Awesome!Mir v Barnett is an epic fight for us hardcore fans! I
have to admit I'm not as excited for the Hendo/Pettis match as i was to see Pettis v Aldo but it'll do. Hate it for T.J. but his shot will come eventually.
If Henderson and Pettis rematch 3 months or 6 months, hell even a year after that incrdible first fight they had sure it's a BIG fight, but now it's just another fight that Hendo may or may not win imo. He has more to lose at this point and that usually is a recipe for either a spectacular;lar win or loss!
Funny thing about Corso mentioning that short guy from NY is that Serra is one of Weidmans coaches! And alot of ppl seem to think it'll be a simnilar scenario to that of GSP/Serra where GSP lost came back and dominated. I am not of that opinion but we shall see cause it's NOW OFFICIAL!!!!!:
Weidman vs. Silva rematch heads UFC 168 on Dec. 28, Rousey vs. Tate II co-main
"The UFC boss today revealed on ESPN's SportsCenter that both Weidman and Silva have agreed to meet on Dec. 28 in the headlining bout of a previously announced UFC 168 event, which takes place at Las Vegas' MGM Grand Garden Arena. The night's main card, including the Weidman vs. Silva rematch, airs on pay-per-view. White further confirmed that bout agreements have already been signed."

Weidman v. Silva 2, Dec. 28, UFC 168!
That gives Silva almost 5 months to train and re-evaluate the fight! I hope he goes into it like he did against Leben! He's 38 (right?), plenty of time to regain the championship! I'd give him 8 years, @45, that's when the GOAT should retire, after a loss we all, as fans, feel is definitive (like the Gonzaga v. CroCop fight)
