Riki Fukuda is a Dream and DEEP veteran, who made his UFC debut against Nick Ring early last year. Most believed Fukuda had done more than enough to win all three rounds, however the judges shockingly awarded the fight unanimously to Ring. Over one year later, Fukuda is finally making his return.

Steve Cantwell came over to the UFC as the reigning WEC light heavyweight champion, however he has failed to find much success. He currently finds himself on a four fight skid, and his drop to middleweight in his last fight did him no help, as he was bloodied by non-striker Mike Massenzio in the second and third rounds of their affair.
Cantwell probably has more power in his strikes, and is possibly the better technical striker, however the grappling advantages lie squarely with Fukuda. His wrestling is both explosive and technical, and his submission game is more than strong enough to deal with any threats Cantwell might pose.
The Riki Fukuda vs Steve Cantwell prediction is that Fukuda controls Cantwell easily for three rounds using his superior wrestling, and up to -300 a small play is definitely warranted. I worry slightly that Fukuda will allow himself to get into a slugfest, however Cantwell’s power isn’t that great, and Fukuda’s wrestling advantage is just so big that it’s hard to imagine him losing this.
Riki Fukuda vs Steve Cantwell Betting Conclusion: Fukuda’s wrestling should be the difference maker, and at -300, a small play [3 Units] is warranted.
