So it seems they worked out whatever the issues were and are looking to make a card for around June for Fedor's return against Werdum. Strikeforce should've just stayed away from them even if it costs them Fedor because that's all they're getting is one fighter, the best yea but still one guy for the heartache they're going to go through again and we all know it. Just get the Overeem/Fedor fight over with unless Overeem gets his ass KO'd by Rogers which could happen, i hope people aren't writing Rogers off.

What is up with Torres mullet?? He needs to finally cut that thing.

According to Seth himself, he said he's fighting Houston Alexander. Main Event is supposed to be Tim Sylvia vs. Mariusz Pudzianowski(the huge body builder that just made his mma debut).

Pretty good card if it's all true. Yves Edwards and Rich Clementi are also supposed to be on the card.

Korean Sengoku vet Chan Sung Jung likely heading to the WEC
by John Morgan on Mar 05, 2010 at 2:00 pm ET
Sengoku, DEEP and Pancrase vet Chan Sung Jung (10-1) is likely heading to the WEC.

MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) has learned from sources close to the promotion that "The Korean Zombie" is currently in negotiations with the WEC and is expected to sign a deal shortly.

WEC officials declined to comment on the situation when contacted by MMAjunkie.com, and the promotion has yet to make an official announcement.

Jung, just 22 years old, made his MMA debut in 2007, and he opened his career with nine-straight win. Despite a successful track record in kickboxing, Jung has also trained in Hapkido and competed in Sambo tournaments.

Jung's lone career loss came in May 2009 via unanimous decision to a recently streaking Masanori Kanehara at "Sengoku Eighth Battle." Jung bounced back with a second-round submission win over Matt Jaggers in a featherweight grand prix reserve bout at "Sengoku Ninth Battle," though the Korean wasn't called on for additional duty that evening.

Jung recently made the rounds as an Internet sensation when his spinning backfist knockout of Thai boxer Pajonsuk under the "It's Showtime" banner was widely viewed on YouTube. Despite the spectacular finish, Jung was disqualified as the turning attack is not allowed in the "It's Showtime" promotion.

Jung's recent bouts in Japan were contested at 143 pounds, and he is expected to compete as a featherweight in the WEC. An exact date for his WEC debut has yet to be determined.

Well this isn't good. This was suppose to be non title but now it was changed. So they are obviously not even remotely confident of anything being worked out with Fedor and M-1. Back to Japan for Fedor unless he drops these fucking idiots he's partnered up with or drops his share of M-1 and leaves it all together. Damn i hate them dudes.

- REPORT: WEC COULD BE IN CALGARY ON JUNE 20

"We're going to go up to Canada, and we're hoping to do that in the next few months," WEC general manager Reed Harris said recently on MMAWeekly Radio.

Well, it looks like a few months has been narrowed down to June 20, at least according to an article by TopMMANews.com. The report cites Calgary Combative Sports Commission chairperson Shirley Stunzi as confirming that WEC has “officially booked” the date in Calgary, Alberta.

World Extreme Cagefighting already has two events booked prior to June. The promotion landed in Columbus, Ohio, this week for its first event in the Buckeye State. Bantamweight champion Brian Bowles will attempt to defend his title from Dominick Cruz in the main event.

Then in April, the WEC marks another first, making its pay-per-view debut. A featherweight title bout between current champion Jose Aldo and former champion Urijah Faber heads the card at the Arco Arena in San Jose, Calif., the promotion’s most successful location.

The UFC, WEC’s sister promotion, has already paved the way for its younger sibling, returning in May for the third straight year in Montreal. The promotion also has plans to run an event in Vancouver a week prior to the WEC’s purported Calgary date, although a recent report about slow moving regulation in Vancouver may have put that event in jeopardy.

WEC officials were not available for comment at the time of publication. Follow MMAWeekly.com for more details as they become available.

Exclusive: James Toney signs multi-fight deal with UFC

Posted by Cory Brady on Wednesday, March 3, 2010 at 3:58 pm· 3 Comments

After months of speculation following James Toney making his intentions to fight in the Ultimate Fighting Championship public, one of the greatest boxers of our time is now set to embark on his career in mixed martial arts.

FiveOuncesofPain.com has been informed through sources close to the situation that James Toney has recently been signed to a multi-fight contract with the UFC.

Toney was seen during UFC 108 while attempting to track down UFC President Dana White in hopes of negotiating terms for the boxer to enter the UFC, although more recent comments from Toney made it appear as though the deal, if any, was dead in the water before today.

“Lights Out” is a former professional middleweight, super-middleweight, and cruiserweight boxing champion, while currently being listed as the active NABO and IBA heavyweight title holder.

Toney’s decorated professional boxing record currently stands at 72 victories and only 6 defeats, with 3 draws and 2 no-contests. James has stopped 44 of his 72 victims via knockout for an impressive 61% knockout ratio.

There is no news currently available as to when Toney will be making his debut for the promotion. Stay tuned to 5 Oz. as we keep you up to date on this developing story.

Wanderlei Silva vs. Yoshihiro Akiyama is going to headline a UFC Fight Night on April 17th on SpikeTV. Yes, this is going up directly against Henderson/Shields on CBS.

I only post it because Wanderlei said this recently:

"I know I'm going to fight soon," said the former Pride champion. "I'm going to have a great surprise for my fans what date I'm going to fight. I'm so close to signing my next fight, we'll talk about things a little bit more, and I think I'm going to be fighting soon."

Wow. No Fedor but I'm definitely tuning into CBS on April 17th nonetheless. Those are 3 great fights.
