Urijah Faber is the Batista of MMA....unlimited title rematches. I'm sure that joke's been made before but I didn't see it. Therefore it never existed.

Coaching Lightweights and Welterweights, this will be amusing to watch.

GSP is out at least 10 months with a torn ACL so instead of him sitting on the belt like Lesnar then Cain did, they're making an interim title fight with Diaz vs. Condit

Oh man interim belts are stupid, wish they wouldn't go that route. Diaz/Condit should be great though.

Interim belts make sense for prolonged injuries, like when Frank Mir was champ way back at UFC 40-whatever. But it has to be at least a year.

On one hand, YAY! Condit gets a title shot again!
On the other, damn, Diaz is still getting a title shot.

From the UFC on Fox press conference, Evans-Davis winner gets the next LHW title shot while Sonnen-Munoz winner gets next MW title shot. In addition to that, Bisping will face Maia at the event and the winner of that is expected to get the next shot after the Sonnen-Munoz winner.
Seeing as how Anderson is expected to be out for a good part of 2012 I'm predicting the winners of those two fights facing each other down the road. Also I got Bisping winning via Maia trying to strike.

1. I'm shocked Diaz is still employed after the bulls*** he pulled at the press conference for when he was fighting GSP. Much less getting a title shot opportunity he doesn't deserve.
2. The title elimnation fights for MW and LHW seem logical enough.
3. There should be a condition in the Faber/Cruz rematch where if Faber loses, he can't challenge for the title again as long as Cruz is champion.

Miquel Angel Torres has been released from the UFC after the following tweet: @migueltorresmma If a rape van was called a surprise van more women wouldn't mind going for rides in them. Everyone likes surprises. Quote from an interview with Dana

They really should make a law where all Wrestlers and MMA fighters should be banned from twitter.

Total BS that he got released over a stupid joke, I'll take it more seriously when he fires Forrest and Rashad for their suggestive jokes too. Guess "Dana f***in White" isn't Mr. Badass now that he has Fox breathing down his neck.

Lame cutting. It's not even that terrible of a joke.

Well this firing is just a quick fire PR job and once Torres gains a few wins in Bellator or any other minor league promotion Dana White will quietly rehire him and will pretend this never happened.

I heard it was pot related, but nothing is even close to solid yet.

Dana denied this at the press conference, but we should find out more during the week.

I'm surprised they're going to crown a flyweight champion so fast. I thought they were going to wait and let the guys fight and develop the division a bit first.
