I was actually waiting for this as I was very curious about Stephan Bonnar, he looked more cut than he has in the past and he already popped once before. So with that said, good for him!

Toney is going to get demolished by Couture.

He may bite off more than he can chew with Couture and he is already wanting to fight Lesnar? Wow.

These boxers are about to find out what MMA is all about. I though am intrigued because Toney is one of the best boxers, he isn't just some Joe Schmoe. His only chance is to catch Randy right off the bat, if Randy gets inside, up against the cage or to the ground its all over for Lights Out!! Randy does not though want to stand and throw and of course he won't! Randy by TKO rd ground and pound!

Didnt see this already posted but former Buckeye wrestler Lance Palmer has signed on with Fabers camp

THE LIFE AND TIMES OF UFC CHAMP BROCK LESNAR

SHIELDS SIGNS WITH UFC AND GOES BACK TO 170LBS

http://www.mmaweekly.com/absolutenm/templates/dailynews.asp?articleid=12076&zoneid=13

Impact FC - Ken Shamrock vs Pedro Rizzo 10:00PM EST 7/17 Watch tonight at http://channelsurfing.net/

The Shields signing is huge. I think he is probably the best fighter not currently in the UFC. Who do you think his first fight will be against.

rumored that it may be against Kampmann .. who was hoping to get a shot agaisnt Dan Hardy.

Either way Shields only needs a fight or 2 before he's ready to challenge GSP.

he can challenge. but he has about 1% chance of defeating GSP.

I like Shields alot and am looking forward to his fight with GSP because everytime I see him fight he looks better. The biggest questions for Shields has to be if he can handel top competiton. He has fought and beat guys like Paul Daley, Carlos Condit, Robbie Lawyer, and Dan Henderson but thats still not GSP. The thing he has going for him is that he is strong and maybe as well condioned as GSP.

Shields/Kampmann should happen at UFC 121

Oh I agree with you, but at this point at WW, who can beat GSP?

He only loses by a flash KO like GSP/Serra 1.

the Shields Kamppman has the best shot if Koscheck doesnt. If GSP beats 2 out of those 3 then the only fight he has left is moving up to fight Silva.

Anderson Has no one left except Sonnen.. Who will take Anderson down.. and we will see how good the Spiders ground game really is.

I don't think Koscheck has a chance, maybe a flash KO standing, but heck, Koschecks best game, wrestling, GSP is better.

Kampman will get taken down repeated and probably subbed by GSP. GSP doesn't take the chance of standing with him.

Shields maybe, it would be interesting.


I also agree that Sonnen has the best chance right now against Silva.

Sonnen has no chance of beating Silva.
