Bobby Lashely Confirms Recent Talks With The UFC -
When I get to the UFC, I want people to say ‘Bobby is good enough to go for the title.’ I would like to be holding a 5-0 or 6-0 record, somewhere around there before going into the UFC. I think it will be a few months or possibly a year until the former WWE star makes the big step up in MMA. Maybe a title shot against former WWE champ and current heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar might wet the appetite of non UFC/MMA fans.
Another heavyweight battle is confirmed – Cain Velasquez vs Heath Herring Official for UFC 99, check out the official card here
UFC Announces TUF 9 Finale fight, Welterweight battle between Diego Sanchez vs. Clay Guida. Sanchez winning his debut Welterweight fight against Joe Daddy Stevenson at UFC 95 and Clay Guida the madman as I call him beat Nate Diaz at UFC 94. It will be an interesting fight as the weight drop and training will be tested to the extreme from the mental but talented Clay Guida.

Check out the almost rumble between Miller and Browning at the weigh ins -
Maybe they should have let it go as Fight Night isn’t exactly wetting many UFC or MMA’s pallet. I would imagine there will be a shake up after this one as Joe Silva and Dana White will look to return to the old glory days of mid week MMA.
