Rounding up the UFC News of the Day

1. Wondering who Dan Henderson will fight next? Well, remember short, powerful Brazilian who just submitted Ivan Salalverry (who officially retired by the way)? Probably not. But I do, and he's a tough, tough dude who has amazing BJJ. Well, he's next for Dan.

2. Rich Franklin moving up to Light-Heavy? Yep. Fighting Matt "The Hammer" Hamill? That's the word on the street.

3. The WEC may drop their LHW and MW divisions. Who cares? We all do...that means some of the best fighters in the world, including Paulo Filho, one of the top ranked middleweights, would automatically be ushered into the UFC since Zuffa LLC owns the WEC which they bought some time ago. The most famous fighter in the WEC is the Featherweight champ, Urijah Faber. This is good for the UFC.

That's it for now. There's plenty of other news tidbits regarding Strikeforce, etc. but since I know most of you aren't as interested in other orgs, I'll let you dig that stuff up on your own if you so desire.
