A couple years late, but it's a move that can only help UFC's reputation in Japan. Not sure if I'd want to see Kid v. Faber now.

the UFC also signed Michihiro Omigawa, who has been really good at FW since his switch.

I made a list on my blog a couple days ago about the 10 guys the UFC needs to grab to strengthen the new divisions, and now they go out and grab 2 of them. Great signings. Let's hope they do not stop here. Bibiano, Sandro, Hioki, and Warren need to be in the UFC.

I'd like to see that list. I have thought of a few fighters I'd like to see in UFC,

Nick Diaz
Robbie Lawler
Gilbert Melendez
Eddie Alvarez
Tyron Woodley
Ben Askren
Joe Warren
Fedor Emelianenko ( I know it's a long shot, but I think now is the time to see Fedor vs Brock, both are coming off losses.)

Damn, Omigawa is getting Mendes for his debut/return? Tough fight. The winner might just be the #1 contender.

I wonder who Kid gets.

It is mostly an NBA draft blog, but there is plenty of MMA, football, and baseball mixed in.

In your latest mock, Bucs need a DE in 1st more than an OT .

I think a good draft for the Bucs is,

Rd 1) DE Clayborn or Kerrigan
Rd 2) OG Hudson
Rd 3) OLB Mathews
Rd 4) RB Devine
Rd 5) S Etheridge
Rd 6) CB Chekwa
Rd 7) P Donahue
