On MMA junkie they just have hi that after losing to Riggs has been released by Strikeforce and they may resign him if he puts a win streak together.

Imagine that going to UFC just to get a win streak to go back to strikeforce. hehe

Looks like the UFC have just signed Little Nog.

Kinda annoyed as I was looking forward to him fighting Mousasi in Strikeforce. UFC has about 8 of the top 10 lhws so there are not that many great fights for him.

If they have 8 of the top 10, why do you think there are not many great fights for him?

Fights for Mousasi maybe?

Did anybody see the payouts for Strikeforce?
Carano $125k Vs Cyborg $25k
Mousasi $2k!!!! Vs Babalu $75k

Also Chuck Liddell has started his next challenge, an entry on Dancing with the Stars LOL

Haha, yeah, I meant for Mousasi. King Mo and Arona would be good but then what?

As for his pay, M-1 are his management so you know he got a fat envelope stuffed with cash and the two grand was just to keep the tax man quiet.

same with fedor, they get paid in russia via m1. We've still yet to see if king Mo is actually any good or not, hes talks a good fight but hasnt really fought any big guys yet.

dunno, velasquez is apparently now fighting heath herring at 104 and gets a shot at the winner of lesnar carwin assuming he beats herring.

Much better idea. Carwin & Velsquez are legitimate contendors for title IMO and it seems silly removing one of them from the title picture. There is not many how could take a fight to Lesnar, and I think both these two can.
