    If Chael Sonnen can outstrike Silva, maybe GSP can too?

    Dana White has basically confirmed that GSP/Shields will be on the Toronto card in April.

    I chalk that up to Silva having an off night more than anything. Sonnen whooped his ass, but Silva did damage, too.

    Nice step up for Schuab.

    I don't know if he's strong enough to keep Mir off of him, though.

    There is some talk over @ the UG of Struve/Lesnar being rumored.

    Please, for God's sake, don't do that to Struve. You'd quite possibly see the first death in the UFC. There is no way Struve can stop Lesnar's takedowns and once Lesnar got him down, he'd just pound the shit outta him.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    I like this fight. Lesnar-Mir III would have been way too soon and probbly for way too low of stakes. Good step up for Schaub and an interesting matchup.

    And yeah for the love of god don't send Struve in there with Carwin/Lesnar. Too big of a step up in competition and Dana was just railing Strikeforce for setting up fights where one guy has a huge matchup advantage- this one would be exactly that. Shit you could give him Yvel or Crocop and it would still be a moderate increase in competition level. I'd probably put him in there with one of those guys or Rothwell. Hes still only 22 years old. If you really want to step it up put him in with Nog.

    Sounds as though the event set to take place in Abu Dhabi has been moved to Newark, New Jersey instead.

    The UFC has a press conference tomorrow in Rio. They are expected to announce an August show in the city.

    Should be perfect timing for Anderson Silva to headline...

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Jim Miller vs. KenFlo possible for the UFC show in Toronto. Kenny called him out on MMA Live. Fight makes sense. Kenny is a gatekeeper now and Miller needs a win over a current/former contender to get the attention he deserves.

    However I'd rather see Kenny vs. Donald Cerrone or Kenny vs. Bendo.

    This is all hanging on whether Kenny's rehabbed knee is good to go by the end of April.

    Louisville, Kentucky is likely the site for UFC on Versus 3.
