Yes it must be the same one then I used to keep an eye on him but lost track of MMA a bit over the last couple of years. Decent boxer, lacking a bit in ground skills but very tough and hard to submit.



Sounds like he's moved up a bit in class though.

He was meant to fight Miguel Torres in May but pulled out through injury, had he won that I feel he would have got a possible title shot next. So yes he has moved up in class... having said that, theres a lot of promotions these days above Cage "Gangsters R Us" Rage.

chael sonnen to fight lyoto machida in october apparently!!



Obviously sonnen will be moving up to light heavy for this...gets my goat that this guy gets a top 5 205 fighter straight away!



Hope lyoto rips him a new one!

Thought Sonnen was going after Bisping. Strange, but the move up was always on the cards as he always looked a big middleweight. That said, the way he handled Anderson Silva for 4 1/2 rounds, I would have thought he would have fancied his chances of taking the title in a few fights.



Each to their own I suppose, but yes, I hope Machida "Karate Kicks" him in the face !

Sonnen vs Machida now off, although it seemed it was never on in the first place.



Sonnen looking likely to fight Brian Stann back at his usual Middleweight instead.

Was just going to post the same thing...looks as though that rumour has just stemed from sonnen slagging everything brazilian off recently..



Hes fighting stann at ufc136.....thats a great match up imo.

phil davis pulled out of the evans fight due to injury!!



What does rashad evans have to do to get a fight! Heard tito ortiz and machida have been asked to fill in but both declined....cant see who else would take it at short notice to make it a decent main event???

Tito has accepted the fight now.



Dont think he has a chance though to be honest. Im sure he has secured a new 3 fight deal after his win against Bader and wont care less if Rashad beats him up in all honesty as he will be picking up a nice pay day for helping the UFC out of a hole on such short notice.

Hopefully hes got some hunger back after the Bader fight and has a good pop at Evans but it must be hard for any fighter to come in so soon after an emotional win like tito has just had...He will have been winding down and basking in the glory of his win and all of a sudden he has to find the mentality to focus on this fight!! I think hell struggle mentally to get up for this and expect a Rashad win aswell!



Also lil Nogs pulled out injured from his fight with Franklin,leaving him being cut from the card as there is no one to replace him!
