Dream fights
For awhile, the fight everyone wanted to see was Randy Couture vs. Fedor Emelianenko. Then Brock Lesnar happened. With Fedor ducking the UFC, it’s not likely we’ll ever get Lesnar vs. Fedor, but is that still the fight everyone wants?... For awhile, the fight everyone wanted to see was Randy Cout...

Gina Carano backlash?
I’m sure a lot of people will call her a sellout but she’s done more than her fair share for women’s MMA and she deserves a payday bigger than what she’s getting currently. She should do what’s right for Gina Carano, not what’s right for women’s MMA.

UFC 90 news and notes
A few other things to take away from UFC 90: Thiago Alves should be the No. 1 contender at welterweight, but he’s not yet in the same class as B.J. Penn and Georges St. Pierre. Fabricio Werdum was jobbed out of a spot in the heavyweight mini-tournament and was knocked straight off the heavyweight-...
