That's what I thought, skflives. It would kind of be weird to crown Cormier champ when the only two guys in the division are the champ and the guy he beat to become champ. :)

Good time to mention the gong show that was the HW tourney. You know, just because.

One of the great debacles in MMA history IMO.

Mir stands no chance in that fight should it go down. A young, quick, dynamic striker with great wrestling... He'll get smashed JDS style, not even close.

I thought there was talk about Pettis doing a fight with Melendez before he got his injury

Would have loved to see Barnett and Mir match up. Mir is going for his 2nd KO in a row.

There is always talk on the internet but the only rumors that seemed to have any validity were the rumors of BJ Penn being asked to go fight Gilbert Melendez. We know that one was true because Penn himself said he wouldn't do it for various stupid reasons. I think the real reason why he rejected it was because he didn't want to cut to 155 again.
