Evans vs Henderson June 15, 2013

The main event of UFC 161 goes down this Saturday night (or early Sunday morning) when Rashad Evans tangles with Dan Henderson.

The card is not the most superstar one in the archives of the organization. However with struggles like Dan Henderson vs Rashad Evans, Shawn Jordan vs Pat Barry and Stipe Miocic vs Roy Nelson set to go down on 15th of June night, that's not a fight you would like to pass.

Henderson vs Evans should allow us a fine opinion of who is going to left in the title image at 205 pounds. Nelson will once reattempt to show that he is suitable in the heavyweight title image and Pat Barry, He just puts on excelent games.

Most fans and pundits seem to be leaning toward Evans to get back in the win column over Henderson, a fighter who is a decade Evans' senior.

Both men have wrestling bases and strong punching power. Should be interesting.

Here's a round-by-round recap of the action, updated as the fight unfolds.

Brazil vs Japan June 15, 2013

Despite some experimentation with Neymar at center forward earlier in the year, he'll play in his normal wide forward spot for Brazil in their Confederations Cup opener against Japan. The Japanese have decided to pick no true center forwards in an attempt to get their best team on the field, opting to play regular wide forward Shinji Okazaki -- who has plenty of experience at striker and 33 goals for his country -- up top.

Luiz Gustavo gets a bit of a surprise nod in the center over Fernando. Sandro, Romulo and Ralf are all absent from Brazil's roster for the competition for various reasons. Japan's team contains no other surprises.

Brazil starting lineup (4-3-3): Julio Cesar; Marcelo, Thiago Silva, David Luiz, Dani Alves; Luiz Gustavo, Paulinho, Oscar; Neymar, Fred, Hulk

Japan starting lineup (4-2-3-1): Eiji Kawashima; Yuto Nagatomo, Yasuyuki Konno, Maya Yoshida, Atsuto Uchida; Makoto Hasebe, Yasuhito Endo; Shinji Kagawa, Keisuke Honda, Hiroski Kiyotake; Shinji Okazaki

Kickoff is at 3 p.m, ET from the Mane Garrincha national stadium in Brasilia.
