Also From The Article...
One option — and this is pure speculation — is that Velasquez could fight Mirko Cro Cop, who was confirmed for the UFC 99 card on Monday. Cro Cop was expected to take on Mostapha Al Turk, but a Cro Cop-Velasquez fight would be much bigger than Cro Cop-Al Turk or Herring-Velasquez.

Damn

There goes Cain’s title shot.

Poor Kongo – he’s probably getting sacrificed at the altar of Carwin now.

isn’t it more likely that valesquez’ll fight the british dude al-turk was supposed to? if there bringing crocop back, i doubt they’d risk him being a bust out of the gate

I think Duffee is seen as a prospect, maybe not on the Carwin/Cain level but a potential top heavyweight at least. They won’t stick him in there with Cain.

Perhaps we can get the highly anticipated Velasquez vs Stojnic rematch!

Not British

Duffee’s American I believe

my bad

i just assumed, based on this line in the mania article “Todd Duffee, who fights out of the famous London Shoot gym in the United Kingdom.”

Must be a typo

Duffee trains at ATT, and is American-born and bred.

… i wouldn’t mind seeing him fight gonzaga

by woooburn on May 19, 2009 11:27 PM EDT reply actions  

Dude...

Just saw this. Major bummer. I was thinking of betting on Herring.

I poop rainbows.

Well, then whatever virus he got saved you some money. Not sold on Velasquez?
