Dana White announced the winner of BJ Penn vs. Jon Fitch will get the next Welterweight title-shot… which goes to show you how far ahead GSP is from the rest of the fighters in his division. The next contender is either the guy who is currently 1-1 as a Welterweight or the guy he’s already beaten before and is on a 5 fight Unanimous Decision win-streak over middle of the pack guys, which include 2 fighters dropped by the UFC (Akihiro Gono and Ben Saunders)… of course, I am assuming that St. Pierre will be beating Jake Shields. Silly me to jump to conclusions.

From UFC Guest Octagon Girl to UFC Clothing Designer?…. It makes sense. Former Playboy Playmate, Holly Madison launched her new UFC clothing line yesterday and it is perfect timing, for as you can see from the picture above, she desperately needed a pair of pants. Madison’s line is sold at a retail outlet inside Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. We’re not exactly sure what the clothing line is called but we are very sure it calls for a celebration…
And we are right! XS Nightclub inside Encore will play host to Madison’s UFC Clothing Line Launch Party tonight with several UFC stars in attendance including: Cain Velasquez, Dominic Cruz, Stephan Bonnar, Forrest Griffin, Brittney Palmer, and Kenda Perez.
So if you like to see fighters, but don’t necessarily want to get punched in the face to see stars, then head out to XS tonight at 10pm (PST) in Las Vegas for the star-studded red carpet.
Wanderlei Silva hasn’t fought for almost a year when he won a Unanimous Decision over Michael Bisping last February at UFC 110, but that hasn’t kept the outspoken Brazilian from consistently making MMA headlines.

Wanderlei Brown is Living in America
Wanderlei Silva hasn’t fought for almost a year when he won a Unanimous Decision over Michael Bisping last February at UFC 110, but that hasn’t kept the outspoken Brazilian from consistently making MMA headlines. Silva had been expected to fight Yoshihiro “Sexyama” Akiyama last June at UFC 116 but was forced to pull out after sustaining 3 broken ribs during training. Chris Leben was a late replacement for Silva and won the fight with an impressive Triangle Choke in the 3rd round. Shortly after, Leben called out Wanderlei Silva as the next fight he wanted. At the time Silva thought a match-up with Leben would be a great fight for him and told MMAFighting “He won’t pass the first two rounds with me”. However, the anticipated fight between Leben and Silva was never meant to be as Dana White decided to give Leben to Brian Stann per Stann’s request.
Meanwhile, a smack-talk happy Chael Sonnen would go on to get his title-shot against UFC Middleweight Champion, Anderson Silva, which he ultimately lost. Shortly after that fight, Wanderlei Silva expressed his disdain for Sonnen’s smack-talk and scolded him in the back of a van, as seen: here. During that conversation, Sonnen said his next fight would be a rematch with Anderson Silva, but as we all know Sonnen shamed his way out of lost that immediate title-shot after he tested positive for PEDs following the UFC 117 fight. Sonnen then turned his attention to Wanderlei as he began to stew over that van scolding and entered into a Twitter war of words with Wandy that many thought was leading to a meeting in the Octagon. But then, Sonnen went and got himself all mixed up in some money laundering scheme, thus sidelining his UFC career for awhile.
Oh no! Now who would Wandy fight? Enter Brian Stann, the former Marine and virtual newcomer who abolished Chris Leben with knees and strikes in the first round. Stann, who has proved to be a refreshingly humble fighter is now one of the top Middleweights to watch out for and when asked who he’d like to face next, he quietly and respectfully asked for Wanderlei Silva. Dana White seemed all for this bout, but Silva wasn’t quite up for marketing or accepting this one. According to MMA Junkie, White said:
“We were actually trying to hook [Silva] up with Brian Stann. He doesn’t want to fight Brian Stann. He’s like, ‘[Expletive] that. Everybody is going to hate me if I fight Brian Stann. Everybody loves Brian Stann.’ But that’s the fight we’re trying to make right now.”
And “make” they did as the two Middleweights were signed on to meet at UFC 130 this May. But… then a highly regarded fellow Brazilian nemesis, Vitor Belfort lost a title-shot with Anderson Silva at UFC 126 due to a high kick so majestic, Steven Seagal lays claim to its very invention.And Wanderlei Silvacame forth with the request that he and Belfort settle a long overdue score. Silva challenged Belfort via Brazilian outlet, Tatame:
“And now, where are you running to? I’d give him the number one (on the line to fight me) easily, I’m challenging him … I want him”.
And now friends… he’s got him! Wanderlei Silva is out of UFC 130 and Wandy vs. Vitor Belfort II is set for UFC [yet to be numbered] Rio. Let’s hope after all his hard hyping work, this fight actually happens and Wanderlei doesn’t end up on the losing end of this rematch as he did their first time in the cage, as seen below:
*Editor’s note: Don’t knock that sweet little Wanderlei/James Brown photoshop pic we did; though we actually could have used this old pic of Wandy in his younger days:

Well, finally we’ve got some real choices in the Strikeforce Ring Girl Search on Facebook! And even though three of those girls are named Brittany, we were sort of able to tell the difference between each girl are giving our full support to one of them. Her name is Brittany Hall and she prides herself as “Your Southern Belle”.
We like Brittany’s video because she barely speaks and she demonstrates her jiu-jitsu skills which makes us think of her having sex…not that we need a reason, but thank you, Brittany. You can view Brittany’s video and vote for her: here. The winner will be a guest Rockstar Ring Girl at Strikeforce: Feijao vs. Hendo in Columbus, Ohio on March 5th.
