Cruz taking this fight to Bowles, winning the striking battles and landing nice leg kicks. Does land a low blow and Bowles recovers but Cruz finishes the rd with a takedown and is up 2 rds to 0.

UFC on Versus Preview on now, nice.

People will not agree with this, but Brandon Vera will handily defeat Jon Jones next week.

You can quote me or bet me or whatever.

Brandon Vera will easily demolish Jon Jones.

I am liking this preview as well however I like Jones to beat Vera. Vera is prone to not showing up or holding back or something. I don't like how inconsistant Vera can be.

All I have to say about that is I'm wondering if James Toney is wanting to get a beatdown?

Exactly my point. I was going to say I was wondering if Toney wanted to get murdered by Lesnar, but that's just mean... lol.

Toney will be fed a stand up figher first. NO MMA fighter has the hands of a pro boxer.. Once Toney dispatches a couple non-contendars he will be fed to a ground fighter.

Ortiz left TUF11 coaching? Rich Franklin replaced him? Chuck Liddell vs. Rich Franklin in June?

Wait wait, I haven't been keeping up with strikeforce. Is Fedor no longer the belt holder?

Fedor has not held the Strikeforce heavyweight title. Alistair Overeem is the SF heavyweight champion but has not defended it since he won it in November of 2007. He has fought seven times since then, but none for SF. He is rumored to be defending it on May 15th against Brett Rogers (who most recently fought against Fedor and got KTFO).

Fedor was originally supposed to fight on the April 17th SF CBS card against Fabricio Werdum, but that fight is supposed to now take place on the May 15th card.

I'm guessing/presuming if Overeem and Fedor each win on May 15th, they'll fight for the title on a PPV card for SF.

Still a little confused about all this Tito and Chuck news...but this is from Dana's Twitter, 2 different posts:

danawhite:

Not true! We are doing couture vs franklin not Chuck

danawhite:

Nothing happened to tito. Tito and I are cool.

So what do you think Dana's tweet was referring to then? I'm pretty confused, but from what I'm reading, MMAJUNKIE and Dana have conflicting stories...I personally am going to believe Dana that it's Rich vs. Randy. Then again, it could be a cover up by Dana in that maybe something happened with Tito that he left the show mid way or something along those lines or trying to lead people to believe the Tito vs. Chuck fight is still on so people will watch this season...who knows
