News & Notes
-Former UFC LHW champ Rampage Jackson and UFC veteran Keith Jardine will face off at UFC 96. If Rampage wins he will fight Jardine’s training partner and friend LHW champ Rashad Evans. If Rampage losses to Jardine the title shot may go to undefeated karate fighter Lyoto “The Dragon” Machida as Jardine has said he would not fight Rashad.
-Rumors have resurfaced that WAMMA HW Champion Fedor Emliananko could sign with the UFC possibly for a match at UFC 100. Although, this is still speculation UFC president Dana White and owner Lorenzo Fertitta have recently expressed interest in signing the P4P best fighter in the world.
-UFC Veteran Din Thomas (23-8) signs a 3 fight contract with Affliction MMA. Din will be a marquee name that can help to build Afflictions featherweight division. It also, helps to quiet speculation that Affliction might fold before its third event set for later this summer.

If MMAStoppage was the champ, I would not let our friendship get in the way of me whooping his @$$.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair though, MMAStoppage is not Rashad Evans...
Your right MMAStoppage is no Rashad Evans. If MMAStoppage was a fighter he would be a cross between Rickson Gracie and Fedor Emeliananko with a pinch of Bruce Lee thrown in. But, you do move a little like Keith Jardine. Thanks, for the add brother.
