After “The Ultimate Fighter 7″ finale is over and there has been enough bad words said between Quinton Jackson and Forrest Griffin they’ll face each other in the Octagon and headline UFC86 in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Jackson’s last fight was his first defense of his title against Dan Henderson via unanimous boredom. Let’s hope that young blood Griffin brings some spark to the Octagon and kicks the crap out of Rampage. I know he’s defended the title once but I want to see a new title holder already!
Griffin knows all about being TUF since he won the first season of it. He earned his shot at Rampage after beating Mauricio Rua by rear naked choke way back last September. It was a shock to see that happen, I’m not going to lie but he won fair and square and was impressive en route.
This will undoubtedly be a HUGE event. I’m looking forward to it.

Yes that’s right fight fans you’ve heard it here first. Bad guy Mr T is hours away from signing a contract to fight the big guy, Hong Man Choi. The “Techno Goliath’ is supposed to sign another fight contract and Mr T is supposed to fight him in K-1.
Seriously, does anyone want to see this fight?

Watch this space. Randy Couture could fight Fedor Emelianenko in the UFC!
That’s right kids, the only man that is left for Couture to fight is Fedor Emelianenko, so much so that he left his contract blowing (somewhere) in the wind way back after beating Gabriel Gonzaga to take the UFC heavyweight championship belt.
Meanwhile things aren’t working out too well with Fedor Emelianenko and thus he is being released from his contract next week. Looks like M-1 didn’t work out too well, besides, the UFC has the money so it makes sense that he’ll come over and fight in the Octagon.
Watch this space for more news. It’s like the Liddell Vs Wandy fight that we thought would never happen but it did! I’ll leave you with butthead’s (Dana White) comments about Fedor:
Emelianenko is about to get out of his M-1 Global contract, and, in the words of his manager, “Officially, yes, Fedor will be a free agent.” UFC President Dana White responded to that news by saying he would try to sign Emelianenko, “Absolutely, 100 percent, in a heartbeat. People think he’s the best - I don’t, not even close. But if it’s somehow possible, I would make it happen.”
GREAT attitude. That’s REALLY gonna make the guy want to sign. Another reason why I think the fight may not happen in the UFC is because of Couture’s public outing of how the UFC rips off their fighters.

It seems like the draw against Tito Ortiz and the split decision snoozer win over Michael Bisping has earned Rashad Evans a shot at the former Light Heavyweight champion. Chuck’s had a few fights since losing his title so he’s not exactly in contention for the title any time soon. Perhaps a win against Evans might kick him up the list?
Chuck Liddell impressed with a good win over the Axe Murderer, Wanderlei Silva. Roll on UFC85!
Heavyweights Fabricio Werdum and Brandon Vera will face each other as the only other confirmed fighters on the card.
