Feijao would be a great addition to the LHW division. That division definitely needs some new fighters.

Where the hell is Souza? Possibly the best performance that night.

I'm really curious about OSP. I'd love to see him in the UFC. He wasn't on the UFC list or the left off list.

I saw Heavy.com reporting that Luke Rockhold wants to fight Costa Philippou. Anybody else feel like as the last champ of your former organization you should at least half-heartedly call out the champ of your new organization? I don't think Rockhold has much chance against Silva, and maybe Rockhold agrees with me, but it would be nice to see some confidence.

Yea he should call out Silva. Maybe that would be the fight they make if Bisping loses to Belfort. I think Costa would beat Rockhold honestly. Rockholds chin is very exposed when he throws those fancy kicks.

Silva vs Rockhold would be a heavy, heavy KO imho.

Him, Jacaré Souza and Rockhold already had their fighter pages at the UFC website when I checked it earlier today. Others from the list probably have theirs too.

Wonder how Rockhold will fit into the title picture. I'm kind of hoping to see a Jacare/Rockhold II in the UFC.

UFC 's fighter roster is increasing. This will speed up MMA's process of being the number 1 sport in the world.

Rockhold is getting ahead of himself. He needs to calm down.

I think Rockhold would soundly defeat Costa.

Rockhold-Phillipou would most definitely result in Rockhold losing his first UFC fight.
