A few updates...
Cain Velasquez broke his hand in that fight against Jeremiah Constant, and won't be back in action until July. I asked him who he's fighting, and he has no idea at this point.
Jesse Forbes beat another good wrestler at the recent Tuff-N-Uff event here in Vegas. Jesse Taylor was the guy, and he was actually a nationally ranked DIV 1 guy at 184 with Cal State Fullerton.
As most of you know already, Gerald Harris was all out robbed against Fabio Leopoldo in The IFL recently. I just don't see how you give points for submission attempts over slams, TDs, superior striking, etc... It just makes absolutely no freakin' sense to me at all. He'll be back though, as he has worlds of talent ... he just needs a little time to put it all together and we (wrestlers) might just have another wrestling star in MMA.
Another guy that recently racked up another win is CB Dollaway. He dominated and decisioned a very tough, and undefeated, judo player down in RITC 94. I happen to know he's being looked at by ZUFFA ... so, I wouldn't be suprised if he's picked up by them very soon.
Kellan Fluckiger and Ryan Bader will be having fights soon, I'm just not sure where, or against whom at this point.
Chris Tuchscherer could be picked up by ZUFFA as a test for one of their other "wrestlers". I understand that they want to see how one of their guys does against another wrestler at this point (yeah, it's O'Brien, and he "obviously" has to get past Tom Murphy at UFC 72 first).
Mike Massenzio is getting some notice as well. I wouldn't be suprised to see his name pop up on a very near future WEC or UFC card, as he's been very impressive as of late (plus, he was set to fight in a EC tourney where the winner was promised a shot in the UFC a few mths back, but a bad cut caused him to pull out of that and he lost that chance. Now he's gotta be real hungry for another shot at the big show and I don't think he'll have to wait too much longer either)
Chase Gormley (ex MSUN) scored a win over the hard hitting Jon Murphy in KOTC last weekend. It was said to have been a very good fight, and I am pretty sure it'll be on the KOTC ppv this weekend.
I hear Frankie Edgar will be back in action soon too, although I'm not sure who he'll be facing this time around.
I know there's some more info ... but I'm struggling to remember it at the moment..lol I'll toss it up when I remember.

What we need to worry about isn't shit talking from little keyboard warriors who couldn't hold their giant heads up without a head rest, but having to worry about weather our spots will be promised to a woman instead of ourselves. There has to be equally as many spots open for women as men in wrestling now, and I've seen many friends go to wrestle elswhere because of it, and lack of scholarships and funding. We gotta keep wrestling alive guys.

interesting point. kos said he would fight at either 185 or 170
Brock Lesnar? What an effin joke. He fought a no name. He should go back to role playing in WWE.
