UFC 84 Update

UFC 84: Ill Will, coming up on May 24th, will see three more light-heavyweight bouts on the fight card, namely:

  • undefeated Thiago Silva vs. UFC newcomer Antonio Mendes in a totally Brazilian bout
  • Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura (both coming off brutal defeats in their respective UFC debut bouts by the same fighter, Brazil's Lyoto Machida)
  • Wilson Gouveia going for his 5th win in a row vs. Goran Reljic in his UFC debut

Of course, the biggest excitement still promises to be the headlining battle between current champ B.J. Penn and former champ Sean Sherk.

Also eagerly anticipated, though, is Tito Ortiz's fight against the undefeated Lyoto Machida, as it marks the close of  the Huntington Beach Bad Boy's contract and, quite possibly, his final UFC bout.

And FYI: the rumor that NFL Raven Ray Lewis will be joining the UFC is (so far) just that - a rumor, with all "reliable" sources reporting that no such move is planned.
