    Actually I could see Walker taking the fight, though I don't expect Strikeforce to arrange it. Coleman wins the fight, IMHO.

    Last I heard, like Bautista and Lashley, Walker was done with Strikeforce because Zuffa doesn't like novelty fights.

    BJ goes from Fitch to Shields lol. Shields with crappier stand up and wrestling but watching BJ and Shields roll could be fun.

    Don't think we'd see it. Penn can avoid being taken down and will box him up. Shield's only hope is to drag the fight out, wear on him in the clinch, and try and smother him in the 3rd-5th rounds.

    John Hathaway has decided now is the time for him to call out BJ Penn.

    Don't exactly know what he is thinking. He got handled by Mike Pyle and only recently picked up a split-decision win vs. Kris McCray.

    Jon Jones' dopey agent (the one Matt Mitrione famously fired in a post-fight interview) says that Jones is willing to fight Rashad Evans whenever. Jones has been irked by fans claiming he's ducking or avoiding Evans lately after he decided a) to have surgery on his hand despite it not affecting his performances then b) deciding not to have surgery but still denying Evans' his title shot.

    Zuffa will let Nick Diaz box if he wants to, but rumour has it Diaz has been offered a title unification match with GSP in Montreal in early December (~UFC 140).

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Brazilian officials are pushing the UFC to move Jose Aldo vs. Chad Mendes from UFC 133 to UFC Rio. Makes sense.

    133 still has Evans/Davis and Franklin/Nogueira, two main-event type fights.

    Bit of a risk putting Silva & Aldo against good wrestlers back-to-back. Could make for a long hour.

    More injury woes: Jose Aldo out of action until the fall. Proposed title bout with Mendes postponed.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Aldo claims that the medical suspension he was handed by the Ontario Athletic Commission means he can't begin training until May 30th. With UFC 133 scheduled to take place on August 6th, it gives Aldo a window of ten weeks to prepare which apparently isn't enough. He says that the UFC isn't interested in putting on two title fights at UFC 134. He is NOT injured but I don't know how they plan on scheduling his fight with Mendes now.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Jon Jones thinks he'll be good to go for October but named Machida and Jackson as possible opponents. Should he beat Phil Davis, Rashad Evans would still have time to make that fight vs. Jones. Maybe more mind games going on?
