    Could this be a move to get Vitor a shot against Anderson come NYE or the Super Bowl card?

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Considering Belfort has no fights at middleweight in the UFC I doubt they let him skip line and get right at Silva now. This is two (or perhaps more) canceled fights in a row. He is not coming off a 12-15 month layoff and getting into the cage with Silva. Bad for business.

    lol. A rather odd move, but definitely a marketable fight. I bet that is why Dana did it. He can sell that as a New Year's main event.

    Belfort being healthy makes a difference.

    Don't get the hype behind Bader... every fight he starts like a house on fire, gasses, then shows little skill.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Totally agree. Hes certainly good for his age but I don't see really great ability from him right now. Not saying he can't be great at some point but I would not put him on Jon Jones' level right now nor as a prospect.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Shane Carwin is planning on returning at UFC 125, no opponent rumoured (though Roy Nelson seems like a good candidate).

    Guess he expects the whole federal steroids deal to blow over, or at least still be stalled.

    Carwin vs. Dos Santos would also make a lot of sense.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Sean McCorkle (that witty son of a bitch who is quickly becoming one of my favourites) hinted on Twitter that he will be fighting on the NYE card as well.

    Might see him vs. Struve.

    MMA Fighting is now reporting Roy Nelson is the most likely opponent.

    With Jon Jones fighting Darth Bader, Forrest Griffin is now being lined up to fight Rich Franklin.
