No ? clue. As talented as Chael is, I don't his last performance warrants a rematch. If you got choked out by Silva who had injured ribs that night before the fight (either bruised or broken), what the ? makes you think you're going to win against an uninjured Silva. Dana needs to get on his ? and either make GSP fight Silva or make Silva move up to 205. -

Bjorn Rebney Confirms Hector Lombard is UFC-Bound

Apr 24, 2012 - World-ranked middleweight Hector Lombard will leave his longtime home at Bellator and sign with the UFC.
Bellator CEO Bjorn Rebney confirmed the move to MMA Fighting on Tuesday afternoon.
Bellator had a right to match the UFC's offer to the man who was their reigning middleweight champion, but Rebney cited differences between the two organizational models as the obstacle that could not be overcome when it came to matching the UFC's deal.
"We have a business model where we make decisions based on analyzing data," he said. "Since the first day we came into being, we made decisions based on real models, not hypotheticals. The UFC model is largely based on pay-per-view, and the offer they made to Hector is going to be monetized via pay-per-view. While pay-per-view could play a role in our future, today it doesn't. So, we did our due diligence to review the UFC contract, analyze it in terms of charging our audience to see Hector vs. putting him on free TV, and we decided to allow the UFC to sign Hector, where I am extremely confident he will win the UFC middleweight title on pay-per-view."
Lombard, along with former lightweight champ Eddie Alvarez, were the first two fighters Rebney signed when he began the promotion in 2008.
He went 8-0 with seven knockouts during his run in Bellator, capturing his championship in June 2009 with a fourth-round TKO of Jared Hess. He also successfully defended the belt in a unanimous decision win over Alexander Shlemenko, the only time in his last eight fights his opponent made it to the judges' scorecards.
"He was a great fighter here, and there's no doubt in my mind he'll be a great fighter when he goes to the UFC," Rebney said. "I've said for a long time he's the best middleweight in the world, and I think he'll win the UFC title in short order."

This fight will be the test of Silva and Sonnen to me. Sonnen's claims to not be juiced and Silva's story about the broken ribs. Guess we'll know if Sonnen goes night night with a big toe in his grill.

doesn't really mean he was cheating.
just doesn't want ? ? and gyno...
? outta here. I'm not an expert on this steroid ? but I read the average testosterone level was 1:1. MMA allows athletes to have a ratio of 6:1. Overeem was 14:1.

Diaz won. 2nd round submission. Diaz is top4 now in lightweight, him or Pettis will fight winner of Edgar vs bendo 2.
I don't think Edgar deserves a immediate rematch, though. Not every close fight warrants one.
