Vitor Belfort and Takanori Gomi in the UFC?

Apparently the UFC is looking at bringing in some top talent to spice up several of the divisions. On the Ultimate Fighter 9 Finale Dana White mentioned bringing in Vitor Belfort in the middleweight division to challenge Anderson Silva. In my opinion that comment is kinda a slap in the face to guys like Yushin Okami and Demian Maia who are a combined 12-1 in the UFC and both are waiting patiently for a title shot. Then Takanori Gomi confirmed that he was looking to fight here in the United States and had been in negotiations with both the UFC and Affliction.

Kimbo Slice on the Ultimate Fighter 10

As you all are probably well aware by now Kimbo Slice is gonna on the upcoming season 10 of the Ultimate Fighter. It's probably more than likely that if he is able to win at least one fight he will get a UFC contract. I wouldn't go as far as to say that Kimbo Slice will win because there are several other notable fighters on the upcoming season. Roy Nelson and Wes Simms are just a few of the ones that fans may know from previous fights in the UFC, IFL and EliteXC.

It wouldn't shock me at all to see some fights down the road with Kimbo Slice going up against some other sluggers at heavyweight in the UFC. I just wonder who they would match up against him in the future?

WEC Star Urijah Faber Moving to 155?

Coming off of his second loss to WEC Featherweight Champion Mike Thomas Brown there has been speculation as to whether or not Urijah Faber will move up to 155. You can argue that Mike Thomas Brown, Urijah Faber and Miguel Torres are the top 3 fighters in the WEC. Wouldn't it make sense for all three to be champions at 135, 145 and 155? We will see but either way the WEC has to start finding some opponents for Mike Thomas Brown.
