Rumor mill

is saying Jacob Volkmann will step in. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.

So as Fitch keeps losing opponents

the UFC keeps taking away Paulo Thiago’s opponents as replacement? That’s just not nice.

Keep Thiago-Volkmann, and let Fitch fight Hughes.

not gonna happen

even if Hughes decided to grow up and fight one of the AKA boys, he definitely won’t do it on short notice. Unless Dana wanted to sweeten the deal significantly. They may be screwed here, unless they pull another opponent from another already scheduled fight.

Imagine if Maynard moved up in weight to fight Jon Fitch.

They’d probably go ahead and just start that fight on the ground.

How about moving Belcher/Gouveia up to the main card instead?

Fight's Still on!

From AmericanTopTeam’s account on the UG:

Just to clear things up, I watched Pitbull training yesterday and just spoke to him. He is fighting against Mr. Fitch at UFC 107. I hope that puts an end to the rumors that I have seen floating around on various websites.

What happened to 5oz? It was never great but it used to be entertaining. The mma draft was fun. Shits awful now.

Yea an 100% Alves has already gotten finished by Fitch, I would hate to see what would happen to a 60% Alves.

I know he won’t take it, but the best way to fix this scenario is to call up Matt Hughes.

by SanDiegoMMA.net on Oct 30, 2009 1:03 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

If he won’t take it how is that the best way to fix it?

It may not be related but Trigg just tweeted that he signed a bout agreement this morning. I know he was rumored for Serra in Jan and he is rehabbing. Can anyone with connections confirm his bout agreement?

by swells2048 on Oct 30, 2009 1:04 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I feel bad for Thiago. You just know he wanted this fight in a bad bad way.
