’ Drwal (14-2) and UFC newcomer Ivan ‘The Terrible’ Serati (10-2) will be facing off at UFC 93 at the O2 Arena in Dublin, Ireland, on January 17 according to Fighters Only magazine.

Drwal was last seen at UFC 75: Champion vs Champion where he was stopped in the second round by the vicious Thiago Silva. That loss snapped a thirteen-fight winning streak that dated back to 2004.

“Travolta” has a well rounded arsenal and only two of his fights have gone to a decision.

Opposing him is the Italian slugger Ivan Serati. “The Terrible” is fresh off a brutal knockout of Claudio de Silva at the August 30 No Limits MMA event that saw him win is fourth straight.

Serati is a powerful striker and has ended seven of his ten wins by (T)KO.

UFC 93 is headlined by the monster showdown between Rich “Ace” Franklin (24-3) and Dan “Hollywood” Henderson (23-7), two of the world’s most elite 205-pound fighters. Also featured is the return of Mauricio “Shogun” Rua as he takes on UFC pioneer Mark “The Hammer” Coleman.

It is the first-ever event for the promotion in the region, airing on pay-per-view (PPV) at 10 p.m ET.

Stay tuned for more UFC 93 fight card updates.

Don’t get me wrong, I wanna see Hendo and Frankling but its kind of a lame main event for a PPV. Probably still watch it though.

This is probly the first fight on the undercard. It’s not that bad of a matchup.

If it goes into the second round Serati will gas. He has no Cardio. Drwal only needs to survive the first few minutes then he should get a win easy.

This fight is a guaranteed slugfest. Should be brutal. (As in brutal K.O.)

I like Ivan to take this one for sure. And I agree that Ace and Hendo should not be a main event. There is no reason that the UFC should have a PPV and not have a title fight on it, they have enough divisions.

Also…”two of the world’s most elite 205-pound fighters.”
I think that is a typo, it should read 185-pound fighters. Hendo just barely makes it into the top ten, and Ace is not a top ten 205 pound right now. Stick the Ace v. Hendo on the Couture Lesnar card.

This will for sure be Rich Franklin’s toughest opponent besides silva… ever… I really have a hard time getting on the Rich Franklin love train when the guy has NEVER beat a SINGLE top contender… just go wiki “rich franklin” and look at all of his opponents, not one is a top contender… he seems like a nice guy and all but i think everyone gives him way more credit than he deserves
