Lorenzo has confirmed that Cain Velasquez will face Frank Mir next, and Tito Ortiz will face Forrest Griffin next.

Reportedly Roger Gracie has signed with the UFC according to GracieMag,

Cain vs Mir is a great one, another really exciting fight for the Devision. Gotta be a number 1 contenders fight I take it. I dont know when Cormier vs Barnett is. Great matchmaking though it made the most sence.

Dont see Cain as the figther some people on here do but I think Wrestling + Powerfull hands will make for a repeat of the Carwin fight.

So Where does that leave the rest of the devision?

Bigfoot vs Carwin
Werdum vs Nog

Id say that could be what we see next.

Just read Nog asked for Kongo or Carwin when he comes back. Id love to see either of those figths.

Tito vs Forrest could end up being a double retirement type thing.

Tito is retireing anyway I suppose its how Forrest looks. His heart isnt in MMA anymore by the sounds of it. A loss would probabally end his career too.

He is still a Ranked fighter but I dont see him vs Tito being much different than the 1st two. Someone will edge on the cards in a close fight. Says a lot that Forrest a top 10 guy is a even fight for Tito, I think that Sums up Forrest, he was in the right place at the right time to get ranked but I dont think id back him against the guys ranked near him.

Having said that the 205 devision is thin on contenders and I could see Forrest fighting Machida or Rampage off the back of a win over Tito.

If Hendricks can repeat his destruction of Fitch on Kos, he will officially be my favourite fighter and the greatest of all time.

I read something recently where Forrest was talking about retiring but I can't find it now. I think he should quit to be honest. He's not going to win the title or even get a shot ever again so what's the point? He's financially set for a long time and has a good future as a trainer ahead of him.

Alan Belcher vs Rousimar Palhares fight added to FOX card.

a decent step up for palhares

True, still taking Palhares via submission though.

Whats the craic with Feijao? I wonder if he would take the fight?

Palhares by Sub all day, I like Belcher id like to see him fight Bisping and I think he can be top 15 but Palhares id back against nearly anyone right now.

Belcher best call a knee and ankle surgeon.

Palhares to destroy him, and then hopefully get Bitchping.

Yes! The timeframe is perfect, get Bisping to UD someone ranked about 15, then Palhares-Bisping in a No1 contenders match!

It's gotta happen

How is Belcher's takedown defense? You got to give him advantage in the standup.

Good point, havnt heard his name mentioned in a while. He would be a good replacement.

Not good enough to keep the fight standing with Palhares, I cant remember anyone keeping the fight Standing with Palhares, Hendo fought a sprawl and Brawl tactic and had a really hard time keeping Palhares off him and still got taken down. I cant see Belcher surviving more than 2 rounds.

SF only have about 5 Lhw's its a pointless devision. Maby they should look to a UFC fighter with no scheduled fights if Feijao cant fight? Mousasi vs Franklin would work for me because they are both really 185ers.

Id like Jacare to step up to 205 and fight him too.

Id like Jacare to step up and rematch him too or maby Mousasi would go back to 185?

Scott Smith vs. Lumumba Sayers has apparently been promoted to the main card so it looks like Mousasi is off the card now too.
