Fights Targeted for UFC 130

A couple fights are being targeted for UFC 130. It's not official but here are some of the fights that are targeted to be on the May 28th card.




Rampage Jackson vs Thiago Silva

The fight will most likely be that the winner will be catapulted into the light heavyweight contention. Thiago just came off a one year layoff to rehabilitate his injuries. Coming off UFC 125, Thiago dominated and smashed his opponent Brandon Vera.

Rampage also won his last fight against Lyoto Machida. Therefore the winner will be taking a huge step up in the light heavyweight ladder.

Frank Mir vs Roy Nelson

This match looks to be a very exciting match up in my opinion especially, both being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts.

Frank Mir's job will also be on the chopping block, after Dana White ripped his performance against Mirko Cro Cop.

I'm guessing the whole contract issue with Roy Nelson is resolved. He just came off a gutsy performance against Junior Dos Santos. He took a massive beating and showed a ton of heart.

Also, there is a rumor that Frankie Edgar and Grey Maynard will have their rematch on this card. Its only a rumor, besides Frankie needs to be medically cleared due to the fracture in his nose.

The Ultimate Fighter Season 13 Coaches

Although there is no coaches set for the next installment of the Ultimate Fighter, there has been various options of who will coach this season. Dana White has thrown around the idea of a Brock Lesnar and Frank Mir. This would set up a rubber match between the two to finish the trilogy. Personally, I would probably like to watch the animosity towards each other. Trash talking would be the amusement factor. Everyone knows they hate each other, why not have great footage. But who knows. Other speculations would be a Chael Sonnen and Wanderlei Silva season. This would be an interesting match up but who knows if Chael Sonnen will be the same person, will he be humbled after his incident or will he be the trash talker he is. Having Wanderlei in the season means that there will be subtitles for sure. Who knows though, we'll just have to see what the UFC has in store. Personally, ill go with the Lesnar vs Mir just so these gigantic dudes will have some anger towards each other, which will lead to a great fight in the cage. What do you guys think?
