Jim Miller - Jim will be bringing into UFC 100 a 13 and 2 record with his …

As if the largest MMA event in history could not get any bigger the UFC has gone ahead and added an 11th bout between Mac Danzig and Jim Miller.
To me this match is one that has serious implications for Mac Danzig. Nobody wants to be the first winner of the ultimate fighter cut from the UFC. To me its nearly as bad as being an American Idol winner like Ruben dropped from your label. He lost to Clay Guida, lost to Josh Neer and frankly …

Looks like Yoshihiro won’t be sitting on the sidelines much longer as he looks to take on Alan the talent Belcher at UFC 100.
Yoshihiro is 12-1 and should be able to dispatch of the bipolar Belcher very easily. The current UFC 100 card at this point is as follows
Dan Henderson vs. Michael Bisping
Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves
Frank Mir vs. Brock Lesnar
Alan Belcher vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama
What a card, 2 title fights, another main event worthy fight and the debut of one of the world’s best middleweights.

The betting odds are out on UFC 96, slated to take place on March 7, 2009 in Columbus, Ohio.  The card features the undefeated Shane Carwin against MMA vet and odds-on favorite Gabriel Gonzaga (-175) in a heavyweight scrap.  And, of course, the on-the-whole-a-very-unsexy card will be headlining the top light heavyweight contender Quinton “Rampage” Jackson against former Ultimate Fighter Keith “The Dean of Mean” Jardine.
Rampage comes into the fight a near 3 to 1 favorite at -295, while the moneyline on Jardine currently stands at +235.  With a win …

It looks like Mike Swick and Cain Velasquez are going to not be involved in UFC 100. Both fighters mentioned that they are targeting participating in UFC 99 from Germany.
A lot of people on the internet want to see Cain Velasquez fight someone note worthy like Kongo or Carwin, but the reality is the UFC is marketing this guy. They want him to amass a lot of wins so the fans get fired up to see him before giving him an opponent that could beat him. I …

BJ Penn according to Sherdog has no desire to fight until late July or Early August so he can spend time with his family. This rules him out of UFC 99 leaving the current headliner there Wanderlei Silva against Rich Franklin.
We are still negotiating the fight,” the elder Penn said. “No date [is] scheduled, but we are thinking late July or early August.”

Personally I’m ok with this because it ups our chances to see Baby J in action at UFC 100 against Kenny Florian and it also buys us …

It was recently announced by Dana White that Michael Bisping will in fact be facing Dan Henderson at UFC 100 on July 11th. Many have argued this will serve as the main event for the pay per view being that after the reality show both fighters will be in the public’s eye. I disagree and think this fight will serve as the third fight from the end behind Georges St-Pierre vs. Thiago Alves and the yet unannounced main event.
That being said I wanted to spend some time breaking …
