Hughes vs. Penn III in the works for UFC 123?

CagePotato has learned through a source close to the situation that discussions are underway between Matt Hughes, BJ Penn and the UFC to set up a rubbermatch between the pair at UFC 123 on November 20.

The event, which is scheduled for The Palace of Auburn Hills in the Detroit suburb of Auburn Hills, Michigan will feature a main card match-up between former UFC light heavyweight champions Lyoto Machida and Quinton Jackson.

If Overeem wins the GP in K-1 and defends his title again versus Werdum early next year he will go to the UFC too. I haven't seen an official word if he has a champion's clause in his contract I've heard people say he does and doesn't.

I am pretty sure he doesn't, but I am not 100 percent sure.

As for Barnett...I used to be a big fan, but all of his mess regarding PEDs has really dropped him a notch or two in my book. And he has not exactly faced top competition in a while.

With as much as Strikeforce fights in California and the fact that Barnett has chosen to no-show the hearings regarding the appeal of his last failed test (and subsequent failing of a repeat test), I wonder how he is going to get licensed. And I wonder how other state licensing bodies view that fiasco, or if they even care. For someone that was so adamant about saying that he did not use them, the fact that he does not really apparently care about his appeal is telling to me. Maybe he just enjoys wasting everyone's time.

Maybe I am just skeptical, but would anyone else not be surprised at all if the first Strikeforce event that Barnett is a part of takes place in Texas? Given their PED testing policy that is apparently lacking at best.

Edit: Hmmm....maybe that was the Cowboys Stadium rumor that Coker may have been thinking about a few months back. Fedor-Barnett? I just don't see the general public going for it on a huge scale. Sure, the hardcore fans want to see it (although I am not as excited about it as I was before), but as great as he is, Fedor is just not very marketable to the general public and is coming off of a loss. And then you have Barnett who is not really that well known to casual fans in the U.S., has not really beated a top name since 2006 and is coming off of a failed drug test that killed an organization.

What if you had Fedor-Barnett and Overeem-Werdum in Cowboys Stadium? That is a hell of a 1-2, but I still doubt that they would sell a significant amount of tickets.

That was my first thought as well.I believe he has served his suspension though. By no-showing the appeal he accepted the sentence of a one year suspension. That time is up. He will just have to go through them again for his next one. I'm sure he'd be really happy to plan his schedule around non-CA Strikeforce shows though. He hates that commission.

There's a Chael Sonnen Q&A on UFC.com that is just gold. Here are a couple quotes:

"If Brock Lesnar was here right now I'd take my boot off and throw it at him, and he better polish it up before he brings it back to me. That guy comes around here talkin' about he's the baddest guy in the UFC!? Hey Brock, quit eating so many raw eggs and doing pushups, cuz it's effecting your realm of reality. Are you kiddin' me? I'd slap you in your face and you wouldn't do anything about it, Brock. (impersonating Brock) 'but I'm Brock Lesnar! I've got this five dollar haircut and a knife tattooed on my chest!' Well I'll shove it up your face if you get in Chael Sonnen's way."

"If GSP said he wanted to fight me, the first thing I would say is the same thing I say every time I hear GSP talk: 'Gal-dang-it that guy sounds like a French-Canadian Minnie Mouse.' Then I'd say: Hey GSP let me ask you a serious question, do you have a designated driver, do you have somebody to get you home safely? 'Cuz clearly you're intoxicated. I'd say, GSP do you have a hankering for pain? GSP, did you lose a bet with God? GSP, bring your three thousand dollar suit, bring your three dollar date, and get the three cent tan beat off your socialist back."

Escudero weighed in at 159 for tomorrows bout with Oliveira :wtf:

i dont know if i'm more surprised by that or the fact that Gleison Tibau weighed in at 154 :ols:

Wow that really is crazy. They must've swapped diets since their last fights lol.

That is comedic gold. Chael Sonnen has gone from being one of my most hated fighters to one of my favorites in a few short months. Why did he never put on a show like this when he was in the WEC?

I was just coming here to post this. That is a funny dude with a death wish right there.

Picks for tonight?

UFC Fight Night 22: Markwar vs. Harris, picks:

Ross Pearson vs. Cole Miller: Pearson is one tough mother****er, I think he wins this one handily. Pearson, TKO round 2.

Jim Miller vs. Gleison Tibau: Hard to tell where these guys are at right now, pretty inconsistent fighters. Miller didn't look good his last outing, but he got a controversial win and learned a lesson at the same time. I expect him to be especially tuned up for this fight. Miller, Unanimous Decision.

Efrain Escudero vs. Charles Oliviera: Here's the obvious upset pick. Escudero could be injured, on the Frank Mur diet, or is having a Paulo Filho moment...but you usually want to be in top form when fighting a young, hungry, undefeated, habitual fight-finisher. Oliviera, RNC, round 1.

Nate Marquardt vs. Rousimar Palhares: Paul is probably the scariest looking jiu jitsu fighter I've ever seen. It looks like he eats raw bear meat and tugs on branches all day until they snap in half. You know you can see him doing that. He still seems a little green as far as his skin tone. Might want to just come out and say his real name is Bruce Banner. Yet we'll have to deal with calling him Paul Harris for now. I digress, Harris seems to still be a little green when it comes to being well rounded and adapted to the octagon. Nate gets a little carried away from time to time and gets himself in trouble, but for the most part he's a very intelligent and quick fighter. Marquardt by Unanimous Decision.

I'd love to see the trash talking that would precede a Sonnen-Toney fight.....as long as there was an interpreter for Toney.
