After the results for UFC 88 were in and Rashad Evans landed the punch heard around the MMA world, he is going to get a title shot against current light heavy weight champion Forrest Griffin.

In a recent interview Rich Franklin talked about his move to the 205 weight class. For a guy that was dominant champion then dominated twice by the current champion he is in a tricky spot (UFC 64 Results and UFC 77 Results). Franklin said “So really, I’m stuck in a position of fighting guys who just lost their title shot to Anderson, and it leaves me in a position in the weight class where I don’t have a whole lot to look forward to other than my next fight.” With people that are this competitive it only makes sense that Franklin would want to get out of a weight class that haw a ceiling that doesn’t involve him as the title holder.

Brock Lesnar has just let everyone know that he doesn’t give a shit about Fedor. In the upcoming UFC 91: Couture vs. Lesnar, Brock is aiming to prove himself to the MMA world and is starting by running his mouth about “The Last Emperor.” Not a good start in my opinion.
“Who gives a shit about Fedor Emelianenko?” Lesnar started “I’m sick and tired of sitting on the phone listening about Fedor. Who f***ing gives a shit?”.

It has been announced that on November 15th, 2008, the 45 year old champ Randy “The Natural” Couture will return to the UFC. Although Couture has had previous problems with his contract with the UFC, the champ will return at UFC 91 to face the rising UFC star Brock Lesnar. Lesnar is coming off a recent win at UFC 87: Seek and Destroy over Heath Herring and is looking to prove himself to the MMA world. Couture is confident he will be able to pin point the holes in Lesnar’s game since he has already made the transition from wrestler to MMA fighter and Lesnar is currently making the transition himself. More details to come. Stay tuned for the UFC 91 Results.
