    Jim Miller will fight Kamal Shalrous at UFC 128. He's getting the Jon Fitch treatment, now.

    Kenny Florian still expected to compete in Toronto but no opponent for him yet.

    Alex Caraces, aka Bruce LeeRoy, is back in the UFC and fighting Mackens Semerzier at UFN 24. Tough draw.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Brian Stann wants to fight Wanderlei Silva now that he's displaced Chris Leben. Dunno if it has the same drawing power but it could still be an interesting fight for the Toronto card.

    According to reports, Leben was pretty sick leading up to the fight, puking in the locker room. He did look bad last night, props to him for sticking with it and not pulling out of the fight.

    I think Stann/Wanderlei would be fun as hell to watch.

    Jon Jones doesn't like how Thiago Silva acted during his fight with Vera.

    Jones vs Thiago if he gets by Bader?

    I'd like to see Thiago/Rampage.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    As good as Jones is I don't think he should be talking about Silva, he should mind his business and focus on beating Bader.

    But yeah, winner of Jones/Bader vs. Silva makes a lot of sense.

    I think Silva would smash Rampage.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Jake Shields says he will try to find a way to get GSP down.

    Shocking, I know.

    He'd better. Otherwise he's going to get his face mashed and his legs kicked-off.

    I wasn't sure if GSP/Kos was going to be a stand-up battle. I didn't think Kos could pop back up as easily as he did. I am sure that GSP/Shields will be all kickboxing. GSP has no reason to go to ground with Shields and should be able to stuff his take-down attempts all night.

    BTW that boy better stop cutting his eyes at me. He's testing me and I'm about to pass (when I whoop that ass).

    He looks like fat Sam Worthington.

    LMAO.

    I don't think Thiago would handle Rampage that easily. Either way, I think that matchup makes the most sense right now for both fighters and I think Rampage is strong enough to bully Thiago. It would make a great co-main event.

    Silva/Rampage is a great fight. However I don't think Page is up to it. More likely Silva will fight the Jones/Bader winner (probably Jones).

    KenFlo was expected to try and get himself on the Toronto card but now a summertime return is his goal.

    No word on it, but with Chael's UFC suspension, it looks like Sonnen/Akiyama might be off.

    The fight didn't make sense to begin with.
