Another busy week wrapped up in the MMA world with the UFC announcing plans for upcoming cards and the new year.
Middleweight kingpin Anderson Silva’s next opponent will be the man who nearly dethroned him at UFC 117, Chael Sonnen.
Although Carlos Condit will no longer be fighting for the welterweight title at UFC 143, the contender will take on former title-challenger Josh Koscheck at the February event.
In 2012, the UFC’s preliminary card bouts will no longer stream on Facebook and will instead be shown on the cable network Fuel TV.
Additionally, a former Strikeforce champ is suing his former management, as well as a Bellator champ returning to action.
