i read this too...nice to see the ufc finally making some decent business moves..

Outside of Quinton Jackson and Heath Herring, there has been no confirmation as to which other fighters are part of the deal.

Theses are pertty big names right there.

Good move UFC

I don't think they got Lindland, but if they do Anderson may be in trouble.

They wont take lindland back for three reasons: Very hard to market, Most people find his style boring even though has vastly improved his subs and striking and three they have two excellent strikers who would have a very very hard time with a "boring" ground orientated fighter.

I'de love to see Herring fight Silvia......I think he would take it.

UFC's recent moves are gonna help keep food on many fighters tables, but i just cant help seeing it as monopolizing, they are working too aggressively to destroy other orgs, last year dana sued everybody!! This year events are crumbling, UFC is good but their style is good for them only, they shouldnt try to spread their view of the fight event to every other org.

Lindland had no contract with WFA at the time of purchase, so UFC is not getting him unless they acknowledge the fact that, even though Lindland is boring to watch, he is in the top 5 of the world's middleweight class. Also, UFC is buying up the contracts of WFA and not the actual company. I think WFA will just dissolve while those contracts guaranteed by them will be absorbed by UFC>

I assume you say he sucks because you don't like his style? If my memory serves me correctly, this guy is 19-4 and has fought the who-is-who in mma, beating most of them. You stating that he sucks is proving the point that most people are still not familiar with MMA. I understand that you'd rather watch Chuck Liddell knock people out, I do too, but to say the guy sucks because he comes from a wrestling background and dominates people on the ground, is ridiculous. I personally don't like his style either, but to say that he sucks after beating: Phil Baroni (2), Pat Miletich, Ivan Salaverry, Falaniko Vitale, Travis Lutter, Joe Doerksen, Jeremy Horn, just to name a few and moving up in weight and what some would argue besting Quinton Jackson, that's just sad. But hey, to each is own I guess.

Yeah he has beaten pat militech, baroni(twice) revenged his loss against Vitale, ohh moved up and imo beat rampage then he beat arsedale, beat lutter, Jeremy horn. Ohh and how long was he promised a title shot? oh yeah like 2-3 times then he got cut on a bullshit sportsbook charge, do you know why? He would have beat the sh#t out of Franklin.
