    Spinal fracture? Yikes

    Belcher has horrible luck with injuries

    Why the change of heart from being staunchly anti-female MMA?

    Sucks for Belcher, but if hes back in November then I suppose its one of those injuries which is less serious than it sounds(?).

    DW was never anti-female MMA, he just says there aren't enough good girls to make up a whole division in the UFC, which is still the case.

    Chael Sonnen dropping hints that some big news about him is going to be coming down in the coming hours or days. A lot of internet speculation that it is a matchup with Machida @ 153. Sonnen is currently scheduled to fight Griffin I believe on the NYE card, but its looking more and more that Chael will get a bigger fight before then. With the hits on 153, this makes sense, too.

    Honestly at this point I wouldn't mind seeing Machida choke him out and retire him.

    Boetsch has been on a weird winning streak, I think Weidman handles him.

    There is a rumor that Forrest Griffin is out of his fight with Chael Sonnen @ 155 in December. According to MMAjunkie, Rampage is going to fill in for Forrest. However, the link has been removed from Junkie's homepage. Weird? Acting too soon? Bad news? Unconfirmed? Would be sick though, both guys can't stand each other. I would love that fight.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Yushin Okami vs. Alan Belcher deux on tap for UFC 155.

    I like this strategy from the UFC--book ten good fights, so even if half drop out, still have a good card.

    Too bad they don't do it for every event.

    Anderson Silva is a 13-to-1 favourite over Stephan Bonnar. Getting into joke territory on those odds.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Is anybody watching the newest season of TUF? Is it worth covering here?

    I didn't watch the opener. Not terribly interested in The Smashes (UK vs. AUS) or the new Indian TUF they are doing, either.
