Im a fan of Pat Barry, that fight with Yvel will be FON in my opinion.

A pair of heavyweight strikers collide in June at UFC 115 now that Mirko "Cro Cop" Filipovic (26-7-2 MMA, 3-3 UFC) and Pat Barry (5-1 MMA, 2-1 UFC) have agreed to a matchup.
Sources close to the event today told MMAjunkie.com (
http://www.mmajunkie.com) bout agreement should be distributed shortly and that the competitors were told it'll be part of the night's pay-per-view main card. MMAScrapsRadio.com first reported the fight earlier today.
Barry initially was expected to fight Gilbert Yvel (36-14-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) at the June 12 event.
Although not officially announced by the UFC, UFC 115 takes at GM Place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
With Barry not fighting Filipovic, his original opponent, Yvel, instead fights Ben Rothwell, as MMAjunkie.com first reported earlier today.
Barry's opponent, Filipovic, recently evened his UFC record to 3-3 with a second-round TKO of late replacement Anthony Perosh at UFC 110. (Perosh replaced Rothwell, who was forced off the card due to traveler's flu.) Although sometimes slow and sluggish in the bout, Filipovic nevertheless controlled the pace of the fight and staked claim to the win, which moves him to 4-1 (with one no-contest) over his six fights, which have come in the UFC and DREAM.

Claude Patrick signs with UFC will more than likely fight at UFC 115
Quote:
Claude Patrick (11-1) to take that next step in his career.
The Toronto, Ontario, Canada-based welterweight recently signed a four-fight deal with the UFC and is expected to make his octagon debut four provinces west in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Patrick today shared news of the signing with "The Fight Show with Mauro Ranallo," and MMAjunkie.com has since learned from sources close to the promotion that while an opponent has not yet been determined, the Canadian is expected to compete on the as-yet-unannounced UFC 115 event.
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
A welterweight matchup between Martin Kampmann and Paulo Thiago is currently in the works for UFC 115.
Says MMAjunkie
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
I was really hoping for Thiago/Serra but this isn't a bad matchup either. Hard fight to call, too. I'll probably stay away.
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
The Thiago Alves -Jon Fitch fight will now be at UFC 115 Dana White just confirmed
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
Thoughts on Griffin/Dunham?
Dunham's looked good and his win over Escudero was impressive, but I don't think he's ready for Griffin. In my mind, Griffin is kind of a dark horse in the division. He's always floating right there around the top but no one thinks about him much. When it comes to title talk, everyone's always talking about Kenny and Maynard and Edgar, but Griffin's all up in that shit, too.

Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
If the UFC were smart, they'd edit TUF to show why Ortiz is out on the last episode or so. Get more ppl to watch to find out what happened. Technically, if it happened on the show, NDA's prevent ppl from sharing why, right?
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
Ok, so who are you guys picking? Chuck or Rich?
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
Probably Rich, but I'd love to see Chuck knock him out.
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
I'll be going with Chuck.This fight will be fought completely on their feet and Chuck is still better there.As long and he stays away from getting KO'd he wins imo

You're right .Statement from Tito Ortiz:

I haven't lied to anyone. I was told not to say "Anything"! Having a chance to be sued for $5 million was not a chance I wanted to take. So watch TUF 11 and see what happens. I was just doing what I was told, for once.

Real MMA fans knew that shit weeks ago anyway. . .
Re: UFC 115 discussion/odds
Finally.
I was wondering how long they were going to keep the facade up. It's not like you can be selling tickets while still lying about the main event.

Luke is the sole source of MMA news.
He also kicked me out of the driver's seat of the GSP bandwagon. When this happened, I'm not quite sure.
