Kenny Florian wants to welcome Takanori Gomi to the UFC, and this would be a great fight IMO:
http://mmajunkie.com/news/17428/kenny-florian-gunning-for-ufc-import-takanori-gomi-hopeful-for-march-meeting.mma
If you haven't seen Gomi fight, look up some of his fights, he is one of the best 155's in the world and will be Penn's next challenge.

Fitch or Koscheck will be a real test for Daley. I don't see him beating either. The Jan 11th fight night has a couple decent fights.

Guys, Gegard Mousasi fights at LHW/205, so he'd be a fight for the Shogun/Machida winner, not for Anderson.
Obviously Anderson has fought at 205, but he's a MW.
I think the confusion is because in Japan, they call 205 "middleweight" while we call 185 middleweight here in the US and he has fought more in Japan than he has in the US.
Obviously Anderson has fought at 205, but he's a MW.

I'm really looking forward to UFC 111. St-Pierre v. Hardy and Mir v. Carwin should both be entertaining fights. I think GSP will win by total domination...again. I just don't think Hardy is close to being in that class yet. I also think Mir will overwhelm Carwin. If Mir comes out firing like he did against Kongo, he'll be a tough beat for any HW in the world (except maybe Lesnar and Fedor).

He just fought Forrest at 205 so I could easily see him fighting Mousasi at 205.
I think Silva/Mousasi would be a much better fight than Machida/Mousasi.
But yeah, if it was for the belt he'd have to fight Machida.

111 should be ok. I see total domination by GSP. Hardy hasnt done enough to impress me yet. Mir Carwin could be an epic battle though.

This is why I said yes, Silva has fought at 205, I know he fought Forrest and he also fought James "Sandman" Irvin (if you call that a fight).eersandbeers wrote:

Hughes to fight Renzo Gracie on that BJ Penn card.
I would love to see Gracie beat him but I am not optimistic.

Just like the fans did in Montreal, the fans will pack GM Place in Vancouver. There's onll one state/city I want to see a UFC happen in........Madison Square Garden, if a UFC event ever happened there, it would be epic.Leonardo wrote: UFC headed to Vancouver in June:

Guys open this link and watch the video of the fight included in the article. Shinya Aoki, one of the best lightweights in the world disgusts me. You wanna talk about Lesnar's antics, that was no where close to what Aoki does here:
