UFC 131 is set to take place in Vancouver, Canada. It will follow not only the The Ultimate Fighter 13 finale, but also UFC 130 and the great card that was, UFC 129.
UFC 131 produces some big names, and MMA reigns supreme with numerous month-long events by Strikeforce and the UFC.
The card will end with a No. 1 contender bout for the heavyweight title, featuring Junior dos Santos, and Brock Lesnar.
Who will walk away as winners at UFC 131?

Charles “Mask” Lewis, the founder of the TapouT brand, was killed in a car accident on March 11, 2009 when the car he was driving crashed into a light pole.
Another driver was found guilty of one count of vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated in the two-car accident. The driver, who had two previous DUI convictions on his record, was subsequently sentenced to nine years in prison.
Lewis’ sister, Carla, had her brother cremated following the accident.
TMZ.com is reporting that a lawsuit has been filed in San Bernardino County, CA regarding the cremated remains of Lewis.
Carla alleges that Punkass and Skyscrape, Lewis’ partners in TapouT, approached her about borrowing the ashes for use in a memorial service for Mask.
TMZ’s report says that Carla agreed but goes on to say that she asked that her brother’s ashes be returned to her at the conclusion of the memorial service.
When she arrived at the service, TMZ reports that she found a vendor’s table set up with “a large shoebox-size box containing several miniature vials that were on display.” Carla alleges that the vendor told her that “each of the vials contained a small amount of the cremated remains of Mask, and were reserved for, and to be given to, ‘special people’ whose names were on a printed list.”
Carla alleges that in addition to distributing the cremated ashes of her brother, Punkass and Skyscrape have yet to return the urn and remaining ashes.
Her lawsuit, according to TMZ, seeks unspecified damages for “overwhelming and severe emotional distress.”

Bleacher Report’s Bryan Levick:
Today the realization that UFC 130 has lost its extremely exciting and much anticipated main event has probably began to sunk in. No one would have thought that a third fight between UFC Lightweight Champion Frankie Edgar and UFC No. 1 Lightweight Contender Gray Maynard would spark so much interest.
Yet that is exactly what happened in the early hours of January 2, not too long after Edgar and Maynard put on a thrilling back and forth affair that encompassed the entire 25 minutes allotted to them for their main event matchup. Once the judges’ scorecards were read and a draw was determined, UFC President Dana White made the decision within an hour or two to have Maynard and Edgar square off one more time.
With Edgar-Maynard leading the way, the main card was shaping up pretty nicely. Rampage Jackson was set to face Thiago Silva, but Silva was suspended and Matt Hamill stepped up to face the former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion. Two heavyweights with backgrounds in both Las Vegas and grappling will meet up as Roy Nelson fights former UFC heavyweight Champion Frank Mir.
And so on and so forth, the wheels keep spinning. With just under three weeks and having both Maynard & Edgar injured, the UFC was forced to scrap the fight altogether and bump the Hamill-Rampage fight to the main-event slot.
So that leaves me with the task of trying to drum up some serious interest in the remaining bouts on the main pay-per-view portion of the card. Let’s take a look at some highlight videos and try and get the blood flowing in anticipation of these fights.

UFC 126: Who could forget this great night of MMA?
At UFC 126, Anderson Silva was set to defend his middleweight title against Vitor Belfort. Belfort was seen as a man who could give Silva a run for his money and end his impressive win streak and give Silva his first loss inside the Octagon.
Towards the middle of the first round we go. Both Silva and Belfort standing, waiting for the other to make a move. Silva keeping his hands nice and low, like in all of his fights.
Then, in the blink of an eye, Silva drops Belfort with a front kick to the jaw. Shock and awe filled the stadium as Silva’s impressive front kick settled in everyone’s head.
Silva’s front kick was supposedly taught to him by none other then movie star, Steven Seagal.
Silva now is set to defend his title at UFC 134 in Rio for the UFC’s first trip to Brazil since the 90s.
Belfort on the other hand is set to fight Yoshihiro Akiyama at UFC 133 in Philadelphia.

Bleacher Report’s John Heinis:
That headline is not a typo: ESPN.com’s MMA page is reporting that UFC middleweight contender Chael Sonnen is suspended from fighting in not one, but two states.
Sonnen has had an ongoing issue with the Nevada State Athletic Commission ever since having his fighter’s license suspended for failing a drug test back in September of 2010.
That suspension, reduced from one year to six months, was over in March, but Sonnen has yet to receive a new license in Nevada.
CSAC executive officer George Dodd said the suspension was issued after their legal panel felt that Sonnen may “have perjured himself during a testimony at an appeal hearing in December related to his ban for elevated levels of testosterone.”
This seriously affects Sonnen’s ability to get back in the Octagon, since this suspension “asks North American regulatory bodies to contact California before issuing the UFC middleweight contender a license to compete, corner, promote or act as a manager.”
Sonnen and his lawyers asked for a CSAC special hearing on May 18 in Los Angeles to have the suspension revoked, and the CSAC obliged.

Bleacher Report’s Mike Hodges:
The recovery process for any athlete can be grueling and hard to swallow, for the most part.
Since January, UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez has been nursing a shoulder injury he suffered during his title bout against Brock Lesnar at UFC 122, ultimately forcing him out of action.
Velasquez, who participated in the “Super 7” presentation last week, spoke about the condition of his injury.
“I had a torn labrum and they had to reattach it,” Velasquez told UFC commentator, Joe Rogan.
“It takes so long because of the shoulder, they said not a lot of blood gets to the shoulder, so it takes a while for it to heal.”
Velasquez, who carries an undefeated record of 9-0-0, commented on his rehabilitation and said his main intention is to regain the strength and motion in his shoulder. Velasquez added that doctors have acknowledged his impressive recovery thus far and he expects to resume training under his doctors’ orders.
