    Cormier plans to move down to LHW after he fights Mir. He boldly proclaimed that he wants to kick Jones ass. :deal

    If ever a fight should be made at catchweight it's this one. With Jones wanting to go HW and DC's kidney failure in the past. A catchweight fight between these two would see them at their best I think as DC could drop a bit of fat and I'm sure Jones would be stronger with no cutting whatsoever. Wouldn't be for the strap I suppose but for me this would be the best fight out there as they have similar wrestling ability and are closer in natural weight than GSP/Silva, Silva/Jones or Jones/CV

    Werdum should get the next title shot. He has a solid chance of catching Valasquez in a submission.

    Technically HW begins at 206 lbs +
    So there would be no catch weight

    Well, technically they would be fighting in HW. But you know what I mean: an agreement that neither man will exceed 215 or 220 or something so there would be a lower upper limit and that is kind of a catchweight.

    Cormier said it in his last fight with strikeforce. 2-3 weeks ago I think? Announced Mir was next, then he'll drop down to put the beatdown on Jones.

    Cain vs Cormier is the only fight that makes sense.
