    Pettis vs. Grant is next.

    Some MMA sites disappointed that there isn't an immediate rematch? Uhm, Benson didn't deserve one.

    I'd rather see aldo vs. Pettis instead of a rematch

    Why would Bendo get a rematch? He's lost twice. The second fight wasn't close. Ben needs to win at least two fights against top lightweights before he gets another shot.

    Bendo's confidence against Pettis has to be shot. I don't think he can beat him.

    Rashad Evans/Chael Sonnen set for 167, that card is pretty damn stacked. Love it.

    Is Rashad's wrestling good enough to keep Sonnen standing? If so, I see Rashad cruising to a victory. If Sonnen can take him down though, this could be Sonnen's fight to lose.

    Hard to say where Evans' wrestling is at. Seems like that will determine the fight. Not that Evans' striking is great lately.

    I think rashad owns sonnen. Rashad can wrestle better than sonnen and he doesn't have to worry about being knocked out. Sonnen has little power.

    No stanky leg.

    I think Frankie Edgar got everyone used to the idea that the LW belt is decided by best of a best of 3 series.

    UFC 167 gets another good one, folks -- Alistair Overeem vs. Frank Mir


    Sounds like a 'loser leaves town' type of match.

    Mir might get KO'd into the 5th row. Overeem is on a losing streak, but this is a gimme fight for him. Mir has no chin, Overeem by vicious KO in the first. Mir's chin won't be able to withstand the onslaught like Big Foot or Browne.

    The UFC's strategy should be to book about eight awesome fights for every PPV card with the expectation that half of them will come apart at the seams, leaving at least four.

    Re: Mir vs Ubereem, I dunno what will happen it that one. Could be Kongo/Barry 2. Neither guy has a chin and Reem has no tank.

    Is Nick Diaz still retired or is Dana actively looking for a fight for him.
