I’ve been constantly updating the rumors section here on MMAFrenzy.com but I haven’t had a chance to make note of the changes here on the front page.

  • TUF 1 runner up Stephan Bonnar (3-3 UFC) will return to action at UFC Fight Night 10 against Mike Nickels (1-0 UFC). [UFC Fight Night 10 rumors]
  • “Irish” Jake O’Brien (3-0 UFC) will face Tom Murphy (1-0 UFC) at UFC 72 in Ireland. O’Brien’s presence on the UFC 72 shouldn’t surprise anyone as his name has been tossed around for quite some time due to his nickname. [UFC 72 rumors]
  • Jeff Joslin (0-1 UFC) is rumored to be facing Chris Lytle (2-6 UFC) at UFC 73 in July. Due to their records in the UFC this bout will likely be on the undercard of a stacked event but given their familiarity with fans it might make for a good opening bout for the PPV depending on how the rest of the card plays out. [UFC 73 rumors]
  • The Jon Fitch vs. Roan Carneiro date is still up in the air. Some sources seem to point towards the fight taking place at the TUF 5 finales while others, including Fitch’s sponsor UFC Mania, indicate it will be at UFC Fight Night 10. A recent Sherdog article made no mention of the bout in their story on the event but in either case I will continue to keep an eye on this fight until we finally learn where/when it will actually take place.
