I wouldn't and neither will Dana. Fedor has nothing left to offer the UFC at this point in his career.

I wouldn't mind seeing Fedor in the UFC, but he certainly doesn't deserve an automatic shot against JDS at this point in his career.

It was only a matter of time and Vegas caught him. I KNOW he wasnt expecting a test right after the press conference so it screwed up his ability to cycle the steroids out of his system like he's been able to do for most fights.

The good thing is that this is an all HW card so they can just move the fights around. Mir's won 3 in a row and 4 of his last 5 so give him a shot at JDS. Move Nelson up and have him face Cain. Find another HW to fight Big Foot.

My proposal:

Mir moves up for the HW belt.
Pull Werdum from his fight against Mike Russow, place him against Cain for #1 contender.

Problem fixed. Card isn't as good, but salvages the card without doing too much reshuffling.

Exactly. Who would Fedor fight on this card? He's lost 3 out of 5 so he doesnt deserve Cain, JDS or Mir. Big Foot destroyed him. He's beat Hunt.

Fedor isnt worth the headache M1 brings at this point.

Just move Shane del Rosario up to fight Big Foot.
I wonder if Dana will cut him though, considering he also is due for 3 months in prison.

I do like this, BUT JDS already demolished Werdum, noone is clamoring for that rematch.

Yes, JDS obliterated Werdum, but keep in mind Werdum clearly underestimated JDS. That fight was designed for Werdum to get a highlight reel win on his way towards a championship fight, but unfortunately JDS uppercutted Werdum's head into the fifth row.

I'm not saying Werdum would win a rematch, but you can sell him on a #1 contender fight with Cain. Werdum is a legitimate top 10 HW, probably top 5 come to think of it.
