So TJ Dillashaw is the Bantamweight Champ..... I didn't even watch last night because I thought Barao would when with little fanfare.

Funny thing is that Dillashaw isn't even part of the playable roster in the forthcoming EA UFC game.

Dana White just announced on Twitter that Robbie Lawler will face Matt Brown in the ME of the UFC On FOX card in San Jose. The winner will face Johny Hendricks for the Welterweight Championship.
OK, I am seriously pumped. This is gonna be a GREAT show.

So happy that TJ brought home a World Championship! I'm guessing Chad Mendes may not be that big of an underdog come UFC 176. Not after what happened to Barao.

Chad is a baddass fighter and a really nice dude. I used to see him on a daily basis at my old job and I'm hoping he wins.

In the not at all shocking news of the day, Wanderlei Silva is supposedly out of his fight with Chael Sonnen in July. Ariel Helwani tweeted a link to the story, it's in Portuguese, but from what I can gather, Sonnen and Silva were both scheduled to meet with the the athletic commission in Nevada to be tested and granted their licenses. Sonnen was there and was cleared while Silva didn't even show up. Sonnen will now face Vitor Belfort.

On the other hand, he did say that he didn't want to retire until he fought Vitor, so he gets that fight at least.

The Vitor fight isn't a lock yet. He still has to be licensed. I think I saw Helwani say by mid June that will be known.

Making things interesting still, the fight is at Light Heavyweight, BUT! The winner will face the winner of Weidman vs. Machida for the Middleweight Championship (according to reports thus far. Also, Chael himself is gonna be talking about this whole situation tonight on UFC Tonight).

He also said Silva literally ran from the test, leaving out a side door when the commission came to his gym to test him. Chael did claim that this likely proves that Silva was on PEDs. Hard to argue Silva wasn't doing something since he avoided the test. Unless he really doesn't want to fight Chael that bad.

From what I read, if this whole thing is true and possibly worse, Dana may give Wanderlei the boot. It has not taken long at all for this to escalate at an alarming pace.

Yeah running from taking a test is absolutely grounds for dismissal.

Well there's a shitSandstorm for you! Dammit Wandy say it ain't so! Good for Bellator if that number is true, Rampage and Tito can still bring in the numbers.
