    The UFC's (Dana's) obsession with quick rematches continues. The last fight wasn't close. Velasquez was a milquetoast champion (in terms of personality). Are they trying to get the belt off of Werdum?

    What confuses me the most is why was Werdum also pushing for an immediate rematch? To me, it seems like even he was discrediting his victory.

    I think he was talking about it before the fight, even. Hespek, maybe?

    Or is he afraid of Overeem?

    IMO Cain didn't handle the altitude well and certainly did not look like himself. I think this rematch has a very different outcome.

    Cain's career has been destroyed by injury. What could have been one of the all time GOAT's is going to go down as one of the all time WHAT IF's!

    I hope Stipe wins!

    Werdum has withdrawn. He has a foot injury but was going to fight through it until Velasquez withdrew.

    Sorry, Stipe.

    Wonder if they move Holm/Tate up to give this one a main event?

    Josh Barnett has offered to fight Stipe in a makeshift main event.

    Yeah. Hendricks vs. Thompson is a good fight but not one people will pay for. Even if they cobble together Stipe vs. Barnett it's still going to sell like ice to Eskimos.

    I wonder if moving Bader vs Rumble would enhance this card enough to make it PPV worthy?

    I think they need to just find Stipe someone else and keep him in the card too. Just not Josh Barnett as he should now headline the Fox event.

    Hendricks vs. Thompson promoted to main event

    If they sell 50,ooo PPV's on the back of such a weak main event they'll probably be happy

    The UFC has moved this event to FOX Sports 1. Smart move.
