UFC upcoming events, rumours, and announcements

Newcomer Karlos Vemola vs. Jon Madsen @ UFC 116.

[speeds]

Vladimir Matyushenko vs. Jon Jones for UFC on Versus 2.

Sensible fight for Jones... tough draw for The Janitor.

[Mamba]

Uh, that is a downgrade in competition IMO for Jones. Give him some one better.

[Chocolove]

I think its a good fight for Jones... the Janitor has some solid experience, could pose some problems. Physically though... Matyushenko has no chance.

No way, dude. Vliadimir is 11-1 in his last twelve fights. He's a strong guy and a wise vet who could pose problems for Jones.

[Mamba]

Maybe I'm overlooking the Janitor, then. He just seems more like a gate keeper type and just another name for Jones to add to his W/L record. I don't see him posing much of a threat to beating Jones, though.

Woah, rocketeer is into MMA? :O

Can't wait for the fight either btw.

Ok well what you say is still true--the UFC is looking to match him up with JJ so Bones can add another KO to his record--but Vlad isn't a pushover.

[speeds]

Fitch vs. Alves 2 has been moved back to UFC 117.

[speeds]

Cheick Kongo has a bad back and is unlikely to fight Roy Nelson at UFC 116, per reports.

[Mamba]

Roy Nelson vs Frank Mir could be on

[speeds]

Sakara vs. Marquardt is off. Sakara's father passed and he won't compete.

[speeds]

Mario Miranda vs. David Loiseau @ UFC 115.

[speeds]

Gleison Tibau vs. Jimmy Miller @ UFC on Versus 2.

[speeds]

Tim Boetsch vs. Thiago Silva @ UFC 117.

[speeds]

Forrest Griffin might be out of his (stellar) fight with Nog Light, according to TMZ, due to a shoulder issue.

Dunno if they can find a late replacement.

[Mamba]

I @ TMZ reporting UFC injuries and news. I wasn't looking forward to that match @ all. Lil' Nog is too technical of a striker for Forrest.

[speeds]

Jason Brilz to replace Forrest Griffin. Lame.

[speeds]

Joe Lauzon to submit Terry Etim @ UFC 118.

[speeds]

Jorge Rivera vs. Alessio Sakara @ UFC 118.

[Mamba]

Ohh that could be a fun fight.

[speeds]

Nate Marquardt will fight Rousimar Palhares (fresh off suspension) at UFC 117 or later.

[Mamba]

Dangerous matchup for Marquardt if he goes to the ground. He should be able to beat Paul Harris standing, easily.

[speeds]

Brian Stann is moving down to middleweight (because dropping a weight class always make a losing fighter a winning one) and will face Mike Massenzio at UFC on Versus 2.
