There is a feeling right now that they have to do a Batista vs. Mark Henry match because Henry "injured" Batista and Henry wound up injured before Batista could get his revenge on him. If they go through with the program, it will likely be a short-term deal because of the fear of a lengthy program unnecessarily increasing the risk of injury for Batista, whose entire career has been interrupted by one torn muscle after another.

As noted earlier, it is believed that Mr. Kennedy suffered a triceps injury over the weekend. No other details have come out regarding the injury, but it appears to be significant which is likely why he lost the Money In The Bank title shot on RAW. It definitely makes sense as Edge will likely be heading to SD! tonight and could capture the title, cashing in the money in the bank. Batista went down with a similar injury early last year and was out for about six months

THis is not a fact yet. But it does make sense.

It's apparently a busy weekend at the Bellator Fighting Championship offices.

MMAJunkie.com has learned that Bellator brass have reached a verbal agreement with 20-year-old German prospect Jonas Billstein (9-1 MMA, 0-0 BFC), and a contract is expected to be finalized shortly.

A debut date and opponent for Billstein has yet to be determined.

Billstein actually comes to Bellator on the heels of a June submission loss to Attila Vegh. The defeat was the first of Billstein's career and came after nine-straight wins to open his career.

Fighting professionally since 2009, Billstein's first six victories all came in the opening round.

Billstein had a banner year in 2010, racking up a perfect 7-0 mark, including a few notable wins over fellow prospects Hans Stringer and Mathias Schuck. The TKO win over Schuck came in the final round of a five-round contest.

Billstein also boasts the experience of fighting twice in a single night, earning a pair of wins in tournament action this past January.
