Zeppelin: Supposedly Gardner said that he wasn’t interested in doing more MMA, but my guess would be that we simply didn’t see him since his fight against Yoshida due to the hefty pricetag that comes with him. It was rumored that he got something between 600k and 1 mio $ for Shockwave 2004, which is really a shitload of cash…

Fedor vs Rulon Gardner? Bring it on, I’d love to see that match. Rulon really took the fight to Yoshida, and it always made me wonder why he didn’t keep fighting in MMA. He showed a lot of talent.

This is somewhat of an aside, but can we please stop saying Randy retired. He hasn’t even been gone a year. A lot of guys take 11 months off between fights for various reasons. Whether you say “I’m retiring” or not I think there needs to be a certain amount of time say at least 18 months or 2 years before you can be “retired”. Randy just took a break. Bas Rutten however came back from retirement this summer.

If Randy loses to Tim, I think you’ll see Randy/Tito II and Randy/Ken those are two wins for Randy. If QJ is the champ at that point you’ll get Randy/QJ that will be his 4 fights.

If he beats Tim you’ll get Randy/Cro Cop. If that doesn’t end his career but assuming he loses I think you still get Randy/Tito II and Randy/Ken.

I hope we don’t have to see Randy vs Tito 2. The first fight was monumental due to Randy surprising most people and taking the title, but it was a definite snoozefest with no rewatch value.

Tavares fights at 155. His first opponent may be Naoyuki Kotani, though that’s far from official, and hopefully not true, since Kotani is garbage.

What weight does he compete at? He looks smaller in the picture on Sherdog.

The UFC should really sign Joachim Hansen. He has an exciting style, speaks English, and despite his loss to Aoki, it still Top 10 in the world. Plus, he has a win over Takanori Gomi. you combine him with Sherk, Penn, Stevenson, Uno, Franca, Fisher, & Griffin, and this division has gotten loaded really quickly. Wait until TUF5 comes on. It will only stack the division even more.

Sherdog’s Brazilian Notebook feature also confirms that Thiago Tavares has been signed by the UFC, which isn’t too shabby. Pretty good prospect.

Ha, Mrs. Randy obviously has good taste.
