***The Official MMA Thread***

In September, I think.

 

there were early rumors of machida or tito replacing davis in ufc 133... but both have turned down the bout... haven't heard any new names... i wonder if dana will make a move with one of the strikeforce guys... like king mo or gegard mousasi???

 

Tito took the fight!!

 

yep, i saw that... he changed his mind.. im sure dana made it worth his while though...

 

Roy Nelson vs. Mirko Cro Cop at UFC 137 in October.

 

mitrione v. kongo... to meet in october... in vegas...

 

Carlos Condit vs. BJ Penn is being targeted for the co-main event at UFC 137.

 

Jose Aldo vs. Kenny Florian at UFC 136. It looks like it is confirmed now.

 

little nog out... dana looking for replacement to face franklin... new ufc on versus 6 added with wiman v. danzig and brenneman v. rumble johnson the first 2 bouts announced for that card...

 

Tom Lawlor vs. Chris Weidman at UFC 138.

 

overeem out of the strikeforce heavyweight grand prix... would not agree to the sept. date for the semis... daniel cormier has taken his place and will fight bigfoot in the semis... overeem may have also been given his outright walking papers.. though that hasn't been confirmed yet...

 

'
This is a big development.

 

looks as though overeem went into the tourney with only 2 fights on his contract... so the semifinal fight would've been his last contracted bout with strikeforce... so this was apparently a negotiating standoff...

 

dana released a statement... that overeem is still under contract and will fight again, once his "pinky toe" heals... probably a good chance he's fighting in the UFC by the start of 2012...

 

Mark Munoz vs. Chris Leben at UFC 138 will be the first non-title five round main event.

 

I think this is going to be a good fight card for Showtime. I think the third fight between Bowling and Voelker should be good.

Demetrius Johnson vs Dominick Cruz for the UFC Bantamweight title is set for the UFC on Versus 6 card. This will be the first time in a very long time that a title fight has been on a cable network, and not PPV.

 

Urijah Faber vs. Brian Bowles set for UFC 139.

 

I wish Bellator had decided to do more than one weight class for their Summer series. I still enjoy watching their events though.

I think OSP is going to be very good in the future.
