    Kenny Florian wants to come back in May against Anthony Pettis. Who the fuck does he think he is? What puts him above Soto and Miller in the division?

    Yeah Kenny needs to cool out with these title shots. He's not getting that fight unless it isn't for the strap.

    With Edgar/Maynard 3 going down at UFC 130 we might actually see Pettis/Whoever on the same card. Two lightweight title fights on one card to set up a unification bout? Sounds kind of interesting.

    Update: Clay Guida somehow the most likely fighter to face Pettis. Uh, what?

    Showdown Joe is reporting that Hominick will get the title shot at UFC 129 if he beats Roop.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Supposedly Hominick was offered the Aldo fight already but had to decline due to a broken hand-- that's when the shot went to Grispi before Aldo pulled out also due to injury. Since then Grispi lost to Poirier so now Hominick is the frontrunner. They probably should've canceled his fight with Roop. The back up seems to be the winner of Mendes/Omigawa.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Lesnar vs. dos Santos expected to go down at UFC 131, the same week as the TUF 13 Finale.

    Carwin still rumoured to be fighting on that card but no word on a possible opponent.

    Very interesting. I love JDS but it seems like a bad matchup for him.

    Wanderlei Silva vs. Brian Stann in the works. Silva wants to fight in Toronto but DFW has just said they are working on booking the fight for spring.

    Hominick/Aldo is going to be one hell of a fight. Somebody is going to sleep.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Hominick looked phenomenal. Basically walked right through Roop's attacks and landed everything with power and precision. Should give Aldo a great fight.

    Re: UFC Ultimate Fighting Championship [Upcoming Events]

    Florian chiming in on Guillard, saying that Melvin doesn't deserve a title shot and isn't a top contender. Also think Melvin needs to get through him to get to top contender status.

    Kenny is really spewin' some shit lately trying to keep himself relevant after Dana fucking owned him at the press conference after his last fight.

    Note to Kenny--you fucking suck when something is on the line. BJ fucked you up and Maynard dominated you. You're just a glorified gate keeper now. I'm hoping you lose a few in a row so the UFC cuts your ass. Not because I don't like you--but because your brother is just as bad as Rashad's wife.

    Kenny probably thinks Melvin is easy prey.

    The fight kind of makes sense, too.
