what would be bad about this wolf?

I don't know that there is anything bad. In fact the UFC could use it to pump up Strikeforce in a round about why as well, if two SF champions fight on a stage that big. But it just doesn't seem like a UFC thing to do. I donno. No one knows who Overeem is really, and Hendo has been gone since UFC 100.

2 hours to go boys!

I hope it is really awesome news, because if it isn't I am going to keep getting tired of expecting something that never happens...

I don't think the UFC would have any problem promoting Hendo in the main event. Reem is a different story, I can see where you are coming from with him. But Hendo is a man who owned 2 PRIDE belts, fought for 2 UFC belts in the past and he is the fucking legend known as Hendo. Yeah, don't think the UFC will have a problem pushing that guy, even if it would be his UFC return fight.

Not to mention Hendo was a TUF coach so most of the casuals know who he is.

no wolf I have to agree. I bet a ton its brock fucking lesnar. As much as I hate it it might be best for the debut because of the fan base he brings. Puke

Brock Lesnar will never not fight on a PPV. Ever

If Brock was healthy and ready to go for this event he would be given strong consideration for such a major event. I'm pretty damn sure of it.

Too much money to be made especially with the very average PPV numbers they've been doing lately. And they would have to pay Brock a lot to make up for him not getting a cut of the PPVs. Too many things going on there, can't see it

They want this event to be as huge as possible. They want this to have as big as numbers as they can. Trust me the thought would definitely enter their mind. Huge numbers here go a long, long way.

He would be on one of their actual major Fox shows maybe although I still doubt it. Definitely not on this 2 fight teaser as a lead-in to the Pac fight which will already help them get a ton of views

Jesse Forbes vs Steve Steinbeiss

Is what I would like to know, looking right now.

I'm guessing there will be no video, it's a conference call. I'll see if I can release the number.

Speculation growing that Cain Velasquez vs. JDS is on FOX. It was the only rumor I inquired about over last week that didn't come back "no."
