Fight Announcements/Rumors

[Fight Fan]

Kinda makes me wonder why Dana even lets these two fight anymore. I mean he pretty much retired Liddell yet lets these two keep fighting. I wouldnt mind seeing Chucky get knocked out a few more times....

“The Axe Murder” Wenderlei Silva is pumped up about fighting Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama at UFC 110 in Sydney Australia.

Looks like Ufc maybe looking for a bigger main event. Someone should tell Wanderlei who he is fighting. LOL

Feel bad for Hardy, I think it's just a little too early for him. GSP should win this one.

This thread should be a sticky.

Anyways, with Nelson and Kimbo victorious tonight, one has to think they're gonna make a round 2.

I doubt it dude I don't think there are many people questioning who is the better fighter right now. Enough of these lower tier guys for Big Country let's see him against some real competition now.

This should be a cracker of a fight.

Can't wait to see Yvel in the UFC.

Surging light heavyweight and UFC sophomore Antonio Rogerio Nogueira (18-3) has officially agreed to throw hands with hot-and-cold cage veteran Brandon Vera (11-4) at UFC 109: "Relentless" from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on Feb. 6.

Nogueira -- the younger (by seven seconds) twin brother of UFC heavyweight contender Rodrigo "Minotauro" -- recently agreed to a multi-fight deal with the organization. "Lil' Nog" made his debut a memorable one, stopping fast-rising prospect Luis Cane via technical knockout for the first time in "Banha's" career.

The win was "Minotoro's" sixth straight.

In addition to pounding out Edwin "Babyface" DeWees at Affliction: "Banned" in July of 2008, Nogueira got his much sought-after revenge on Vladimir Matyushenko by knocking out "The Janitor" in the second round of their 2002 rematch at Affliction: "Day of Reckoning" this past January.

A convincing win over Vera could put him at the top of a very short list of 205-pound title contenders.
