Some interesting news from the UFC today. Looks like Chael Sonnen will be moving up to LHW and his first fight will be against Forrest Griffin on December 29th. In typical Sonnen fashion, he made the move up in weight by talking sh1t about the champion. I think Sonnen will be able to handle Griffin, but Jones is a whole different story. He might be the only one at the top of the 205 class who hasn't already been beaten by Jones. Sonnen vs Evans might be a good fight at 205.

UFC on Fox 5 also scheduled for December has some good fights lined up. Main event will be Benson Henderson vs Nate Diaz for the LW title. Next up is Shogun vs Gustaffson, which is a fight I'm really excited to see. There's a good chance the winner of this fight gets the next title shot after Machida. Time to see if Gustaffson can step up to that elite level or if Shogun can get back there. The 3rd fight announced for this show is Penn vs MacDonald. This fight had to be delayed because MacDonald was injured during practice. Should be a good show.
