latest rumour for UFC 127 Michael Bisping vs Jorges Rivera, apparently just awaiting Bispings acceptance.
Im suprised they want to bring bisping out again after his reception at 110, although i guess it did make for good atmosphere.
Kinda hoping this isn't added to the card, would like to see some diff fighters to last time around, Its already reported Lytle will fight again, would be good if they could bring out a better variety of matches.

I don't mind the sound of Bisping v Riviera. I think it would be a good fight. Both like to stand and trade shots. Don't mind Lytle v Conduit either.

I am hoping for a solid card. Would love a big heavyweight fight as the main event like Lesnar v Nelson/Mir. Wishful thinking though.

Noke and/or George would have to be on the card but both are fighthing this month.

UFC 128 is rumoured to have Shogun v Rashad for title which sucks. How awesome would that be in Sydney.

Another rumour i have read today for the Aussie card is Tito Ortiz vs Lil Nog.
Ortiz is never gonna get cut, anyone know his loss streak now?
Still... would be an entertaining match up.

how awesome was it to see Freddy Roach on TUF.

GSP's coaches are fricken awesome.

Kos would be sh*tting himself if he saw Roach walking out of the gym after on of GSP's sessions.

Anyone a member of the UFC fight club? If you are, can you tell me a little about it and your experiences with it. Looking to invest in it especially if UFC is coming to Australia.

f**k yeah George.

In the current 10 point must system, I had Rampage 29-28 although in another system which judges the fight as a whole Machida wins.

Looks like B.J. Penn will be making an extended stay in the welterweight division.

Penn will meet American Kickboxing Academy standout Jon Fitch at UFC 127 on Feb. 27 at the Acer Arena in Sydney, Australia. UFC President Dana White revealed the high-profile matchup after Penn dismantled hall of famer Matt Hughes in 21 seconds at UFC 123 on Saturday in Auburn Hills, Mich.

In addition to a pair of wins over Hughes, Penn holds other notable victories against former Pride Fighting Championships lightweight titleholder Takanori Gomi, one-time UFC lightweight kings Jens Pulver and Sean Sherk, two-time UFC lightweight title contender Kenny Florian and “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 1 winner Diego Sanchez. A Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt with polished boxing skills, he has secured 13 of his 16 career victories by knockout, technical knockout or submission. Penn turns 32 on Dec. 13.

Fitch has posted 21 wins in his last 22 fights. The 32-year-old Fort Wayne, Ind., native wrestled collegiately at Purdue University and figures to test Penn’s conditioning and acclaimed takedown defense. Widely regarded as the world’s No. 2 welterweight behind UFC champion Georges St. Pierre, Fitch has not been finished in nearly eight years. He appeared at UFC 117 in August, when he dominated American Top Team’s Thiago Alves en route to a unanimous decision at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, Calif. Fitch’s last eight fights have reached the judges.

Meanwhile, surging Australian contender George Sotiropoulos will fight before a partisan home crowd at UFC 127, as he locks horns with Dennis Siver.

Sotiropoulos, a perfect 7-0 inside the Octagon, submitted Joe Lauzon with a second-round kimura in a featured lightweight matchup at UFC 123. A semi-finalist on Season 6 of “The Ultimate Fighter,” the 33-year-old will carry an eight-fight winning streak into the matchup, as he presses towards a potential crack at the lightweight championship. Sotiropoulos, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt, has delivered more than half (eight) of his 14 career victories by submission.

Siver has rattled off six wins in seven fights. The 31-year-old Russian-born German submitted “The Ultimate Fighter” Season 9 finalist Andre Winner with a rear-naked choke at UFC 122 on Nov. 13.

I thought the 1st Round was close and I had Machida, to be fair Rampage deserves the victory for entrance music alone, I was more excited when I heard the Pride FC theme music then I was at any point during the fight.

Any idea how many tickets you can buy as a fight club member? I have a group of about 6 or 7 that want get gold class seats, last time even on the pre sale i was only able to secure bronze.
Its prob not worth signing up for fight club if i can only secure myself a good ticket.
