Slow MMA news day.  What fights should I be looking forward to this weekend aside from the obvious on Diaz vs Daley card?

Douglas Lima vs Terry Martin - MFC 170lb title
Ryan Jimmo vs Zak Cummings - MFC 205lb title 
Ben Askren vs Nick Thompson - Bellator 170lb non-title 
Brent Weedman vs Jay Hieron - Bellator WW tourney semifinals 
Mike Chandler vs Lloyd Woodard - Bellator LW tourney semifinals

Or something else?   For me I would say Askren vs Thompson. Really like what Askren has done so far and excited to see him against a veteran well rounded guy.

bellator 40 has a lot of interesting match ups. Though i doubt we will get to see Askren tested more then he has last season. His style boggles my mind, its crazy how good his wrestling is for how nonathletic, uncoordinated and un technical he is. We will see how much he has evolved since holding down Good for 5 rounds. 
its always exciting to watch heiron, and both the MFC title fights should be fairly competitive.

Well between April 4-10, I'm looking forward to, aside from Strikeforce and Bellator.

I'm mostly keeping my eye on the following:
* MFC 29
* Ring of Combat 35 (for what it's worth)
* RESPECT.FC 5
* Shooto Gig Saitama 3

Jimmo seems to always be in entertaining fights, Martin's striking has always been good and i'd like to see which Terry Martin shows up for this fight. In a way he reminds me alot of Pat Barry, only older and kind of floundered his career. I don't see Askren/Thompson being all that exciting cuz of Ben's amazing wrestling and like everyone keeps saying - BELLATOR continues to deliver amazing fights, flying knee KO's and submissions that people rarely see are constantly happening. I have yet to be disappointed.

Bellator as a total card, but like someone stated, I really want to see which Terry M. shows up.

Weedman/Hieron should be great!

Brent Weedman vs Jay Hieron
Mike Chandler vs Lloyd Woodard

These two! Chandler v Woodard looks to be very exciting and doubly interesting because I am pulling for the upset (Montana FTW)  and I expect Weedman to be totally outclassed by Hieron, I believe that Hornbuckle won.
