    The next TUF coaches are set to be Roy Nelson and Shane Carwin. Nelson is a charmer but Carwin has the personality of a glass of water.

    Rashad Evans doesn't have a fight booked officially but he will be on Testosterone Replacement Therapy when it happens.

    At this point you'd be a dummy not to try and get a TUE.

    I know, knock on wood, but the UFC 153 main card's looking nice.

    153
    Junior dos Santos (c) vs. Cain Velasquez
    Jose Aldo Jr. (c) vs. Eric Koch
    Vitor Belfort vs. Alan Belcher (title eliminator)
    Glover Teixeira vs. Quinton Jackson
    Erick Silva vs. Jon Fitch

    Rashad Evans might be fighting Chael Sonnen at middleweight next, per Ariel Helwani.

    Rory MacDonald suffered a cut on his head in training and is out of his fight at UFC 152, sadly, according to Ariel Helwani. Bummer.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Another bummer: Junior dos Santos has turned down Cain Velasquez as his next opponent. He'd rather wait and fight (trash talker) Alistair Overeem. NYE?


    Cung Le vs. Rich Franklin will headline Chinese debut

    I don't like JDS turning down opponents. He hasn't been champ long enough. He took the belt from Cain. Cain worked his way back to contention with a dominant win while Overeem was popped for roids.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    That looks pretty damn nasty.

    Frank Mir wants to wear UFC gloves in his Strikeforce bout.

    I think a lot of people are overlooking Dan Henderson, including Dana White, and deservedly so. He's a major underdog and I think Jones is going to have an easy time winning a UD or getting the sub victory, but it would make for one amazing storyline if Hendo landed that right hand.

    Yeah, I just don't see it. Hendo's reach disadvantage is going to be massive.

    If GSP won't go to Anderson, then Silva is contemplating going to him. He's thinking about vacating the MW title and moving down to 170. Do I think he can make that cut? Hell no, but more props too him if he can.

    Koscheck out of 151. Well fuck balls, that blows hardcore.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Jake Ellenberger is expected to get a new opponent, possibly Mike Swick or Siyar Bahadurzada.

    Rory MacDonald wants to move the BJ Penn fight to Montreal, Penn isn't having it (he wants to fight in October in Minneapolis or Rio). The fight may never happen.

    Jon Fitch and Bahadurzada are both campaigning to fight Penn in Toronto.

    Lol, Jay Heiron in for Koscheck. Jesus what a shitty fight that became. Heiron's head might go flying into the 6th row. So the card has become Hendo vs Jones headlining a TUF Event card for $55.

    Looks like they're trying to get Ellenberger another highlight reel KO.

    Yeah, terrible card on paper. Really banking on the main event.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    speeds do you think the UFC has stretched itself thin with all the cards they've been having? Hendo/Jones is a hell of a fight name wise, but should be a one sided beatdown come fight time if things play out like expected. Why isn't there a better headliner for this event. Kind of frustrating as a fan to shell out top dollar for shitty PPV's.
