Did everyone see that former osu wrestler lance Palmer has began his mma career. He won his first fight and trains with team alpha male.

Sherdog has him at 3-0. He's got some good training partners there for his weight class.

He will be fighting Frank Mir instead , Should be a great match up

Yeah Mir vs Cormier is actually interesting. It will let is know where Cormier will stand when he enters the UFC next year

Mir is taking a big pay cut since he always gets a cut of PPVs to go fight Cormier. I say kudos to Mir for taking a fight that has no real upside for him.

I'm sure the UFC is adding some backroom 'bonus' money for Mir to take this fight, but it still has to be far less than his normal PPV cut would get him. Plus, his sponsorship money will probably go down since it will be on Strikeforce and not PPV.

I can't wait for the fight though, it should be a great matchup.

I believe Mir is a much better overall fighter, but great wrestlers who hit hard are terrible matchups for Mir. I think Cormier wins unless he is dumb enough to take Mir down.

I know he's getting well compensated, but, i read that Dana said he would not cherry pick strickforce fighters. I think it's hypocritical to bring over a UFC Star but let the best lightweight not in the UFC waste away fighting bums.

No surprise there, in the prime of his career and a ton of money to be made still. Interested to see what they do with him when he comes back, hopefully one fight then a shot at GSP.

I can only hope, although I'd like to see him exact revenge on Condit.

So many variables on when Diaz could be back, it's tough to predict.

Maybe they give him Hendricks/Kampmann winner, then a title shot after that. I would like to see him fight Rory after he destroys BJ personally. Speaking of Rory did anyone see Rory's comments after Penn said something innocent about wanting to get revenge on Tri-Star?

"No, that's on him if he's worried about TriStar," McDonald told reporters. "I don't care about that, I fight for myself and that's it. I am not worried about that. He is all upset because Georges [St. Pierre] whooped him, but, I am going to hurt him even worse. I am training for the best B.J. I am just preparing myself to be the best version. … I don't know where B.J. is at. You know, he didn't even show up to this. He is dropping out of the VADA testing. Last time I saw him he looked really out of shape. I don't know where his head is at in this, but, he better get serious or I am going to hurt him very badly."

Hendricks/Kampmann winner will be facing GSP/Condit.

Apparently BJ might be training at AKA which would be good for him.
