Quote :

But now Belfort won, and he makes sense," Rockhold said. "Lombard could be down the line too. Who knows? I just want to fight. Truthfully, Belfort probably makes the most unless they want to do a champion vs. champion fight (with Silva). But I'm game for whatever they want."

"I'd love to fight on that card," he said. "I'm from the Bay Area, and there's nothing I'd like more than to make my UFC debut in the Bay Area with all my fans. I'd bring all of Santa Cruz and a lot more. Trust me, we'd pack that place."

I called thus earlier. Make it happen.

Weidman gets first crack then the winner of Luke/Vitor.

Weidman's latest tweets imply he could be next up for Spider. He said he is expect to make summer return and mentioned Spider also wants summer return and said something like coincidence?

Not at all. The only way this happens if the UFC strong arms Anderson into fighting him. Which I don't think is going to happen because the UFC owes Anderson for switching venues last minute with his fight with Chael and saving the 153 card.

Anderson is only looking for money fights against fighters with name recognition. Rashad has that, and so did Bisping. Rockhold doesn't but, it has the interesting champion vs champion angle to it.

Yeah it would be a shame if the most deserving man got the title shot. Just wouldn't seem right. Time to pull out the calculators and see who can get us the most $

Zuffa is in some serious financial trouble. 2012 was the worst year for Zuffa since they first began. Expect more of these money fights in the the future.
