| Smells like they might have someone to fight Aldo. Chow say would probably be down to avenge his buddies loss. | |

| WVR is defunct. You think they'd let Santiago walk if they were still staging shows? Shooto can't pay what the big leagues pay and Dream isn't going to pay him either.
Anyway, Chad Mendez or any number of American fighters would expose him like all Japanese nationals get exposed stateside. | |

| Yeah pretty sure that's defunct as well, I'm sure this will be a done deal eventually too, but sadly with Wolf in his last post. Still pumped for another top level addition, be nice if they gave him a good tuneup get people to know him fight, then gave him a Title shot. | |

| My favorite non Zuffa fighter. Dude is sick. I think his style translates a lot better to coming to the UFC than a lot of previous Japan guys | |

| Had Omigawa gotten the decision he deserved tonight I'd say match them up, but since not I'd rather not have to see one of them lose.
What about Hioki vs Roop? Griffin off a win wouldn't be bad, or Nunes would be an excellent fight. | |
