I'm all for rematches but I want to see GSP get in there with someone else in the meantime.

I don't know if this is really going anywhere. If the NSAC doesn't come up with much they won't do anything, and I don't know if III will attract as many people as II did.

Amir and Hermes are injured, they have been replaced. Jeremy Stephens is in for Franca, and I forgot who is replacing Amir...

I'm a big Mac Danzig fan. I don't know what all this vegan stuff is but I read an interview and he didn't seem like a prick about it, so that was refreshing...

Wanderlei Silva will move down to 185 lbs for his next fight. Even if he has some cardio issues from the drop in weight, I still would put him in the top three in the UFC's Middleweight Division behind Anderson Silva and Dan Henderson. He just could not take the punches at Light Heavyweight anymore. When he was younger, he ate a few shots each fight and kept coming forward. At Middleweight, he should be able to withstand most of the strikes without being concreted (obviously A. Silva and Dan Henderson's right hand are exceptions).

The move also will put some excitement back into the Middleweight Division. He's a real threat with his size and knockout power. Anderson Silva has made a living beating up guys who couldn't knock him out with a sledgehammer. Against Wanderlei, he'd at least have to respect his striking.

They should put Wanderlei against Yushin Okami first. It would make perfect sense. The UFC doesn't want Okami to be successful, but he keeps winning. Let Wanderlei knock him out then you don't have to cave in and waste an Anderson Silva fight with the inevitable beating he'd give Okami. Plus, Wanderlei has a long history of pounding the hell out of Japanese fighters.

Good point, I think demian maia is one of the top middleweights in UFC and should fight one of those three if he defeats sonnen in his next fight.

Me thinks he needs to eat some meat. He hasn't looked good at all in last two fights.

Good card with some good subs and ko's. I was watching with tw3nty and he said something about Stephens looking good and I said to wait and that Lauzon would catch him and he did.

Is it just me or is Neer an enormous 156. Mac put up a good fight but just couldn't finish it. I was expecting a stoppage when Neer was raining those elbows but Danzig didn't want to quit just then... Would have liked to see a win

According to GSP Penn is a chapter in his book that he isn't turning back to. And he shouldn't.

I really wanted to see Lauzon lose, so maybe he'll get another shot at having his butt handed to him be Ken-flo again.

Looks like Frank Shamrock is making his way back to the ring and taking on Nick Diaz. Shamrock should have this covered, though Diaz usually puts on a good fight, so it should be something to watch.

Anyone going to the Arnold Grappling Championship in Ohio?
