    The bout agreement between Sonnen & Silva has been signed. They will headline a card in May.

    Re: UFC 173 (May/24)

    Woodley vs Rory Mac being targeted for UFC 174. I'm assuming its a title eliminator.

    Feijao is 2-2-1 in his last five. I'm not sure I understand that booking.

    MacDonald vs. Woodley is interesting. I wouldn't pick Little Mac in that fight.

    Hendricks getting surgery really gums up the works. Was hoping for Mac/Condit and Hendricks/Woodley.

    GSP tore his ACL in training. Dunno if it's the same one as before. A 2014 return now looking very unlikely, if it wasn't already.

    I think GSP's body might be shot. He seemed to struggle with his first ACL tear, this one will likely be just as hard.

    I think Rory will get dominated unless he can wait til Woodley gasses.

    As for the Cormier fight, I think DFW is set on him fighting for the title, so I think he'll get an easy fight to remain contender and get the winner of Gus and the champ.

    Agree with the GSP assessment, it is tough especially for Georges because he relies so much in his athleticism.

    As for Woodley and R-Mac matchup, I expect it to be pretty entertaining; R-Mac has shown that he is tough fighter to stop.

    Alexander Shlemenko picked up his 50th win and third title defence the other night. Storm is proof you can have a great career in MMA outside of the UFC.

    Four events scheduled in April for the UFC. Busy spring.

    Hendo vs Cormier targeted for UFC 175.

    Henderson is the P4P baddest mother fucker in MMA. Win or lose, his resume is out of this world.

    The timing of that rumour is dubious. Like you said that would mean Hendo is fighting in the middle of the summer (4th of July weekend?) which isn't his typical routine.

    There are going to be a lot of "funny" announcements tomorrow. I almost don't even want to go on the internet.

    Gina/Rousey set for 175? It smells like April fools.

    According to DW, they're also considering Hendo/Bader.
