    If he can get the fight to the ground, which is a huge if obviously, he has a chance to make this interesting. I realize Matt Hamill couldn't, but I believe Vladmir is as good of a wrestler as Matt Hamill or maybe even better. I am interested to see how Gustafsson can do on his back.

    Rumour that Zuffa don't want Showtime to renew their soon-to-expire deal with Strikeforce, hence stealing all their champions, so they can absorb the promotion into the UFC in 2012.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    I assumed the UFC also purposely secured the TV deal with Fox before Showtime had this option just to make things more complicated. At this point I would be happy to see the UFC pick up what talent they can salvage and get rid of SF. Sad to see SF go (though realistically, it was "gone" when the UFC bought it) and especially sucks for the women fighters. That will be Bellator's gain though, I imagine. Ultimately I trust Dana despite a near monopoly on the market and the whole UFC and SF existing separately is just awkward.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Fabricio Werdum wants to return to Strikeforce in December. Whether they'll have a fight for him I dunno. He's also open to returning to the UFC which I think would be fine given they match him up with other grapplers and wrestlers. Putting him against strikers with any take-down defense is pointless. He's about as useful as a one-legged man in an ass kicking contest otherwise.

    Machida vs. Davis for UFC 140, supposing Davis' knee is ready by then.

    Sounds like Davis isn't going to be ready in time.

    Other options include Jackson, Griffin, MOUSASI, and Gustafsson (cancel Matyushenko fight).

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    So are the UFC and Golden Glory all made up now? I thought Alistair only came over because he left Golden Glory.

    I've always liked Mousasi but that would be a terrible matchup for him. Hes got awful TDD and not much of an athlete.

    EDIT: Whoops I got mixed up there and thought it would be Davis against one of those guys listed above. Mousasi-Lyoto would be a great matchup.

    Not as far as I know. A few fighters defected from GG but the others seem to still be shut out.

    According to Dana White, the UFC will put on a live show in Vegas the same day as the UFC Japan event. Asked how that would work, he coyly said "you'll see". Uh, what?
