- Strikeforce confirms Emelianenko vs. Henderson to be contested at heavyweight. Originally announced by Scott Coker that the fight would be at a catch weight of 220 pounds, a Strikeforce official confirmed that the fill will be at heavyweight, not a catch weight of 220 pounds. http://mmajunkie.com/news/23794/strik...on-to-be-contested-at-heavyweight.mma

- After almost 2 years of being put on the back burner of the UFC due to injuries and an abnormality found in a brain scan, Tim Credeur makes his return to MMA this Saturday versus Ed Herman at UFC's "The Ultimate Fighter 13 Finale". In Fall 2011, an MMA documentary titled "Fightville" will be released, which partially focuses on Tim Credeur and Dustin Poirier before they made it to the big show. (video trailer can be found below)
- According to a report from ESPN, Fedor Emelianenko is set to haul in $1.5 million for his fight against Dan Henderson, who will take home a cool $800,000. The bout is set to air live on Showtime at the upcoming July 30 Strikeforce event emanating from the Sears Centre in Hoffman Estates, Illinois.
- Strikeforce finally will air preliminary events! Well, just for their Fedor vs. Henderson card so far. HDNet will be airing 5 Strikeforce preliminary fights live, followed by the Fedor vs. Henderson main card on Showtime. This is a big step for Strikeforce that shouldn't have had to take so long, but better late than never. http://www.strikeforce.com/news/2011/...son-superfight-in-chicago-on-july-30/
Quinton "Rampage" Jackson: Must have have left hand X-rayed, and if injured, suspended until Nov. 25, though he can be cleared by an orthopedic doctor; regardless, suspended with no contact during training until June 28 Frank Mir: Suspended until Nov. 25 due to possible rib injuries, though he can be cleared by a doctor; regardless, suspended until June 28 with no contact until June 19 Stefan Struve: Suspended until July 28 with no contact until July 13 for precautionary reasons Brian Stann: Must have have right thumb X-rayed, and if injured, suspended until Nov. 25, though he can be cleared by an orthopedic doctor; regardless, suspended until June 28 with no contact until June 19 Jorge Santiago: Suspended until Nov. 25 due to a possible left-orbital injury, though he can be cleared early by an ENT doctor or ophthalmologist Rafaello Oliveira: Suspended until July 28 with no contact until July 13 for precautionary reasons Michael McDonald: Suspended until Nov. 25 due to a possible shoulder injury, though he can be cleared early by orthopedic doctor; regardless, suspended until July 28 with no contact until July 13 for precautionary reasons
Now, the usual disclaimer: The figures do not include deductions for items such as insurance, licenses and taxes. Additionally, the figures do not include money paid by sponsors, which can oftentimes be a substantial portion of a fighter's income. They also do not include any other "locker room" or special bonuses the UFC oftentimes pays. They also do not include portions of the pay-per-view revenue that some top-level fighters receive.
For example, as previously reported, UFC officials handed out additional $70,000 UFC 130 bonuses to Browne ("KO of the Night"), Tibau ("Submission of the Night"), and Stann and Santiago ("Fight of the Night").
In other words, the above figures are simply base salaries reported to the commission and do not reflect entire compensation packages for the event.
- John Ott was owned for 3 rounds by Jake Rosholt at Titan Fighting Championship 18 this past weekend, luckily for Ott, Rosholt accidentally hit Ott with an illegal knee when he was almost all the way off the mat, which then the match was declared a DQ win for Ott after Jake had won every round decisively. (picture below)
- Kurt Pellegrino (7-4 UFC) decides to go on a hiatus from fighting for awhile, and the UFC will let him come back when he's ready. Pellegrino said if he hasn't returned by January 1st, 2012, he will retire. The reason? A very good one, he wants to put all of his time on his family and running his own training center which has around 300 students.

def. Ken Stone: $5000
Reuben Duran: $12,000 ($6,000 win bonus)

- Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs. Victor Ortiz on September 17th, 2011. The fight will be for Ortiz's WBC world championship. Ortiz, who is 10 years younger than his opponent, it will be Mayweather's first challenger in 16 months."
(As you remember, Victor Ortiz is that kid who recently beat Andre Berto and won the WBC belt. Mayweather is obviously picking his opponents wisely, Ortiz is a good young fighter and has a belt and is a credible fighter, but Mayweather will destroy him. This fight will show Mayweather is still skilled and can beat any top fighter without having to fight Pacquiao.)

- The Sunday Morning Rumor Mill by MiddleEasy.com - Partial rumors below, followed by a link to view the full rumor list for this week. + Show Spoiler +
An MMA organization called 'One Fighting Championship' is starting in Asia, and it appears to have some massive money backing them. The organization has one goal: to dominate MMA in Asia and they will have their first event on September 3rd in the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Expect a lot of your favorite Japanese fighters to make the transition to this new organization. Remember where you heard it first.
- After Kenny Florian wore his Boston Bruins jersey at the UFC 131 weigh-ins, he received verbal death threats from avid Vancouver Canuck fans later that evening.
- Unfortunately, MMA super agent, Ken Pavia (Pavia Holdings, LLC) is on the verge of going bankrupt.
- It appears that since UFC is leaving Spike TV pending the completion of the G4 deal, M-1 Global has also thrown their hats in the Spike TV 'lottery.'
- Another heavy rumor is that an undisclosed deal was made with Showtime to relieve Nick Diaz of his Strikeforce contract. It seemed as if Showtime put up a good fight to prevent Diaz from vacating his belt and signing with the UFC, but within the undisclosed deal (and I really wish I knew what it was), it benefited both parties.
- Spike TV executives are calling The Ultimate Fighter Season 14 their 'final season.
- A source out of Paul Daley's camp informed me that Cyborg Santos and Paul Daley will battle for possession of the now vacant Strikeforce welterweight belt.
- It's rumored that Gina Carano pulled out of her return fight in Strkeforce due to contractual obligations from Relativity Media and Overture Films.
- Jason "Mayhem" Miller TUF 14 video interview by HeavyMMA.com. (video below) + Show Spoiler +

- After a 1-3 run at featherweight in the WEC and UFC, Canadian Yves Jabouin has decided to drop to bantamweight and will take on Ian Loveland at UFC 134 in Brazil on August 27th. Loveland himself recently made the same drop, losing his BW debut to highly-ranked Joseph Benavidez by decision at UFC 128.
