Alot of the "names" in that division are locked up to fights. MTB would be good, if he didn't retire. Hard to find a higher ranked opponent with a "name" that is available right now.

Things just got easier for Siver.

Yep, if he can't beat Nam, he might want to consider moving back to LW.

He already beat Nunes who has been a perennial top ten FW for a while. I think he should be able to handle Phan.

Yeah that was a good win. Nunes picked up a solid win since then to that makes that win look even better. That fight just seems like it was a long time ago.

UFC featherweight Eddie Yagin, who was hospitalized last week with "swelling around his brain," is back home, on the mend and expected to make a full recovery, according to MMA Fighting. Taking his place at UFC on FOX 5 while he recuperates (30 days) is Nam Phan, who will step in on short notice to battle Dennis Siver.
