    WOW! Awesome news!!

    Well, hard one to call. Rampage had a long time off before their first fight so I don't know if that played a part in the result. I'm going to go out on a limb though and call it a Rashad decision I think, although i'd love to see Rampage knock Rashad out Machida style

    If Thiago is injured, it would make more sense to pull Machida from his pointless fight with Couture and make the rematch that should have happened in the first place.

    Apparently Rashad has only been approached as of yet because Silva may have failed a drugs test at UFC 125. This is what MMA Junkie said:

    it's been reported that Rashad has only been "approached" about the fight in case Thiago is indeed out. Initial theories indicate a possible failed drugs test following UFC 125, where NSAC executive director Keith Kizer says the commission "is still investigating at least one sample from the event" and that Silva had indeed submitted a pre-fight screen.

    Damn i was more excited about Thiago-Rampage.

    I think Evans takes this again, and i don't anticipate it being too exciting.....could be wrong though!!

    Thiago is not injured but apparently his drug test sample is still being process while all others of UFC 125 have come back clean.
