    Lil' Nog vs Franklin off as Lil' Nog is injured. Nog brothers seem to be getting injured a lot lately. Franklin waiting on a replacement.

    Franklin pulled from the card. They could meet up as the co-main event @ UFC 138.

    UFC 138 taking place in England. Chris Leben vs. Mark Munoz will headline the card.

    With that headliner, I expect it to be free.

    Pics from todays press conference between Rampage and Bones Jones.

    Rampage stared down and noticed Jones was doing his look away like he always does, and then turned and joined him. :lol:

    Don't really adore the personalities of either of these guys. That being said, Jones got clowned.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Apparently, Jones is outraged at Rampage and mad that DFW keeps calling him Kid. I won't lie, I like watching him fight, but I'm quickly getting sick of his ego.

    I don't think Rampage has anything more than a puncher's chance--but I hope that punch lands.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Mark Munoz vs. Chris Leben is supposed to be the 1st 5 round non-title fight main event.

    I don't know if that is a good idea? Couldn't Munoz lay on him all fight?

    Don't understand the impetus behind the 5-round NTF. Less time should equal a more frenetic pace.

    They need to book those main events carefully to avoid LNP.

    Munoz is getting well-rounded and I suspect he'll submit Leben in the middle rounds.

    After the way Page fought Evans and Machida (held back, slow start in both) I don't know if he can even last the first round with Jones.

    That is what I'm thinking. I really hope I'm wrong, though. Jones' ego needs to be checked. He's trying way too hard to be loved by the fans, too. Kind of reminds me of Rashad in a way.

    Think it is just a phase with JJ. Doesn't know who he wants to be right now.

    Way I figure, the wrestlers are going to LNP no matter how long the fight is. If it gives them the best chance to win they'll do it. But adding two rounds stands the fighters up two more times and provides more time for the non-wrestler to find a sub. Also gives the advantage to the better conditioned fighter.
