als je beetje mma talkshows zou volgen dan zou je weten dat gilbert miller een aantal keer heeft uitgedaagt en dat miller's reactie was ik wil best voor de SF titel tegen melendez vechten. als miller deze match wint waar veel mensen van uitgaan(zie bv. de odds) dan is het niet meer dan logische match-up... want 6oct. is pas edgar vs maynard en dan is guida next in line.. dus dat gevecht zal wel weer 3 maanden later zijn op z'n vroegst en dan zou miller dus weer zo'n 4 a 5 maanden moeten wachten, dus uiteindelijk bij elkaar een jaar voor hij de titel mag vechten omdat die won van ben henderson...(en melendez dus nog veel langer....) dat gaat dana nooit goedvinden, gilbert heeft miller al vaak opelijk uitgedaagt, miller is er ook vaak zat op ingegaan van kom maar op. conclusie als miller deze match wint komt er hoe dan ook als volgende uit de bus voor jim, gilbert melendez

MARK MY WORDS!!

MARK MY WORDS!!

Dat is net hetzelfde als chael sonnen vs nogueira en bijna heel black house. Ik denk dat Miller de title shot krijgt en tegen de winnaar van Edgar/Maynard gaat krijgen. Ik zie Melendez pas later in het spel komen en pas binnen een jaar of misschien langer want tegen dan is Strikeforce volgens mij al leeggeplukt, en Miller kan nog altijd actief blijven , misschien een fight met de winnaar van Guillard en Lauzon want beide kunne ook voor de titel mee, de lightweight divisie is veel te druk in de UFC op dit moment, daarom zie ik ze Melendez er nu echt nog niet bijvoegen.

guillard vs lauzon is echt geen contenders match...de enige die dat tot vandaag geloofde was alleen melvin guilard

No Surprise: UFC on Versus 5 Prelims to Stream on Facebook

In what should come as no surprise in 2011, the UFC on Sunday will again offer preliminary card fights on Facebook.

Though the promotion has not yet made the Facebook fights official for UFC on Versus 5 on its website, sources close to the UFC confirmed to MMA Fighting plans for the live stream. UFC on Versus 5 takes place at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis. It will be the UFC's debut in the Badger State.

It will be the 14th straight event the UFC has shown previously unaired fights on the social networking site, dating back to January. And for the eighth straight time, each fight on the card will make its way to a broadcast of some type, as all eight prelim fights on Sunday will stream on Facebook.

Leading the prelims will be a middleweight bout between C.B. Dollaway and Jared Hamman that was ticketed for the main card until a recent demotion to the undercard. The previous four UFC cards on Versus have featured just four fights on the main card instead of the typical five. In addition, the prelims get a bantamweight bout between former champion Eddie Wineland and former title challenger Joseph Benavidez.

Other prelims include Ed Herman vs. Kyle Noke at middleweight; a light heavyweight bout between Karlos Vemola and promotional newcomer Ronny Markes; a featherweight bout between Alex Caceres and short-notice newcomer Jim Hettes; lightweight fights between Cole Miller-T.J. O'Brien and Jacob Volkmann-Danny Castillo; and a bantamweight fight between Edwin Figueroa and Jason Reinhardt.

To gain access to the fights, which will begin at 5:45 p.m. Eastern, viewers must "like" the UFC on Facebook. As of Tuesday afternoon, the UFC had more than 6.1 million fans at the site.

The UFC began streaming preliminary fights in January with its Fight for the Troops 2 show at Fort Hood, Texas. Since then, the promotion has included free Facebook fights for each event, regardless of the main card's platform – be it on pay-per-view, Spike or Versus. For the historic UFC 129 card in Toronto in April, five prelims were aired on Facebook, followed by a pair on Spike leading into the pay-per-view – meaning for the first time, fans were guaranteed the opportunity to see each fight on the card. That has continued for each of the seven events since then, including Sunday's card in Milwaukee.

UFC on Versus 5 features a main event welterweight bout between former title challenger Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle. The co-main event is a lightweight bout between contenders Jim Miller, who owns a seven-fight winning streak, and former WEC 155-pound champion Ben Henderson.

The main card will air live on the Versus cable station at 9 p.m. Eastern on Sunday. Once again, the fight card will be preceded by a live pre-fight show on Versus featuring Craig Hummer, UFC light heavyweight Stephan Bonnar and Ariel Helwani. In addition, the trio will also host a post-fight show on Versus.

UFC on Versus 5 is the third of four shows on the 2011 calendar between the promotion and cable channel. All four will be UFC debuts in a new market. In March, UFC on Versus 3 was in Louisville, Ky.; in June, UFC on Versus 4 was in Pittsburgh, Pa.; and in October, UFC on Versus 6 will be in Washington, D.C

Dan Hardy Wants to Scrap; Chris Lytle Says He'll Oblige at UFC on Versus 5

Dan Hardy will admit it – he pretty well blew it his last time out, dropping his third straight with a unanimous decision loss to Anthony Johnson.

The Brit said he wanted to put on an exciting fight, but instead didn't do his part to deliver, especially for his fans in the U.K. "I had a lot of people, especially over in the U.K. waiting up till early hours of the morning to watch a good fight – and I ended up having a nap for 15 minutes," Hardy said last week on a media call for UFC on Versus 5, which he headlines Sunday in Milwaukee against Chris Lytle.

Believing he has fallen victim in the past to lay-and-pray wrestlers – including Johnson in March – Hardy is hopeful his fight with Lytle won't be a carbon copy of the Johnson fight.

"Regardless of where the fight goes, I just don't want a boring fight," Hardy (23-9, 1 NC, 4-3 UFC) said. "There are a lot of wrestlers out there that use their wrestling really well in MMA – they use it aggressively, they win fights with it. Jim (Miller) is a great example. I just don't want a boring fight, and I don't think Chris has got that in him."

And for his part, Lytle (30-18-5, 9-10 UFC) said Hardy has nothing to worry about.

"They picked Dan and I to be the main event, and let me tell you something," Lytle said. "They didn't pick me and Dan to be there to put on a boring fight. So if you think I'm going to try to sit there and get him on the ground and hold him down for 15 minutes and then dry hump him, that's not going to happen."

Hardy may find himself in must-win territory against Lytle, who also is coming off a loss. After starting his UFC career with four straight wins, Hardy was thrust into a welterweight title fight with Georges St-Pierre. His loss last year started a three-fight skid that included Johnson in March and a knockout loss to Carlos Condit last October.

But Hardy says each of those three losses is explainable. A fourth straight, to Lytle on Sunday, might have him really searching for answers.

"Breaking each one of the three fights I lost down, every one of them was forgivable in a way," Hardy said. "Georges is the champ. He's one of the best in the world, and that was a fight where I just kind of went and gave it my best. ... The Condit fight was just my arrogance got the better of me. I just got caught there. That was my own fault. And the Anthony Johnson one, he's a big strong wrestler and it was just one of those days that sometimes you just don't win."

Hardy said he adjusted his training camp this time around, starting in Las Vegas, then moving to his Team Rough House in England, then returning to Vegas, where he trained with Roy Nelson, Evan Dunham and Gilbert Yvel, among others.

The UFC seldom keeps fighters on its roster with three straight losses, so Hardy is already in short company. A fourth straight setback, regardless of his popularity with the crucial U.K. fanbase, could be devastating.

"I just feel ready," Hardy said. "I feel that this is a turning point in my career. I've got to get things back on track, and I'm in the right place to do it."

Hardy and Lytle are the main event of UFC on Versus 5, which takes place Sunday at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis. It will be the UFC's debut in Wisconsin. The four-fight main card, which also includes an important lightweight co-main event between Jim Miller and Ben Henderson, airs live on Versus at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Eddie Wineland Looking for Tough Road Back to UFC Title Contention

After Eddie Wineland had his four-fight winning streak snapped against Urijah Faber in March, he took an interesting next step.

Rather than taking the positives from a fight he kept much closer than most people predicted, regrouping and taking on someone down the bantamweight ladder to start a new streak, Wineland asked for an opponent maybe tougher than his last – Joseph Benavidez.

Before thinking Wineland might not have his head on straight – after all, he asked for the teammate and primary training partner of his last opponent, ensuring Benavidez would have plenty of knowledge about him built up from Faber's training camp – one must listen to his logic. Having once held the bantamweight belt for the WEC, now the UFC strap, getting it back is the one thing he wants most.

"I could have easily fought one of the top five, six, seven guys, and that would've got me back on track," Wineland said. "But a win over Joseph, I think, puts me right back into title contention. It's a gamble, but I don't need to be fighting guys who are up and coming and looking to get their names out there."

Wineland (18-7-1, 0-1 UFC) had back-to-back Knockout of the Night bonuses to close out his WEC career before getting his matchup with Faber. And though he won the first round on the judges' scorecards at UFC 128 – stopping multiple Faber takedown attempts and landing a slam of his own to the surprise of nearly everyone but Wineland – he couldn't keep Faber at bay long enough in the second and third. Faber went on to get a title shot – a shot that UFC president Dana White said afterward he'd have to have given to Wineland had he won.

With Dominick Cruz locked down on the No. 1 spot in the bantamweight class, Wineland sees plenty of lists with Benavidez (14-2, 1-0 UFC) as the No. 2 guy. Benavidez's only two career losses? To Cruz, of course. But Wineland wants to dispel the myth that asking for Benavidez was a call-out of any kind. He wanted another major test, more than anything.

"I always said that Benavidez poses a lot of problems for me since he's a good wrestler and he's really fast, very scrambly," Wineland said. "He's ranked top two or three in most all the rankings. In the beginning, he felt like I called him out – when it's not coming from the horse's mouth he's going to hear something different. Not that I called him out, but I asked for the fight because that's my fastest path back to the belt."

Wineland was a heavy underdog against Faber, and he'll enter the fight with Benavidez at UFC on Versus 5 on Sunday in Milwaukee, just a couple hours' drive from his home in Northwest Indiana, as a 2-to-1 'dog.

Wineland will have a reach and height advantage of several inches against Benavidez, but he remembers how his opponent caught the bigger Miguel Torres not long back – the same Torres that Wineland once trained with. Wineland said he looked at Benavidez's losses to Cruz more than anything else, and he wonders if he might have some of the same Benavidez Kryptonite that Cruz seems to possess. If he does, he believes an upset is in the offing on Sunday.

"I think Dominick and I have similar movements in the sense we move side to side and not forward and backward," Wineland said. "I think ultimately, my natural movement is what's going to give me the win. I think they think they're going to come in and fight the same Eddie Wineland that Urijah fought, and that's not going to happen. Every fight, I change. I get stronger. I get faster."

And that size difference of 5-foot-7 vs. 5-4? If it gives Wineland that little extra mental boost for himself, he'll take it.

"When we're in the gym and I'm sparring with shorter guys, my confidence seems to grow," Wineland said. "Not so much the fact that I'm looking down on them ... but I am looking down on them. I think it gives me that confidence factor and helps me to push forward and realize that, hey, this guy's a kid – he looks like a kid. So I can't let this kid come in here and beat me. I just have to think child abuse, I guess."

But that's not a call out.

Wineland and Benavidez fight as part of the preliminary card of UFC on Versus 5 on Sunday at the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, Wis. Their fight will air as part of a live stream on the UFC's Facebook page, with the first fight starting at 5:45 p.m. Eastern. The main card, featuring a welterweight bout between Dan Hardy and Chris Lytle, airs live on Versus starting at 9 p.m. Eastern.

Regrouped After February Upset Loss, Chris Lytle Not Ruling Out UFC Title Run

MILWAUKEE – There are workaholics, and then there is Chris Lytle.

When he's not training for a UFC fight – and going into his 20th with the promotion, he's among the all-time leaders – he's working as an Indianapolis firefighter. And he recently said when he stops scrapping in the cage, he wouldn't mind taking a stab at Indiana state politics – he even put an exploratory committee together to see how he'd fare in an election. Then there's his family, with four kids.

It would occur to most people to wonder, geez – does the guy ever take a break? Maybe not retire just yet, though Lytle will turn 37 next week. But just stop going for a few days?

"After this last fight, I had a lot of injuries and that was one of the things I was contemplating," Lytle told MMA Fighting on Friday after a short workout in Milwaukee, where he'll fight Dan Hardy in the main event of UFC on Versus 5 on Sunday. "I don't want to keep fighting if I can't perform like I've been doing. So I took some time off, hung out with the family a little bit and let my body heal up. I actually got to relax a little bit – it was pretty cool. I had about a month where I didn't do too much. That's a rarity."

(Of course, that month where he "didn't do too much" still involved working at the firehouse.) And then that switch in his head clicked back over, the one that doesn't really allow him to take breaks. The one that doesn't really allow him to relax.

"I don't like to take much time off – after a couple days, it's like something's missing," Lytle (30-18-5, 9-10 UFC) said. "I start to get in a bad mood, and my wife's like, 'You need to go to the gym.' I love to take breaks, but it just never happens. I feel like I have a lot of responsibilities, a lot of goals – I think I'm just too goal-oriented. Once I get something on my mind, it's hard for me to get it out."

Right now, what's on Lytle's mind is getting back in the win column. In February, his name was being tossed around as a possible title challenger for Georges St-Pierre's welterweight belt. His four-fight winning streak, while not overwhelming, was the kind of run that if it hit five, then six, a title shot would have been realistic.

But then Brian Ebersole came along. He pulled one of the year's biggest upsets in front of his home Australian crowd, taking the fight on short notice and sending Lytle back into the middle of the pack at 170 pounds. Lytle said everything about that fight at UFC 127 felt wrong.

"That was a lose-lose situation for me," Lytle said. "I knew I wasn't physically where I should be, and I knew nobody knew who this guy was. Unless I went out there and knocked him out in 30 seconds, everyone would say, 'Chris didn't look good tonight.' And I knew I wasn't going to do that – no one's ever knocked him out, he's a good wrestler, he hasn't lost a fight in five years. I knew he was going to be tough, and there was very little to gain. I knew I had a lot working against me."

Against Hardy (23-9, 1 NC, 4-3 UFC), Lytle is back in the type of fight he loves the most – the potential for a good old fashioned scrap. That's what Hardy has been practically begging for since he was "punked" by Anthony Johnson in March. Hardy claims Johnson told him personally he wanted to have a knock-down, drag-out slugfest of a fight, then wrestled his way to a decision victory.

But Lytle again on Friday said Hardy has very little to worry about in that department. After all, you don't win eight UFC fight night bonuses by fighting safe and playing for points with the judges.

"I do take a lot of pride that the UFC has put us in the main event," Lytle said. "I know they do that for a reason – they want fireworks. They want a fight people want to see. These are the kinds of fights I want. There's no thought in my head of pulling an Anthony Johnson. I got to get that W, but I'd rather lose the fight than win it like that."

Though Lytle admits to giving some thought to hanging up the gloves after his loss to Ebersole, he said it will be his body that will dictate how long he stays in the game. And even though he had to go back to Square One in the title picture after the loss, he wouldn't put a title run down the line beyond the realm of possibility for him.

"I feel that if you go out there and just grind it out to try and get a title, you're going to have to win eight or nine fights in a row to get a title fight," Lytle said. "If I go out there and just put on great fights – and I'm trying to win all of them – and win in spectacular fashion, it's not going to take eight fights. It's going to take a few. I feel like I'm still on the radar, and if I get a couple wins ..."

Lytle has time for very little in his schedule, but he'd make time for one last run at a UFC belt.

Lytle and Hardy fight in the main event of UFC on Versus 5, which airs Sunday at 9 p.m. Easter on the Versus cable channel.

UFC on Versus 5 Weigh-in Results: Dan Hardy Needs Three Tries to Make Limit

MILWAUKEE – Dan Hardy got perhaps the loudest ovation at Saturday's UFC weigh-ins – even though he wore Chicago Bears orange in green-and-gold Packers country. (OK, maybe it was meant to be Harley-Davidson orange.)

But Hardy, sporting bright orange for his signature mohawk, missed weight for his welterweight bout against Midwesterner Chris Lytle, weighing in at 171.5 pounds even after dropping four pairs of trunks that he wore for show. Lytle weighed in at 170.5 for the main event of Sunday's UFC on Versus 5 card.

After the official weigh-in event concluded, Hardy was able to make not just 171 pounds, but 170, the UFC confirmed. Hardy took to his Twitter feed, saying, "Not sure what happend there, I was on weight when I left the hotel!"

All 22 of the other fighters on the card successfully hit their marks at the weigh-ins, which took place outside the Harley-Davidson Museum in Milwaukee.

Hardy is looking to snap a three-fight losing streak that started with a welterweight title fight loss to Georges St-Pierre last year. Lytle is coming off his first loss in five fights, a decision setback to Brian Ebersole in February. Both men have said they want to put a Fight of the Night-type performance on, promising to stand in the pocket and trade.

Jim Miller and Ben Henderson fight in the co-main event, an important bout that might determine the next top contender in the lightweight division. Miller comes in on a seven-fight winning streak, tops in the UFC outside champions St-Pierre and Anderson Silva. A win is likely to assure him a shot at the Frankie Edgar-Gray Maynard rematch winner in October. Henderson, the former lightweight champ in the WEC, won his UFC debut in April against Mark Bocek. And while an upset of Miller wouldn't likely get him a title shot, it would throw a wrench into the division. Though for the second straight fight, Henderson had to strip down to make his mark, he eventually weighed in at 156. Miller came in at 155.5.

Also on the main card, Donald Cerrone and Charles Oliveira had one of the afternoon's more intense staredowns after leaving the scale, though they did shake hands. Cerrone said Friday he finds his opponent to be cocky thanks to a smirk he gave him earlier in the week. Cerrone has won four straight in the lightweight division – two to close out his WEC career and his first two as part of the UFC. The former WEC star won five Fight of the Night bonuses with that promotion, and a third straight UFC win would likely elevate his name into future title talk. Cerrone was 156; Oliveira weighed 155.

The complete weigh-in results are below:

Main Card
Dan Hardy (170*) vs. Chris Lytle (170.5)
Jim Miller (155.5) vs. Ben Henderson (156)
Charles Oliveira (155) vs. Donald Cerrone (156)
Amir Sadollah (170) vs. Duane Ludwig (170.5)
Preliminary Card
C.B. Dollaway (186) vs. Jared Hamman (185)
Joseph Benavidez (135.5) vs. Eddie Wineland (136)
Ed Herman (186) vs. Kyle Noke (185)
Karlos Vemola (205.5) vs. Ronny Markes (205)
Alex Caceres (146) vs. Jim Hettes (145.5)
Cole Miller (155.5) vs. T.J. O'Brien (155.5)
Jacob Volkmann (156) vs. Danny Castillo (156)
Edwin Figueroa (136) vs. Jason Reinhardt (135)

* Hardy missed weight on his first try. After removing his trunks, he was still 171.5. On his third try, after the official weigh-in event, he made 170.
