Instead pull in GSP or BJ Penn for title fights. I know BJ is scheduled to fight 3 weeks later, so BJ vs Diego as main event and Tito vs Forrest as co-main event. That would give them 6 weeks to line up a main event for UFC 107. By then Nog would be ready, and so would Cain. Machida and Shogun would be off suspensions, and hell.... even that rumored Chuck vs Kimbo fight could be lined up by then. There would be many options for them by December.

Lesnar and Carwin have both worked hard to merit this bout, and its gratifying to me to see so many guys giving both of these fighters the respect they deserve. Too many idiots out there still hating on Lesnar for coming from entertainment wrestling, and too many inexperienced fans questioning Carwin's having earned this title shot. Lesnar is the undisputed UFC heavyweight champion, and Carwin is among the strongest of the up and coming heavyweights. When they do fight, it should be an excellent contest, and this is one fan who will be highly anticipating this clash of the titans.

I know it is quite a risk to fight with the title shot in hand already, but he strikes me as a person that doesnt look at things that way. IMO carwin would see it as an oppurtunity to have another payday and an oppurtunity to fight for the fans, as he strikes me as a guy who actualy does relish the fan support. Where this hits a snag is I dont think anyone is going to agree to fight him on 4 weeks notice. I hope Carwin still fights.

Both are looking very good and on the rise. Nog definitely deserves the next title shot - the guy's a legend - but that probably won't happen soon, especially with Lesnar post-poning. Nog should fight Mir in the meantime and try to avenge that loss. I'm glad the heavyweight division is rockin again. Dos Santos vs. Velasquez will be awesome – has to happen soon.

So yeh.. maybe let Nog have a break. And stick Dos Santos vs Valesquez into the picture for the next title shot after Nog has had his chance. Or alternatively, have Nog vs Valesquez. I dont know, but Lesnar not fighting has messed things up slightly lol.

He lives in Alexandria which is 3 hours from where Im at and we have swine flu just coming into North Dakota from Minnesota. So hopefully he gets well soon cuz people have been dying from that up here. well i heard that Brock has swine flu which is known as H1N1, but im not sure if that’s true.

If Carwin loses the replacement match in this position, it would be a catastrophe. We'd be looking at him landing in the same ditch on the side of the road that Kampmann did ever losing to Daley. It's a shame Cain's win against Rothwell wasn't two UFCs ago, because he could step up and it would make for an awesome #1 contender battle royal. They need an entirely new fight all together.

One would think same goes for nog aswell as a victory over Randy shouldn't automatically put someone in the no.2 contender spot. Why not put them in together and fight it out? dpk, cain vs nog is a good fight and judging by the press conference dana wants at least another fight out of cain before he gets his shot.

The guy is a long way from ready for the top guys, even though I was impressed with his performance on Saturday. I suggested Nog because I think UFC will try and bolster this card in some way shape or form. I would agree that Carwin will probably not take that fight unless UFC made it very worth his while $$$. I would be willing to bet Nog is in the gym getting his brother, and Dos Santos ready for their upcoming fights, so he might be willing to take a fight on short notice, maybe against Velasquez? I'm just throwing some ideas out there, the next couple of days will be pretty interesting to see if UFC does anything else with this card. Did you really just say Barry is ready?
