Looks like Quinton and Dana are having some fun together at the UFC 87 Press Conference.

Thanks to Tracy Lee at Combat Lifestyle. She’s everywhere there’s MMA, so check her out!

It looks like my two favorite UFC heavyweights will be appearing on the UFC 90 card, in what seems to be the brass’ attempt to show us a decent heavyweight contender.

Those two fighters: Fabricio Werdum and Cain Velasquez.

But they are not fighting each other. Velasquez will be fighting my fifth favorite (behind Mir and Nogueira, and trust me, that division is not that hard to organize), Antoni Hardonk.

Werdum will be fighting the new recruit and giant talent Junior Dos Santos. However, I don’t think that Dos Santos is quite at the level of Werdum on the ground, and so I’m looking at Werdum to take this one and establish himself a solid top contender.

Anyway, it’s about damn time. The only real issue is that on the four cards between now and then we will only be seeing three other bouts: Brock Lesnar vs. Heath Herring, Kongo vs. Evenson and Shane Carwin vs. Neil Wain.
