    UFC 133 in Philadelphia at the Wells Fargo Arena on August 6th.

    UFC on Versus 5 announced for August 14th at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, WI.

    Gotta figure the Rufusport fighters will be well represented.

    Silva vs. Stann never official, not fighting at UFC 130.

    KenFlo dropping to featherweight, wants to be in the title hunt right away when he debuts in June/July.

    Good move for Florian. Hes kind of stuck being a gatekeeper at 155. Also he said in The Fighter's Mind that he barely cuts at all to make 155.

    You have that book too?

    I'm inclined to think Florian will be slow at featherweight. He's going to be 35 in May.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    No, I just checked it out of the library and read it last summer.

    Speed could be an issue but hes a really good LW as it is and he already seems tall lanky so he should at least have a size advantage over FWs. Speed will definitely kill him against Aldo but I don't know of anyone else at FW who seems that dangerous for KenFlo (though I'm not familiar with any of the FW or Bantamweight fighters after the top 2 or 3 guys).

    The Rogers Centre (SkyDome) and the UFC have put together this way-cool virtual arena for fans to see what the view will be like from their seats.

    Wanderlei Silva has called out Vitor Belfort. Silva must be sick of seeing that charging knockout in Belfort's highlight package.

    Matt Hamill vs Rampage Jackson @ 130. I really hope Jackson doesn't make fun of Hamill's deafness in the pre-fight hype.

    I was actually hoping to see this fight over Rashard again...just to see Hamill take another step up in competition. He's sloppy, Rampage should KO him.

    Vitor Belfort has accepted Wanderlei's challenge.
