Tito Ortiz is back.

They signed with ESPN in the UK.

Rich Franklin is now fighting Vitor Belfort at UFC 103.

Dan Henderson is getting the next middleweight title shot.

Fedor got offered a huge amount of money to fight in the UFC and he refused.

I think Fedor might actually be retarded... which would explain his crazy strength.

Like, how does anybody put this much trust in management this shitty? It's like he doesn't care about fighting at all.

Look for Fedor vs a wild silverback gorilla on PPV in between human freakshow fights.

He isn't gonna get another offer like this again. He is running out of fights and he needs the UFC more than they need him. If he never fights there, in 10 years he'll will be a nobody because the casual fan never saw him fight (casuals didn't buy Affliction shows). Let's not forget he'll be even less marketable when he loses and he WILL lose at some point. He blew the oppotunity of a lifetime here.

I'm delighted Tito is back obviously. Might even see him in Manchester :D

I'm happy Hendo got the next title shot too. Now I'm actually interested in another Anderson Silva fight and the impending squash match ;)

UFC 104 Bisbing vs (insert can here) :p

That can they're talking about is Wanderlei Silva....

...and no I'm not saying Wanderlei Silva is or ever has been a can, just that he's the rumored next opponent for Bisping. I'll be rooting for Wanderlei which is going to be strange because I haven't rooted for the Axe Murderer since he fought Fujita.

I promise you now it's not going to be a "can". I've heard 2 names other than Silva and both would be legit top fights.

Mask - Tickets aren't on sale yet.

Good to see Bisping will lose again then. Excellent.

Rob

Well of the two names I heard as opponents, both from other weight classes, one I don't think has a chance of happening and the other ain't got a shot at knocking out Bisping.

Impact!

I'm happy Hendo got the next title shot too. Now I'm actually interested in another Anderson Silva fight and the impending squash match ;)

"another squash match? anderson and hendo's first fight was hardly a squash. hendo won the first round and was doin fine in the 2nd until he gassed and silva got his back.

hendo wins the rematch
