    Early reports indicating that the UFC is planning on having Ben Henderson defend his belt on FOX again, this time against Gil Melendez. The thing is Melendez isn't a UFC fighter yet and there are some hurdles to jump before that fight can be signed.

    As expected light heavyweights Alexander Gustafsson (15-1 MMA, 7-1 UFC) and Gegard Mousasi (33-3-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC) will headline an April 6 event at Stockholm's Ericsson Globe Arena.

    Gotta figure this is a title eliminator for Gusto, possibly for Mousasi as well.

    Anderson Silva's camp still don't want to fight Chris Weidman. Rumour is they are asking for Cung Le.

    What the hell did Cung Le do to deserve a title shot?

    Dana needs to put his foot down here. Yeah, Anderson is probably the #1 fighter of all time, but Weidman should be the #1 contender and deserves a shot. Rumor is that Dana is waiting for the Rashad Evans/Lil Nog fight to make a final decision because Evans would be willing to drop down to fight Anderson.

    Supposedly they also agreed to fight Michael Bisping (before he lost) and Luke Rockhold. I mean, is Luke Rockhold better known than Chris Weidman at this point? That's an even more obscure opponent. Seems like they are ducking Weidman.

    ^ Speaking of fights that don't make sense, Cheick Kongo vs. Roy Nelson booked for UFC 159. WTF?

    Also, Vinny Magalhães and Phil Davis added to that event.

    I think Nate deserves someone a little higher up than SF import Thompson.

    And Kongo/Roy? Good night, Kongo.

    Bisping vs. Belcher announced for UFC 159

    Perfectly reasonable, sensible fight to book--which means it will probably fall out due to injury

    So disappointed by Belcher's last fight.

    Not gonna lie, for some reason, I really want Weidman to win that fight.
