I'm a massive Wand fan, but I dunno if they should toss him in with the contenders for his first fight at UD. I'd like them to give him a good test, thought I do admit in the Rich Franklin fight he looked pretty decent and I personally thought he won I think a 'tune up' fight will be good for Wanderlei when he returns to the octagon. Oh and if anyone keeps up with his youtube channel he looks alot better, his facial surgery seemed to have went well and he looks leaner, I think we're gonna see a brand new Wand, I think Wilson Gouveia will be a good return fight for him, though it would be a tough one for me to watch, those are two of my faves at MW.

After Okami handles Sonnen I'd love to see him take on Maia. I suppose Dan/Nate could fight for the title, but I personally think that Dan should get the title shot then let Vitor/Nate go at it for the next shot. Dan has three great wins in a row, beating Rousimar Palhares, who is a straight BEAST of a man, Rich Franklin, and crumpling Bisping, I think the shot is more deserved than anyone else. Nate has three good wins, but I consider Dan's to be against the more formidable opponents for sure.

That's just my take on the UFC MW situation.
 
     
 
I can see your coming from just that. When facing the best fighter on the planet (my opinion) then you should have to beat some of the best of the division first. Espicially conisdering that both of them got finished by Anderson in under two rounds. I just think if they fight each other it will give them a chance to not only better prepare but, to define the true number one contender. Then maybe have Vitor fight somone and if he wins he goes on to fight the loser of the Dan vs Nate fight.

Wow that Kim Couture vs Kerry Vera fight is really cool considering their husbands...(well Kim's ex husband)... are fighting the week before they are, should be awesome. I'm pullin' for the Veras cuz I loves me some Muay Thai.

I wonder if Kim still trains at xtreme couture?

Seems like a bad move on her part but, it would be really akward to still be at xtreme couture and your his ex wife. Anyone have any idea's why she moved out to that camp? I am guessing it would be she likes training Vegas. Or at least thats what I am seeing.

Yeah I saw it. Kimbo has no choice but to pick up some ground skills if he ever hopes to have some legitimacy to back up his drawing power. He got stuck in a Crucifix.
     
I'd bring back Thales Leites for Wanderlei's first fight at MW. Or Travis Lutter. Someone who doesn't really stand much of a chance on the feet.

But Kimbo was doing pretty well in the stand up ... he rocked Big Country ... and Roy wasn't really hitting him ... more like pawing ...

Oh certainly, I dont disagree. Kimbo's got some standup, he just needs to really work that ground game or every guy he fightss will know just to plant him on his rear.
 
     
 
He's working at ATT now, so he'll have no choice but to get better. I don't think ATT has any good heavyweights though.

Well I think Jeff Monson trains there, though from what I hear he and Kimbo don't really like each other so i doubt they'll be exchanging tips over tea.

I totally forgot about The Snowman. Yeah, you know, Monson knows the ******** can't read, so XD

He'll just have to suck it up. You train with Jeff Monson on the ground, you're going to learn something.
