Brandon Vera looking to move back up to heavyweight? Against Big Ben? Well... its been nice knowing you Vera.

Cat Zigano is injured and will not be the coach on next seasons Ultimate Fighter, and therefore Miesha Tate is getting the coaching gig + title shot.

Also Clay Guida vs. Chad Mendes has been re-booked for UFC 164.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Double lameness.

That TUF deal doesn't sound like the shadiest shit ever, not at all.

 

[The Cork]

Clear set up, it's the match up they wanted in the first place and didn't bank on Tate losing, just like when Diaz lost to Condit and ruined all Danas plans for a second.

Whatever though, it'll be a better season of TUF now because Miesha is hot and hopefully her dickhead boyfriend gets bitchslapped by Rousey. The coaches fight won't be competitive just like their first fight wasn't, Rousey armbar R1 yet again.

 

[Slim]

No matter what we were going to see Rousey vs. Tate just like we eventually wound up seeing GSP vs. Diaz.

Just this way UFC can seem like they didn't have any other choice but to do it this way. The fight itself... eh. First round... ARMBAR!

Rampage Jackson has signed with Bellator/TNA,

 

[Slim]

Not sure if that is a good thing or bad thing for both of those promotions. Well publicity wise good thing. But how will Rampage be able to perform for both

 

[The Cork]

I don't know a single Bellator light heavy, so it'll be a good gauge to see where Bellator is at.

If Page runs through and takes their title, they will look incredibly bush league considering how washed up he is and couldn't buy a win in the UFC. Him vs King Mo is prol the biggest money fight they have though.

 

[Embrace Thou Maryse]

Yeah ideally for Bellator their top LHW's beat Rampage otherwise it just makes them look bad, and I'm not sure if the media attention of having the Rampage that got wrecked and outclassed in his last 3 UFC fight as Bellator Champion outweighs how bad it makes them look.

Then again King Mo was meant to go in and march to the top...then got KTFO in his second fight by the slowest spinning backfist ever.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Cheick Kongo is also Joining Bellator, no TNA crossover expected.

 

[Dale]

Now Kongo does have a pro-wrestling physique.

 

[Slim]

Yeah why didn't they try to get Kongo in there? Big black man built like a daggone freak of nature... shoot.

 

[The Cork]

Kongo, Rampage and King Mo the new Nation of Domination in TNA :

Jon Fitch lost in the first round to Arianny's ex bf Josh Burkman...

Steve Mazzagatti didnt even stop it, Burkman let go of the guillotine when Fitch went out. Great win for him, mixed bag for WSOF though.
