More and more smoke to the rumors, he is in Vegas, his people have said if he comes back he wants a top 3 opp, even Cain without the belt on the line

Fedor is apparently in Las Vegas as well. The plot thickens.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

There has been some stirring the past couple of days that Brock Lesnar is thinking about a UFC return in some capacity. I'm not sure how much truth there is to that, but the original source I saw it from has broken news in the past, so I haven't dismissed it completely.

Things sure were entertaining when Brock was around. I could see him back for a fight or two if is health allows it. Maybe he got some of his soul back that Overeem stole.

Lesnar-Mir III would still draw money, just based on the promo work of both guys. You could also put Lesnar in there with Josh Barnett and that would be a lot of fun.

IF he were to come back, I'd keep him away from guys like Dos Santos and Velasquez.

Corey Hill on broken bones and the realities of Anderson Silva's long road to recovery

Really good article. UFC left him out to dry. Had to pay for rehab and all that out of pocket because he wasn't a star. Lost his house and everything. Wow.

Question: Did UFC assist Hill?
Great article on Corey Hill. I remember that fight and night vividly. I'm curious and I didn't see anything mentioned in your article, but what kind of assistance did Corey receive from the Ultimate Fighting Championship and president Dana White after this terrible injury? Did they help him in any way besides paying him his fight purse? Paid medical? Extra money? Thanks.

Answer: Hill says they did. To quote him directly, he said, "The UFC was awesome throughout this whole thing and was so good to me, I feel indebted to them."

Michael Johnson is campaigning for a fight against Nate Diaz on Twitter. Love the matchup, especially with how he has looked as of late. That would be a fun fight if Diaz plans on staying at that weight.

Time for Rumble to have another shot in the UFC. Had a big KO just now over Mike Kyle.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

It would be cool, but in reality ever since he got booted from the UFC, he fought and beat nothing but a bunch of nobodies and one very out of shape and past his prime Andrei Arlovski.

The problem is there is nothing but nobodies at LHW outside of the UFC. Also Rumble didnt get cut because of losses. He got cut because he wasnt disciplined enough to make 185 or 170 anymore. He's now made 205 4 times and won 6 in a row. Its time to give him another shot at the big show.

Dave Branch
Andrei Arlovski
DJ Linderman
Mike Kyle
Jake Rosholt

None of these guys are nobodies. Rumble deserves another shot. Also who knows, he might be still in the UFC if not for the atrocious reffing by Big Dan in his fight against Rumble with those instant standups.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Julianna Pena is out for at least 2 years. She tore her ACL, MCL, LCL, meniscus and hamstring in a "training accident" at her home gym. Dana White is pissed........

[p_rushing]

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Dana's tweet makes it sound interesting what happened, saying she should leave her gym now.

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

How the hell do you tear all of that?!

Re: OS MMA Random Thread

Yeah, I want to find out the entire story. Dana White is pretty emotional all the time, but he sounds extra disgusted with this situation. Pena has a bright future in the UFC, and it will be a shame if she doesn't recover 100% from this. That's a devastating list of injuries to say the least.
