LAS VEGAS -- FanHouse was on hand when Dana White and Cain Velasquez fielded questions from the fans at Friday's UFC 106 question-and-answer session.
With heavyweight kingpin Brock Lesnar on the shelf for the forseeable future, the UFC is likely moving towards an interim heavyweight title future, but who exactly that future involves is anyone's guess.
FanHouse spoke to several sources in the last 48 hours, and it seems that the organization is no closer to having any type of clarity in the title picture as they continue to deal with illnesses, injuries and other issues that have suddenly crept into scheduling.
According to two sources close to the situation, the UFC's preference is an interim title bout between Shane Carwin and Cain Velasquez to be held at UFC 110 on Feb. 21 in Sydney, Australia. But the UFC will have to wade through several difficulties in putting together such a matchup, which seems increasingly less likely to happen.
The UFC announced Tuesday Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Cain Velasquez and Rashad Evans vs. Thiago Silva as the two co-headlining bouts for UFC 108 on Jan. 2 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
UFC light heavyweight champion Lyoto Machida walked away with $200,000 and challenger Mauricio "Shogun" Rua with $155,000 for main eventing this past Saturday's UFC 104, according to salaries disclosed to FanHouse Tuesday by the California athletic commission.
LOS ANGELES -- The UFC 104 post-fight press conference was buzzing after the controversial main event between Lyoto Machida and Shogun Rua.
LOS ANGELES -- Whether or not you believe the Cain Velasquez-Ben Rothwell UFC 104 fight was finished early on Saturday night, it would be difficult to deny the fact that Velasquez dominated "Big Ben" for the entire fight. The now 7-0 Velasquez continues to improve each and every time he fights, and when FanHouse spoke to him at the post-fight press conference he said he was ready to face the winner of the Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin heavyweight title fight at UFC 106 next month.
