Rumor: Gracie vs. Hughes for UFC 112

Sources say there is a good chance we'll see Renzo Gracie take on Matt Hughes as a co-main event for UFC 112. It's no secret that there's bad blood between these two.

Koscheck Out of UFC 109

Top UFC Welterweight contender Josh Koscheck has been forced out of UFC 109 due to an undisclosed injury.

"It's all good & I'll get my body rested & back to the top real soon." - Josh Koscheck

UFC 110

If you ask me this card looks like every single fight will be an awesome one. I'm pretty sure that the winner of Nogueira vs. Velasquez will get a title shot be it against who ever is champion at the time (Lesnar, Carwin or Mir). In my opinion Mr. Bisping has no chance of defeating the "Axe Murderer" especially since it's almost a guarantee that come fight time Wanderlei will be the heavier and stronger of the two. All in all, it should be a great night of fights.

•MAIN CARD•
-------------------
• Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez
• Michael Bisping vs. Wanderlei Silva
• George Sotiropoulos vs. Joe Stevenson
• Ryan Bader vs. Keith Jardine
• Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic vs. Ben Rothwell

Cung Le Returns

Cung Le is set to make his long awaited return to the cage at Strikeforce “Evolution” against Scott Smith on Dec. 19 in San Jose, CA. Cung Le recently relinquished his Strikeforce middleweight title to pursue a film career. The San Shou veteran looks to continue in his winning ways since defeating Frank Shamrock last March.

One Step Closer to Making it Official

Apparently my previous fear is looking like it may become a reality. Shane Carwin has confirmed that he will most likely be fighting in March at UFC 111, but no word yet (officially) on who? Rumor has it being against Frank Mir for the interim heavyweight title.

From Shane Carwin's official website:

I expect to make my return to the UFC in March 2010. I will be fighting in Newark New Jersey at UFC 111. I have not signed any contracts yet but I have told my manager to inform UFC Matchmaker that "I accept the offer".

I will have been out of the Octagon for about a year when this fight happens but I expect to be in the best shape of my life.

I do hope to someday get the opportunity to punch Brock a few times and hope he has a speedy and full recovery. I look forward to fighting again, fighting is what I love to do.

I have a ton of respect for my proposed opponent. He has a good stand up game and can be effective on the ground. The only way to become the best fighter is to continually challenge yourself against the best fighters in the World.

I will let everyone know when the fight is "officially signed". Thank you for your support and thank you to my generous sponsors who have supported me on this road to the title.

-Shane
