Nick Diaz is done 1 year from the Condit fight and fined 30 percent of his fight purse.

Cormier still has another fight in SF.

It's still inevitable that he'll fight for the UFC belt sooner rather than later.

[johnny]

Cormier also said he would move to 205 in the UFC since him and Cain are best friends and both want to be the best in the world. He'll probably start in the HW division though. I wonder if he'll get an immediate title shot(i think he should).

[Scawt]

He definitely should.

I'd love to see Jones vs Cormier. I think that'd be a FOTY candidate.

I think it wouldn't be. Jones can and would pick Cormier apart from a distance.

But If there is a fight I would like to see Jones start in as a heavyweight, that would be it.

I saw this and went really? You can't even make weight in the minors? I think Anthony Johnson picked the wrong sport at the end of the day

[johnny]

Anybody watch TUF?

[doa3_master]

I did. Al has this show in the bag. If Vick had won I would say it's an even fight but as we have seen Chiesa gets hit problems begin. Al has a knockout with an elbow. Al by first round destruction.

[Scawt]

Lesnar might be coming back. It's at least not out of the question.

[johnny]

If he came back it wouldnt be until he finishes his WWE contract, which is gonna last a year or so. But I doubt he's actually gonna come back.

[doa3_master]

Vitor Belfort is out of his fight with Wanderlei with a broken hand. Dana is looking for a replacement.

It's been said that his WWE contract is not exclusive. So that doesn't stop him from doing both. Maybe a one-off fight here or there along with his occasional WWE appearances.

maybe a one fight contract would work, but I doubt Dana would let him wrestle while under contract. And that wouldn't work with WWE.

who do you think he'll fight? Palhares?

Given the frequency of his appearances thus far in the WWE (he's made what, two? And wrestled one match?) I think he could manage both. Brock is the kind of guy who doesn't need built up storylines to sell a PPV or a fight card. He just has to show up and the money rolls in. I would not be all that surprised to hear Brock vs Mir 3 being made in the near future. It's a fight that has drama built into it and neither fighter realistically is going anywhere in the division. Mir won't be champ again, and Brock very likely won't.

Brock is the freak show that attracts casual fans, and I wouldn't mind seeing him in the UFC, either now or after his WWE stint.

I still think he's on medical suspension. Mark Munoz would be an interesting matchup but could cause it to be boring.

Munoz is fighting Weidman in July

[doa3_master]

Actually you know what. How bout the guy who beat Palhares. Belcher wants top competition give him Wanderlei that could be a great fight.

[johnny]

My only problem with that is Wanderlei isnt top competition. But why not, if Wanderlei could beat Belcher I would do the Carlton.

true, if Belcher could beat Wanderlei that would be big for his career.

[doa3_master]

Well it looks like we might have to wait for 6 months for Junior to fight again.  Velasquez's left hand may be broken. If so he's done until November 20th.

[doa3_master]

So Wanderlei has got his opponent. Rich Franklin again

http://mmajunkie.com...erlei-silva.mma

Looks like I'm streaming the PPV.

[johnny]

Wandy has a better chance against Franklin. Belfort was gonna dig his grave and bury him. Franklin is gonna win though.

yeah but that fight has zero interest to me.

[doa3_master]

Jake Ellenberger's Train just got Derailed. Kampmann with a beautiful 2nd round TKO.

[johnny]

Got damn Kampmann is the comeback kid. That was pretty fucking sweet. Ellenberger was fucking PISSED. Never count out Kampmann.

I dont know what it is about Chiesa, he doesnt look like a good fighter but he always squeezes the win out.

KotN easily goes to Lawrence.

[doa3_master]

a few things

If GSP is not back by november Condit wants a fight with Kampmann(!)

http://mmajunkie.com...defend-belt.mma

Brian Stann out vs Hector Lombard

http://mmajunkie.com...tor-lombard.mma

[johnny]

BJ PENN VS RORY MACDONALD HNNNNNNG

Also Shogun vs. Brandon Vera headlines Fox 4

[Scawt]

Vera is seriously such a huge step down for Shogun. He goes from being the champ, to having one of the best fights ever with Dan Henderson, to fighting... Brandon Vera? wat

Apparently he was offered Glover Teixeira but Shogun wanted no part of him.

Rampage was in the discussion too
