Apparently they've changed their mind, he can apply for his license back in June which makes way for Bisping v Sonnen to headline UFC in the UK in October!

With tuf 14 before it i should imagine aswell!

Wouldnt fancy bispings chances though to be honest..but id fancy getting tickets for that one.

Have they confirmed the venue for the uk card yet? i know they were talking about nottingham or liverpool.

Think Kong trains quite a lot in North America, so I imagine he'll have some ground skills.

Just that it'll be Notts or Liverpool at the minute.

Let's hope we don't just get the bog standard Bisping, Hathaway etc fights and that we have a legit main event. I know Diego Sanchez v Matt Hughes is scheduled for around that time, I'd be happy with that.

If it is bisping v sonnen i would imagine that would be the main event as a no1 contender fight...

Id be pretty underwhelmed with sanchez hughes TBH

Near my birthday so I wouldn't mind a trip to my first live event and a heavy night out too!
Sonnen is a terrible fight for Bisping, wrestlef*cked for 3 rounds is all I can see. I hope sonnens back though the talk with him and Bisping would be epic. Also nice to hear Bisping tweeted support for Sonnen saying hed payed his dues etc.

Hi Fellas,
Im going to Las Vegas on Thursday,staying at the MGM grand (ash cloud permitting)!! I've noticed that there's a big UFC event taking place t the hotel on the Saturday night and was wondering if you think that it'll be worth checking out as i don't know any of the fighters apart from the main event Rampage v Mark Hamill. Cheers

It was meant to be a title fight on the main card between frankie edgar and gray maynard but both pulled out injured.

mir v nelson might be worth a watch,both are grapplers and both can stand and bang aswell....theres a few good fighters on the card like alves,stann,torres etc but no really great standout match ups IMO...

Always worth a watch anyway when Rampage is fighting!!!

Bisping v Jason 'mayhem' Miller it is then!

Coaching the next ultimate fighter aswell.

Would a win there really propell Bisping to a title shot that he continues to crave ?.... I dont think so.

Rampage, boring last night, dont know whats happened to the vicious brawler that knocked Chuck Liddell out cold.

his hearts not in it anymore, he's a movie star, he had more nastiness the way he was actnig a in the press conference on a reporter.

A pretty dull card all round really.

I thought Rampage did well to stuff all of his takedowns and got to give hammil some credit as he has shown in a few of his fights that he can take a beating and never quits.

But yeah i wanted to see abit more of a killer instinct from jackson aswell!

Announced last the GSP will fight Nick Diaz for the title in Oct.

nate marquart pulled out of the versus card tonight and also been sacked from the ufc!!!

Anyone know what thats all about???

Various rumours, drugs and struggling to cut the weight by all accounts.

But to get his contract finished with the UFC a few moments after pulling out, it has to be something serious.

ui'm thinking karo parisyan style up.

I thought a drugs test is done after a fight and surely not cutting weight is not a justification for being sacked??

To be honest im not a big fan of marquart anyway,really dont like the guy....it is a bit of a weird one though!!

For me barry v kongo is a better fight anyway.

Anyone got any tips for UFC 132?

Wanderlei Silva vs Chris Leben for Fight Of The Night.

Ortiz is passed it, he has no chance against Bader. Cant split Condit or Kim to be honest. Would like to see Andre Winner get back to winning ways, and George Sotiropolous (I know thats not how you spell it), but both have difficult fights.

But what do I know !! After lumping Matt Mitrione at 4/9 in a big double with Rick Storey at 1/5 at the Live event last weekend.

Me too mate, mitrione barry double



I think Leben at 11/8 is a decent bet, I can't wait for it tbh right after David Haye too. Oh and Cruz will win by decision

Id go..Cruz...wandy....Bader....Condit.

I think wanderlei v leben has the potential for fight of the night but cruz faber should be good aswell...

By the way..kongo v barry!!! Holy shiiiitte! What a come back,he looked out of it..what an uppercut!

I like the look of Matt Wiman at 11/10 to beat Denis Siver tonight! Siver has had a few good wins as of late but Wiman is a bigger guy, and may be able to pin him up against the cage and negate Siver's kickboxing.

Wanderlai to destory Leban.

Good show all in all last night!

I've liked Condit for years, even more so after he knocked out Dan Hardy, so I was pleased to see him perform so well. Hopefully he's next in line for a title shot after Diaz, however I've a feeling Dana may go with the winner of Fitch v Penn 2.

The Wyman fight was a tricky one to call. I actually scored the fight 29-28 Wyman but I can understand why the judges did score it in favour of Siver. It's good to see fighters scoring for blocking takedown attempts now, as thats all Wyman ever really did in the first and third rounds.

I can't stand Tito Ortiz, but credit where it's due, you can't help but enjoy his fights! Glad to see him stay in the UFC.

Leben is just nasty....that is all!

The main event was a real cracker, and will almost certainly lead to a rematch. I actually scored the fight 48-47 Cruz, with Cruz stealing the fight in the last round. I really don't know how any judge could score it 50-45, there is no way Cruz won all the rounds! I'd like to see them go at it again, as it's reallly a razor close decision.
