That is, he asked for, and was granted, a rematch by Dana White.

Makes sense, elsewise Condit would have just sat on the shelf till late winter waiting on Gorgeous Georges.

I thought Carlos took the first match on the first watchthrough, upon the second time I had it a draw. Close fight, though strangely neither fighter seems to think so. Greg Jackson said that Carlos won all of the rounds and the Diaz Bros. seemed under the impression that they were up at least 4-1.

All just a rumor....if GSP gets his way according to people close to him...GSP has agreed to give up the belt in order to fight Diaz first.

St-Pierre, meanwhile, told UFC Tonight he would relinquish his belt to fight Diaz despite plans for a fight with Condit.

Silva vs Chael 2
Evans vs Jones

Definitely.

I'm also hoping that an Aldo vs. Edgar fight gets made.

I heard a rumor that Nick's about to receive a suspension for failing his post-fight drug test.

Probably just weed.

I think weed's a silly thing for commissions to worry about, but at the same time Nick knows the damn rules and has been caught before so there's no excuse for it.

Again, just a rumor though. No official announcements.

Yeah, I heard that too. And ALLEGEDLY one of my facebook fans says it's true. Take that for what it's worth.

It's definitely a possibility. And if it is true, luckily he lost. Having his victory turned to a No Contest would be a ****.

So, losers can demand rematches with guys that have already beat them? It's Sonnen all over again.
