From DREAM, to WEC, to UFC, this one's got it all.


Hendo vs. Lil Nog 1

From mmajunkie.com:
Ultimate Fighting Championship executives today officially announced its Nov. 14 UFC 105 event, which takes place at the MEN Arena in Manchester, England.

Tickets for the event, which airs via tape delay in North America on Spike TV (and live in the U.K. on ESPN), go on sale this week.

Currently, officially announced fights for the event include Michael Bisping vs. Denis Kang and Dan Hardy vs. Dong Hyun Kim.

And from The Sun:
ANTONIO ROGERIO NOGUEIRA is in line to make his Octagon debut against Dan Henderson at UFC 105, SunSport understands.
According to sources close to the fighter, 'Little Nog' -- the twin brother of UFC heavyweight Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira -- is set to sign a four-fight deal with Dana White's MMA promotion.

And he will be offered a light-heavyweight fight against ex-Pride superstar Dan Henderson in a bout which would top the bill in Manchester.

However, should Nogueira or Henderson turn the fight down, we understand welterweight legend Matt Hughes is being considered as an alternative big name to appear at the MEN Arena on November 14.

Dan Henderson did a seminar and an appearance at a club this past weekend in Hagerstown, Md. From sherdog.com message board member Flokk:
-The DJ played Bisping's entrance song from 100 about 10 minutes before Dan got there.
-Dan didn't get an entrance song, he just pulled up in a white limo and strolled in.
-Dan was wearing jeans, a t-shirt, and flip-flops.
-He seemed pretty uncomfortable with the people mobbing him at first but by the time we got up for a second round of pictures he was very relaxed. My friend asked him how he felt about the Bisping KO and he said, "You know how you felt watching it? Well imagine that times a billion." I just told him he was the man and he laughed. On the way out he was sipping a soda next to the exit and I said thanks for the pictures Dan, and he laughed and gave me a thumbs up.
-Don't laugh at me, haha. On a 7 month layoff so running 20 pounds heavier than normal. And I'm 6'3, 260 so the size difference between me and Hendo was crazy (he's definitely not 6'1 like Fightfinder says, *maybe* 5'10), made it very hard to get a good picture.
-Dan's head looks like a concrete slab! And his jaw really is THAT f------ big.
-He was in the area for a seminar of some kind and the bar paid him a (rumored) 7 grand for the 2 hour meet and greet.

DW's news conference - no Fedor vs. Brock yet

|

News from Dana White's news conference today, as reported by several Web sites, including sherdog.com, mmajunkie.com and bloodyelbow.com:

No deal yet that would make Fedor vs. Lesnar a reality. The UFC agreed to allow Fedor to compete in combat sambo, but would not agree to co-promote with M-1 Global, Fedor's management company.

Headlining UFC 103 will now be Vitor Belfort vs. Rich Franklin, not Dan Hnderson vs. Franklin, as had previously been annoucned. Kinds funny, as Belfort didn't want to fight Gegard Mousasi at 205, but is willing to fight Franklin at that weight.

As I had reported earlier, Tito Ortiz is back in the UFC, and will most likely face Mark Coleman at a future event.

Receiving UFC contracts are Paul Buentello, Paul Daley, Ben Rothwell, Chase Gormley, Dan Lauzon and Rafaello Oliveira

Getting WEC contracts are Mark Hominick, L.C. Davis and Javier Vazquez
