According to MMA Fightline, Randy Couture told the “Bubba the Love Sponge” radio show today that he’s trying to work out a “submission grappling match” with Kurt Angle.

In a post on his official blog, Matt Hughes gave his assessment of Anderson Silva’s victory over Dan Henderson at UFC 82 last weekend:
Anderson Silva ended up winning the title fight, I think if Henderson was in shape he could have lasted longer. I don’t know why somebody would go into a title fight not […]

Following the announcement that Shogun is injured and will miss the main event of UFC 85, we’re left with a dilemma. Who will replace him and face Chuck ‘The Iceman’ Liddell in London, England on June 7th?

At the moment, I’m thinking it could be Rashad Evans. Let’s look at why it could be Rashad.
