UFC 161: July 6th
-Anderson Silva vs Chris Weidman
-Shogun Rua vs Antonio Rogerio Nogueira II
-Glover Texiera vs Ryan Bader
-Joe Lauzon vs Matt Wiman
-Chris Leben vs Fabio Maldonado (MW, maybe 195)
(prelims)
-Brendan Schuab/Lavar Johnson winner vs Todd Duffee
-Diego Nunes vs Eric Koch
-Steven Siler vs Jeremy Stephens
-Now keep in mind that I finished 4 cards in 5 weeks, not abnormal, but that means they likely wouldnt book another show until July 27th, & then Aldo vs Pettis Aug 3rd.
-I didnt use names Like Edgar or Rashad & by Aug Rousey, Barao/McDonald, Hendo/Machida, GSP, Diaz, Rory, Condit, Kos, Maia, Hendricks, Lombard, Stann, Struve, Hunt, Diego, Mendes, Faber, Cub, Porier, Thiago Silva all should be ready. Not too mention some fighters from the 4 cards in April as well. The possibility still exists that Franklin, Carwin, Penn (@ LW), or even Rampage may fight again by mid-summer as well.
-The UFC is as deep as ever & even tho injuries would ultimately adjust these cards to some degree, they'll also deepen other cards down the line.
