    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    UFC working on a Lesnar/Mir III headliner for UFC 140 (despite fans being bored with the idea before, the UFC thinks it's good business to shove it down our throats anyway), or Lesnar/Overeem if they can get that going instead.

    Might also be a good time for the return of Mark Hominick.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Rumor is Lesnar gets to pick his comeback fight and wants Mir. I guarantee it'll be his last fight in the Octagon. He doesn't like to get punched in reality and with two major health scares since going to the UFC, I bet he wants back to the WWE. I wouldn't mind seeing Mir/Lesnar III if indeed it is Brock's last fight.

    Rumor also has Overeem making his debut @ 140.

    Machine has the cast off his hand and is hoping to return at the ACC event in December, as expected. He was supposed to fight Korean Zombie--still a good match-up if they can get it going.

    Pablo Garza vs. Dustin Poirier is the first fight announced for UFC on Fox in November.

    Supposedly the show will only be an hour long?

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Confirmed, just one hour, and deliberately so to lead-into the Manny Pacquiao fight rather than go up against it. Regular full-length shows begin in 2012. This is like a sneak preview.

    Prelims will be on Fuel.

    No word on which two fights will be on the hour broadcast. The UFC will try and stick exciting guys in three-rounders I'm sure.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Brock Lesnar's return has been pushed back to January. He won't start training until next month. He's done nothing since his surgery and will need a few months just to get into shape before a proper camp can begin.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    So we'll watch some fights on Fuel and then jump over to Fox for the two main fights?

    Maybe Facebook, then Fuel, then Fox, similar to how they have it with Facebook, Spike, and PPV now... I suppose.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    As expected, Josh Koscheck returns at the UFC 139 show in San Jose. Rumour is he is moving up to middleweight, at least for this fight. I wonder if another Leben fight could be far off?

    Don't know if Stephan Bonner can make 185; that fight is possible given their recent feud.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    Still no word on whether Jon Fish will be fighting Rick Story. The latest has Kampmann/Story instead. Another possible opponent could be Rory MacDonald but that fight would seem to put MacDonald on the fast track a bit early.

    ^ Bonnar vs. Kingsbury also announced.

    Guess Bonnar/Koscheck isn't going down.

    Re: UFC/Strikeforce fight rumors and announcements

    After poking around and seeing that there's pretty much nothing else out there, Cris Cyborg Santos has re-signed with Strikeforce. Ronda Rousey is a possible opponent but she recently told Ariel Helwani that she thinks she's three-four fights away from a chittle tot.

    Carwin and Mir are both keen on greeting Alistair Overeem in the Octagon. Carwin says Reem's UFC contract is almost finished.

    There may be a countdown-type show on FOX in October getting viewers ready for the November debut.

    Still no word on what the fights will be.
