The UFC officially announced several additional fights for UFC 89 this October in Birmingham, England.

The most notable new matchup is between Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou and Luiz Cane.

Luiz Cane is coming off an impressive knockout victory over Jason Lambert at UFC 85 last month. In his UFC debut at UFC 78, Cane was in control of his fight against James Irvin when he was disqualified for an illegal knee strike.

Sokoudjou is coming off a victory over Kazuhiro Nakamura at UFC 84 after a very disappointing UFC debut against Lyoto Machida at UFC 79.

Also announced were fights between Shane Carwin and Neil Wain as well as Akihiro Gono vs Dan Hardy.

UFC 89 will be headlined by a middleweight fight between Michael Bisping and Chris Leben.

yo doc…what’s next for hollywood?

Comment by Dr J about 4 months, 1 week ago

no word yet on an upcoming bout for Dan Henderson

Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

FUNNY… Hollywood has had two losses in the UFC back to back, he has NEVER come close to winning and has had two TITLE SHOTS.. Wand on the other hand has had 2 fights, no title shots and a ton of criticism and write offs because of his poor 06/07 - however I haven’t heard ANYONE writing off Hollywood as he has lost to both Anderson Silva and Rampage Jackson.. in an undeserved title bout.. I think they need to serve Dan on a silver platter to Wand in October.. 3 in a row losses, can anyone say finished… NOPE because Dan is an American Wrestler and Wand is a Brazi from Chuteboxe..

I dont know why the UFC isnt trying to show people who Wandy is, he should be the dam posterboy for the company. Same thing with Rampage, the guys got so much charisma and it doesnt really come across in the UFC. Maybe from TUF but before that you couldnt really tell.

You know Wandy is a loyal fighter and he intends to put on a good show everytime. He definatly wants to win, but hes not gonna jog around trying to outscore you with jabs. Hes bringing the FIGHT cuz we paid to see a fight.

looks like a pretty weak card.. definately a weak main event, maybe not even a good UFN headliner. It could be a good fight, but theres so many other guys out there who we only get to see once in a blue moon. I could see this as a bout on a main card definately but not the main event.

Big RUMOR coming out that Thiago Silva has a BIG fight coming in OCTOBER against a fellow Brazilian and former Chuteboxe trainee… funny, Wanderlei Silva has a big fight coming in OCTOBER against a fellow Brazilian and former Chuteboxe trainee as well goes the rumor…

Wonder who they will each fight?? :)

Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

aw man, if thats true, thats messed up man. Its not as if they ran out of opponents for either one of those guys. Ya it will be a good fight considering they both know pretty much exactly what the other guy does. But i think its too soon to force them to fight each other, if they already fought everyone else, id say yes, but not at this point.

Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

Id give it to Wand in a heartbeat, I think the KID will choke in the stare down from the LEGEND of his former training academy..

Kansas who would win in a fight? Wandy or Jesus? lol

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

Jesus you jackasss..

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

that wasn’t in vain… I mean YOU BV are the Jackasss.. ;)

 
Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

LOL nah man, i say Wandy by crucifix hehe

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

hmmm. maybe but don’t forget, you cannot keep the Messiah down.. after 3 seconds.. minutes, heck days he will rise back up and conquer all enemies.. not to mention Wand is on His side, Catholic, but a believer… so no fight is gonna happen there.. they are from the same place..

 
Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

wait, Jesus isnt even allowed to fight.. he would probably just say, you win once the bell sounds. It may be a moral victory for the J man hehe.

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

What do you mean he cannot fight? … ever read about Him ‘clearing the temple’ … He is the LION and the Lamb .. lol He doesn’t turn the other cheek … we are to turn it in recognition of Him but He is God.. all powerful and the Creator.. and He can do as He wishes..

Don’t you hate that..

 
Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

LOL are you serious man? i mean im sure you know more about it than i do, but it just sounds wrong. I cant see him whoopin someones *** then preaching about mercy an stuff. Kind of hippocritic dont you think? lol

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

BV, people that don’t have an inside knowledge of Christianity derive their information from a combo of secular religion classes, comedy shows like South Park, and word of mouth, oohhhh and don’t forget the over zealous yet sorrowfully ignorant young Christians who don’t know much but love God a lot so they shoot out a bunch of assumption theology and end up confusing people more than helping…

First off, I took your comments about my Lord and God as a joke as I don’t think your the type to come along and verbally insult and belittle someone like Jesus of Nazareth.. so there was some over exaggerated banter there.. your my friend so we can do that and still be cool…

Second and lastly, if we are being serious:

Mark 11:15
They came to Yerushalayim, and Yeshua entered into the temple, and began to throw out those who sold and those who bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the money-changers, and the seats of those who sold the doves.

Jesus had and has no tolerance for religion that glorifies man and takes a gratuitous profit, nor can He forgive when a man blasphemes the Holy Spirit.. so there.. He is not some ***** skinning hippy runnin around with rainbows and children as is depicted by most, but He was a man of peace and love.. war is to be declared not with swords but with Truth…

 
Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 4 months, 1 week ago

deep, very deep. i remember my Dad explaining that to me when i was a kid when i asked why stores where not open on Sunday. my Dads not religious or anything he just reads A LOT and the Holy Bible is a book so hes read it at least once.

 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

Wow RJ.. thanks for the respect man..

 
Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

Ya Kansas you know its all jokes Wandy vs Jesus? lol how could it be taken seriously.. I personally find southpark hilarious, but i dont derive spiritual truth from it lol. Though i DO agree with alot of the messages they put out.

The scientology one, the one with that mind reader from crossing over lol. World of Warcraft, Guitar Hero, probably most of all the political stance, where they have the option to vote for a **** sandwich or a giant douche lol.

I dont recall them ever making fun of Jesus, though Jesus is in some of the episodes. Like the boxing match between Jesus and the devil lol. Also all the ones with Saddam are jokes! dam i love that show..

Comment by R.J. St.Croix about 4 months, 1 week ago

got nothing but respect for ya brother, not totally sure what i said to show it but thats cool. im assuming its because my comments about your beliefs, if that is the case then yeah man i give you all the props in the world for being strong in your beliefs and anyone who preaches love and good will to mankind is worthy of my respect easy.

 
Comment by MMKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

I am excited about Affliction.. but not as much as if Wand were on the card.. lol had to just say that to be an annoying nut hugger.. lol

 
 
 
 
Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

As for Rampage vs Wand or an immediate re-match… well he just got incarcerated so .. lol we will see what happens ..

Comment by bvrasp about 4 months, 1 week ago

worst thing was that he tried to flee from the cops dam, he doesnt know how rich people handle their problems yet. He should have let his lawyer do the “leg work” to get him off this one.

Comment by MMAKansas about 4 months, 1 week ago

hehehe..

I think he’s still ticked about getting robbed, I can see him trying to get an “early release” from his UFC contract and going to make more money in Affliction… not to mention its not as dense a division there and he could probably win a title and make 400k a fight..

just my opinion…
