    I think Brett is a good pick up for Bellator but I give him nothing more than a punchers chance against Konrad which I imagine will be the next fight for Cole If Brett wins.

    Not in my opinion he probably see's it as a step down from pecking order and if he loses to him then he's defo out of picture .
    He's getting older now and after loss to hendo last thing shogun needs is another loss to a angerous youngster. Just playing it safe so to speak methinks

    I think Dana is trying to build up Glover at Shoguns expense, he sees that Shogun is past his best days due to injuries, and will never be a viable title challenger....unlike Glover potentially could be.

    thats the reason he tried to make the fight and thats why he is throwing Shogun under the bus, to make it look Glover made Shogun run away.

    Dana:

    "He [Shogun] said that he'd actually rather be cut than have to fight him. Dude, nobody wants to fight this guy....NOBODY wants to fight Glover."

    well thats my cynical view.

    and im not really sure why Shogun declined it anyways and then took a fight with Vera

    Shogun is coming off a beating at the hands of Henderson, in terms of the physical injuries he sustained in the fight rather than the end decision. Maybe he doesn't fancy going straight into a fight against a potential title contender just yet.

    I did see a thread on Sherdog I think where someone stated the cheap seats are £75 with a link provided too.

    Thanks mate, £75 is quite dear for the cheapest ticket, or is that normal?

    Good for Tito certainly deserves to be in there no doubts.

    Back to the tickets here is a link to the Capital FM website.

    My mate said to me earlier that the cheapest was £75, but I thought he was having me on!! I was expecting cheapest to be more around £40 or so. Aww well, either way i'll be there... but as you say it better be a decent card!!!

    I think the presales start in the morning mate.

    Strikeforce light heavyweight Rafael "Feijao" Cavalcante tested positive for a banned substance following his win over Mike Kyle last month in San Jose, Calif. The California State Athletic Commission executive officer George Dodd confirmed the news with MMAFighting.com on Friday. Boxing reporter Gabriel Montoya first reported the news on Twitter.

    As a result, Cavalcante has been suspended for one year and fined $2,500 by the CSAC.

    Dodd refused to disclose which banned substance Cavalcante tested positive for because he was not at his office when contacted by MMAFighting.com. He said the CSAC sent Cavalcante a letter earlier this week informing him of the failed test but they have yet to hear back from him.

    Ed Soares, Cavalcante's manager, told MMAFighting.com that they have replied to the CSAC's letter and will be appealing the suspension.

    "I believe in his innocence, and we're fighting it," Soares said. "We stand behind him. There's a lot of stuff that doesn't make sense."

    Strikeforce officials were not immediately available for comment when contacted by MMAFighting.com.

    Cavalcante submitted Kyle at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Thomson III in just 33 seconds last month. He was rumored to be in line for a title shot against Gegard Mousasi later this year.

    This marks the third high-profile Strikeforce fighter to be accused of testing positive for a banned substance this year after Cris "Cyborg" Santos and Muhammed Lawal were both suspended by the CSAC and Nevada State Athletic Commission, respectively.

    There goes the proposed Mousasi-Fejiao fight for the vacant title.

    Fucking hell, just scrap the devision! I dont know the thinking behind even having a Lhw devision that really now is just Mousasi. Mo is gone, Feijao is suspended, Kyle just lost to him.

    I feel really bad for Mousasi, SF are really ruining fighters career keeping them so inactive like this.

    Seems no one is updating the Live feeds... what fights have happened? Heard Monson weighed in at 235.. lowest in ages, he is scheduled for a Lhw fight for the 1st time in ages this year! I think its long overdue! Im working to 6 so hope I can catch a live stream. Really hoping for Rizzo to KO Fedor. Twisted Evil

    cheers lads, ill be sticking that on soon as I get in the door! Lets go Rizzo!!! Id love to see him batter Fedor with Kicks and KO him. Id say that would earn him a spot back in UFC. Bellator at the very least!

    Hope Monson wins too, only Cormier and Fedor have kicked his ass recently and neither stopped him. If SF really plan on keeping their 2 fighter Lhw devision Monson will make a great adition if he bulks down as planned.

    Can't see that happening Ben I think Fedor will smash Rizzo probably dropping him on way to a TKO in the 1st. I'm looking forward to the Guram vs Garner rematch Garner has been on a little roll of late and Gurman hasn't fought for near 18 months will be interesting to see if that has an effect.
