Suppose to be a big announcement later tonight on FS1, rumors it is about Vitor...

Machida vs Weidman new main event
They showed statment from Vitor, basically he is going to stop using TRT but with fight card so close he needs time to adjust training without it.

Machida is going to give Weidman problems. His timings are strange and his style should be pretty well suited to Weidman's pressure.
That said, I'm not sure I like seeing Machida get a title fight after TWO fights at his weight class. Seems way too early for me. Get another win or two and then maybe you get to rumble with the champ. It is what it is though, should be a good fight. If Weidman wins convincingly, it would be a pretty huge statement about his legitimacy as a champ.

Haha, the UFC is really pushing this "USA vs. Brazil" thing...
- TUF Brazil: Silva v. Sonnen
- UFC Fight Night: Henderson v. Rua II (not as big of a country vs. country as the other two but still...)
- UFC 173: Weidman v. Machida

They have to more than ever now to keep fans down there. Their Brazilian champion...who also happens to be one of the most popular fighters in MMA history...will likely never fight again.

OK, it's not as bad as I originally thought - they're moving the fight to UFC 175 on July 5.

Chris Holdsworth (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/chris-holdsworth) vs. Kyung Ho Kang (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/kyung-ho-kang) -- I saw him at Grappler's Quest last August, so that means we're like, you know, friends n' shit. I'm picking him because we're bros n' shit.
James Krause (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/james-krause) vs. Jamie Varner (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/jamie-varner) -- I love me some Varner!
Renan Barao (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/renan-barao) vs. T.J. Dillashaw (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/tj-dillashaw)-- Haha, this is going to be such an epic ass raping.
Tony Ferguson (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/tony-ferguson) vs. Katsunori Kikuno (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/katsunori-kikuno) -- Easy pick. Ferguson has looked fantastic in pretty much all his fights.
Jake Ellenberger (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/jake-ellenberger) vs. Robbie Lawler (http://mmajunkie.com/fighters/robbie-lawler) -- I bet most of you weiner-dicks pick Lawler. I laugh in your faces. Hahaha!

Renan Barao vs. T.J. Dillashaw for UFC bantamweight title - you all know I'm a big Team Alpha Male fan, but TJ's just not ready for this. Barao is too good and TJ is too green.
Daniel Cormier vs. Dan Henderson - heart over head pick #believeinhendo
Jake Ellenberger vs. Robbie Lawler - should be a fun fight, but Lawler is basically just a better version of Ellenberger
Takeya Mizugaki vs. Francisco Rivera - Mizugaki's style isn't good for Rivera
James Krause vs. Jamie Varner - I think that Varner's activity will eventually just wear down Krause
Chris Holdsworth vs. Chico Camus - TEAM ALPHA MALE MUTHAF****RS!!!!
