Yeh that Strikeforce Tourney is gonna be awesome. Sucks for Werdum. To bad Vera couldnt have jumped ship and got on that. I also think him and Brown will be cut.

Man Im a huge fan os Sonnen been a huge fan since his WEC days but he has gone all hell or something.

Marquardt vs Akiyama at UFC 128. Have to believe this is it for Sexyama. If he loses he's more than likely gonna be cut. Hopin he beats Marquardt.

Also Sanchez vs Kampmann is set for the main event at UFC on Versus 3 on 3/3/11.

I doubt he beats Nate, Akiyama does not have the gas tank.

I like Kampmann over Sanchez, just a better all around fighter

A lightweight bout between Clay Guida and final WEC lightweight champion Anthony Pettis is being targeted for UFC 130 or UFC 131.

Sources close the bout informed Heavy.com of the news on Monday night.

Pettis was scheduled to receive a UFC title shot against the winner of the Frankie Edgar/Gray Maynard bout from UFC 125. The fight ended in a draw, however, and Pettis was removed from the title shot in favor of a third bout between Edgar and Maynard. Pettis opted to take a fight instead of waiting on the sidelines for eight to ten months.

Guida is coming off a submission victory over Takanori Gomi at UFC 125. The popular lightweight has strung together three straight victories and is nearing title contention for the first time in his UFC tenure.
