    If I knew someone was going to retire me I'd want a nice going away gift as well.

    I think the UFC did it wrong. It should be Wanderlei/Hendo III and Belfort/Sonnen

    Dunno what Wand's contract says but I dunno how he can change the terms like this. Guess he's just making noise to see if the UFC will budge.

    Kevin Iole, of all people, is giving the UFC shit for letting Vitor camp out in Brazil. Kizer said he won't give Belfort an exemption to use testosterone replacement in Nevada. Presumably the other commissions would follow suit. Dana White is furious at the accusation.

    Wand is ridiculous.

    I like Kevin Iole calling out the UFC.

    Might just be his way out of the fight?

    Maybe he got tired of being called a shill?

    Problem is when you go against the Don you lose your press pass.

    Wand can't sit here and bait the fans with a Wanderlei fight and when it is all set to be official, ask for more money. The guys has made millions of dollars. Sonnen is one of the biggest UFC draws, you don't see him asking for more money. I just don't like this reluctant attitude at the last minute. Wand is a fight legend, not used to see him holding out like this.

    As for Vitor, he brings up a good point. Dana says they aren't hiding Vitor in Brazil but like you pointed out, NSAC has stated they wouldn't commission him. It puts Dana in an awkward spot. I think Dana should have at least put Vitor on one of the upcoming PPVs to call the bluff of the NSAC.

    Why is Vitor being targeted by the NSAC and not other known TRT (ab)users?

    He has a failed drug test on his resume. It's like he's got a criminal record.

    Yup, Vitor has failed drug tests on record but I think part of it has to be his performance. He looks better now than he has in his prime. That isn't normal. You don't see Hendo and Chael looking better now than in their primes.

    Belfort/Hendo II is official. God, I hope that H bomb lands.

    So Kennedy gets Machida and Jacare gets Okami? How does that work? Kennedy would've been fighting Belfort, too. Jacare's gotta run through Okami to get his place back.

    Sonnen vs. Wand looks off, Sonnen vs. Phil Davis at UFC 167 possible. Sonnen angling for some of that sweet PPV share GSP guarantees.

    Matt Brown's next fight will be against cagey Tarec Saffiedine in December. Sensible fight for all involved.

    Good news/bad news:

    Good news: TJ Grant isn't forgotten about and will get the next lightweight title shot
    Bad news: Anthony Pettis' MRI results were unclear and he's undergoing further testing to see if he's injured his knee


    Ricardo Lamas, on the other hand, seems forgotten about

    UFC returns to Australia on Dec. 21, and heavyweight Mark Hunt will be on the main event of the Fight Night card.

    Sources close to the situation told MMAFighting.com that Pride veteran Mark Hunt has verbally agreed to meet Brazilian heavyweight Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva in a five-round battle in Australia on Dec. 21, but the city or venue for the event has not been determined. Combate first reported the news.
