If GSP wants Anderson Silva next, Johny Hendricks will have to wait!

GSP can face Anderson Silva next, if he asks for it though.

The talks for superfights start again, in the video below Dana White says Johny Hendricks will have to wait again if GSP asks for Anderson Silva. That is if Silva wins his next fight against Chris Weidman on July 6, 2013 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.

I am literally going to call Georges St-Pierre today and I’m gonna see what he wants to do. If Jones beats Sonnen, then we gotta wait for Anderson. Anderson’s gotta beat Weidman.

If Georges says to me, ‘I want to fight Anderson Silva,’ do you think I’m gonna go, ‘No you’re not, you’re fighting Johny Hendricks?’

If St-Pierre lost that fight, he’d still be 170 lbs champion. He’d go down and fight Hendricks for the title.

UFC on Fox 7: Henderson vs. Melendez predictions by MMA Europe

Below are my predictions for UFC on Fox 7: Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez at the HP Pavilion in San Jose, California.

Benson Henderson vs. Gilbert Melendez

I don't think Melendez is as good as a lot of people think he is. Don't get me wrong Melendez is definitely a top 5 lightweight, but I think Henderson is the better one of the 2. Henderson will be too big and too strong for Melendez to handle. I expect Henderson to control Melendez for 5 full rounds to win the decision.

Benson Henderson def. Gilbert Melendez by Unanimous Decision.

Frank Mir vs. Daniel Cormier

I don't see any way how Mir can win this. I think Cormier will come in to fight with the perfect gameplan and stay away from Mir's jiu-jitsu game. I think Cormier will try to keep the fight standing and try to pick Mir apart, Cormier is definitely a lot faster than Mir is and that will be his key to win this.

Daniel Cormier def. Frank Mir by TKO/KO.

Nate Diaz vs. Josh Thomson

Actually I haven't really seen anything from Thomson just yet, so I don't know how he fights. But I do know he was the former Strikeforce Lightweight Champion and Nate Diaz was the UFC Lightweight title eliminator. I'm just guessing now and I'm picking Diaz for the win.

Nate Diaz def. Josh Thomson by Submission.

Matt Brown vs. Jordan Mein

I really like Matt Brown and Jordan Mein looked really great in his first UFC fight but I think Brown will take the win.

Matt Brown def. Jordan Mein by TKO/KO.

Chad Mendes def. Darren Elkins by TKO/KO
Francis Carmont def. Lorenz Larkin by Submission
Myles Jury def. Ramsey Nijem by Decision
Joseph Benavidez def. Darren Uyenoyama by TKO/KO
Tim Means def. Jorge Masvidal by Decision
T.J. Dillashaw def. Hugo Viana by Decision

Dana White expects to add more women's divisions to UFC

Ultimate Fighting Championship President Dana White expects to add more women's divisions to UFC in the near future as he was impressed with the 50 women who tried out for The Ultimate Fighter 18.

Currently, there's only a 135 lbs division for women in the UFC and we've only had 2 women's fights inside the Octagon. The first fight was between current Women's Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey against Liz Carmouch, a bout in which Rousey succesfully defended her belt. After that Cat Zingano won by way of TKO against former Strikeforce Champion Miesha Tate at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale. And when asked if he expects more women's divisions to the UFC he says:

If you think about it, when we started this company, we had heavyweights, light heavyweights, middleweights and welterweights. That was it. When we brought in the 155-pound division, everybody was like, This is crazy. They're too small. Nobody will ever watch.

The evolution of this sport as it's continued to grow, we've been adding weight classes, and the sport keeps getting bigger. There are more and more talented guys in all those weight classes. The same thing will happen with the women.

I think when you got into the 135-pound division, I knew there were enough fights for a year and a half, two years. You think that after it starts to generate some excitement and interest that other women will pop out of the woodwork. I think over the next couple of years, we're really going to see a big boom.

Do you guys think more divisions for Women's MMA will work in the UFC?

Gonzaga's camp is going to appeal loss against Travis Browne due to illegal elbows

Gonzaga's camp is going to appeal his loss against Travis Browne at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale due to illegal elbows.

Gabriel Gonzaga's manager is going to file an appeal with the Nevada State Athletic Commission after his controversial loss to Travis Browne at The Ultimate Fighter 17 Finale that took place on April 13, 2013 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada. Gonzage suffered a KO loss to Travis Browne when he tried to shoot for a takedown. Travis Browne gave some serious elbows to Gonzaga's head which knocked him out in the first round.

There's a lot of controversy about which elbows were legal and which landed to the back of the head. It seemed to me like 3 elbows were legal and when Gonzage was already out, he gave 3 more elbows that appeared to be illegal. Marco Alvan, Gonzaga's manager, wrote a statement on Facebook in English and Portuguese:

Guys Gabriel Gonzaga is ok, thanks for the messages. I need to review it to count how many illegal elbows but Its a fact that it was illegal. I contacted Keith Kizer head of Nevada Athletic Comission and he told me to file a complaint and he would review it. I true believe it was illegal. I never complaint about a losses who knows me know that I handle it good but illegal we can not accept."

I very hope the commission look it carefully and make a correct decision about it. We respect Travis and his camp but it was a sad night. We hope this result can be fixed and get a new fight between them. I don't know who post it but thanks to clarify for all of us!

More on this when we hear more!
