Shogun's camp was apparently saying they didn't have enough time to be ready for Fox. Doubt one week later will make a huge difference

Tito-Ace with a bunch of other decent fights on main card but it won't sell that well

Yeah that would be awful.

We could still end up with Reem though or maybe even Anderson-Hendo. Who knows

Possible. We could see Reem vs Mir on that card. Hendo vs Machida?

1. Hendo vs Machida
2. Reem vs Carwin
3. Reem vs Mir
4. Hendo vs _____
5. Elvis Sinosic vs James Irvin

arielhelwani Ariel Helwani
And yes, there will be a full night of fights for the live crowd. I don't think they would just put on Cain-JDS and Poirier-Garza.

Saku vs Okami

If Dana is saying Brock is 100% and is coming back, I find it hard not to believe he doesn't headline in place of Cain vs JDS againt either Reem, Nog or Mir for the number one contender spot. He is the PPV jackpot and his return there sells ppv's big and correlates with a HW title fight story line very nicely in that they get to advertise the winner of the ppv as the next guy fighting the champ over and over again, and if they are advertising brock..... It salvages the potential impact of losing the title fight and even bolsters it most likely.

Major news indeed.

I guess everybody can shut the fuck up about Abu Dhabi now.

Hell naw, they fucking owe me.

and you know damn well even after this that people will say "what about our payback for Abu Dhabi?"

Thats why they should name this event UFC on Fox: Sorry about Abu Dhabi.

+1

They already said he isn't going to be ready until 2012, that is all we needed to know. But if this fight rocks, the UFC is going to be bigger than maybe we ever saw it. We should promote this place and get some new blood in here and maybe make our admin folks a little money.

White said this morning that he is 100% and preparing to return to training camp. I won't rule him out just yet. It would be a 9 week camp next week.

We talking who replaces JDS vs Cain? I'd guess Reem vs Mir, makes sense to me, anything including a match between Machida/Gun/Hendo would work as well.

Well if Lesnar is smart, he will pull a Rashad Evans and have a training camp. Take a little break for a week, then have another training camp for a scheduled fight. That is where Rua went wrong with Jon Jones. He came in off 1 training camp and he wasn't fully ready and was slow.

Lesnar needs two camps and a bum before he is ready to fight names again. Unearth Sean McCorkle.

Or Nog

Brock Lesnar needs a trainer and a camp full of sparring partners who won't coddle him.

Nog would defeat Lesnar easily. He isn't Mir.

-1 Nog would make Brock curl up into the fetal position.

LOL oh you guys

Nog looked like a fucking 80 year old man Saturday night and was getting tagged and landed a big punch on a schmuck like Schaub. He's finished

Mir would still wipe the floor with Nog at this point

Yea I donno, Mir is up and down as hell, Schaub's hands are as fast as any HW not named JDS. He beat Randy and Schaub from pillar to post. Brock isn't a good striker. The only punch he has ever landed is the one right hand. He hasn't trained in a year. Nog would fuck him up badly.

Brock will do to Nog what he did to Mir in the 2nd fight.

Agreed with possibly most risk of Nog pulling off a crazy sub off his back

Nog's boxing will make Brock panic.
