MASSIVE rumor doing the rounds that James Te Huna will be fighting Forrest Griffin next...
that fight makes no sense at all IMO... no way is Te Huna even near that class... but it would be a great opportunity for Te Huna if it was true.
also... TUF15 tryouts were on today... a group of kiwi fighters made the trip over.... word is.. Rod McSwain was with them... trying out at LW apparently.
Sounds like they are trying to beef up the card for Sydney in March next year by bringing in another big name. Much like they did with BJ Penn.
It will sell a few tickets I think, not many people dont love Forrest and I think the UFC are stuggling to find any real big fights especially after they are doing such a big card in Japan a week or so before Sydney.
Although I have also heard whispers that Rashad could be fighting Hendo in Sydney...which would be quite a good fight unless Rashad wants to dance around and not engage.
Te Huna's performance in Sydney earlier this year was less than impressive but his last fight was a lot better...looked better prepared and his wrestling has improved...still dont think he is in the same class as a almost past his best Forrest Griffin.
