Any thoughts on the Elite XC event this weekend? I think we are all relieved that Kimbo was left off this card as he put on a horrible performance in his debut. I am very excited to see Lawler and Smith go at it again as most were dissappointed at the stoppage of a great slugfest last time; I have a feeling one will make a mistake and get KO'd as they both threw bombs last time.

He can't stay away. If he did sign back, he would have a fairly easy first match and then I think Dana would feed him to the dogs.

I know it's only been two months since TUF Finale, but I'm kinda curious if anyone has heard anything about future plans for Sadollah and the UFC.
I'd like to see him fight sometime before the year is over, but as a rookie, I can understand why the UFC might want to hold off and make sure he is 100% ready to get some wins and make them proud.

I didnt see the thread, but i figured this would be worth mentioning...the ufc confirmed that ufc 89 would be brodcast for free on spike, when they showed the events coming up during the ufc 87 ppv, that should be a good free card with machida and silva, and bisping and leben.

From cagepotato.com...
Just as Kenny Florian won’t be sitting on the bench until BJ Penn decides to give him a title shot, Penn also wants to get another fight in by the year’s end, even though
