    Brock Lesnar has apparently called out Roy Nelson, as he believes "Big Country" will be a good challenge for his return bout.

    I like the fight, but look for the UFC to give the former champ a trilogy bout vs. Frank Mir, or pending his medical suspension, a rematch with Shane Carwin in mid-2011.

    For all the criticism that Jake Shields received for his performance at UFC 121 against Martin Kampmann, check out what "The Hitman" had to say about his own game plan.

    Shields will likely face Georges St-Pierre next, so here's GSP's manager, Shari Spencer offering a different take on the champion's future.

    With Lyoto Machida returning to action at UFC 123 vs. Quinton (Rampage) Jackson, one of his brothers is also making his return to MMA. After a four-and-half-year hiatus, Shinzo Machida will return in December.

    One and done -- Vinicius Quieroz tests postive for Stanozolol, and is released from UFC.

    Bad news for UFC and MMA proponents in New York State. The sport's No. 1 pain in the State, Assemblyman Bob Reilly, was re-elected Tuesday.

    In a move that will likely irritate those fans who do not respect the intricacies of MMA, while likely prolonging his own career in the sport, Chan (The Korean Zombie) Sung Jung will now fight smarter, and not harder.

    Strikeforce News It continues to look as if Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker has next to no interest in working with Bellator. The Lightweight Championship Super fight between Bellator's Eddie Alvarez and Strikeforce's Gilbert Melendez is not priority No. 1; looks as if booking a rematch between Melendez and Dream champ Shinya Aoki, in Japan, is what's top on Coker's list.

    Coker also recently mentioned that the Dan Henderson vs. Renato (Babalu) Sobral winner will get the Strikeforce title shot against Rafael Feijao. He also called Dana White the "Don King of MMA" and while he's more of the Bob Arum, this could get ugly.

    And for all the mainstream fans -- Herschel Walker’s next Strikeforce opponent will be revealed Friday.

    Misc. MMA

    Former UFC veteran Ronys Torres wins in Amazonas and ends his poor run.

    His story is an inspirational one, as he's fighting to save his mother's eyesight.

    Even his opponent was gracious enough to donate a portion of his purse to help Torres out.
