    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    UFC 153, probably to be held in October, will mark the UFC's return to Brazil. After the lack of brand name fighters on this weekend's card expect the UFC to try and make good.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    TUF Brazil is getting a second season. Shogun & Machida were rumoured to be the coaching choices last time around and are probably still the frontrunners given the lack of competition between Brazilians in other weight divisions. The closest they could get is maybe Werdum and dos Santos, but Velasquez is the top contender.

    Remember when Roger Huerta was a UFC golden boy?

    Here he is getting his head kicked in by Zoro Moreira in Malaysia for his sixth loss in seven fights.

    JDS vs. Velasquez pushed back, possibly to October show in Brazil. Sorry, Toronto fans.

    Vitor Belfort also expected to fight on that show. Dunno if it will be against Wand.

    Is BJ accusing another "Tri-Star" member of using steroids?

    The UFC have reportedly signed welterweight BJJ ace Gunnar Nelson. No word yet on when he will debut or who against.

    Michael Bisping is looking to fight Alan Belcher or Brian Stann next. Stann has called him out. I'm sure Belcher would take the fight as well. Sounds like something that will be set up soon.

    Donald Cerrone and Anthony Pettis to coach the next season of TUF, as per the latest rumour.

    Though I like both fighters the goal seems to be to have even less viewers next time around.

    Scheduled to fight Pascal Krauss at the Nottingham show.

    Also added to the Nottingham show is a barn-burner between John Hathaway and John Maguire.

    Donald Cerrone vs Melvin Guillard booked for UFC 150! That should be a barn burner if Melvin doesn't get submitted.

    Joseph Benavidez vs Demetrious Johnson will headline UFC 152 for the first ever UFC Flyweight championship fight.

    Brian Stann vs Michael Bisping will co-main event (I'm assuming to determine the #1 contender to AS if Lombard somehow loses to Boetsch).

    Where does this leave Weidman?

    Gotta think MacDonald-Penn will be the co-main for the Toronto show over Bisping-Stann.

    Weidman will probably fight Lombard (supposing Lombard wins).

    Cerrone & Guillard were teammates at Jackson's at one point, no?
