It’s another great weekend for MMA across the state! As you can see, we’ve been making a few changes on the site again. I took the ‘Calendar’ page down and replaced it with a calendar on the sidebar and a list of events in the sidebar. You can click on most things, so let me know what you think of the new format in the comments. And now for your automated weekly update!

I’m sure you’ve all heard the rumors about UFC 123 coming to Detroit. I know we have. The only reason we haven’t been shouting it from the rooftops is that nothing seems to be set in stone yet.

We heard the rumor that the show was going to be on November 20th at the Palace, but remembered that Donofrio MMA had a show scheduled that day at the Palace. So, we went over to Donofrio’s website and, sure enough, all references to his show on that date were removed… That’s when we really got suspicious. Turns out that Mr. Donofrio conceded the location to the UFC because it’s in the best interest of the sport. Just one more reason we’re glad there’s such good people involved in the sport in Michigan.

That being said, The Detroit Free Press ran the article today, and doesn’t exactly say it’s a done deal, but makes it seem like it pretty much is.

And now, I’m gonna feed the rumor mill a little and tell you the other things we heard…. like maybe Rampage will fight Machida… and maybe Dan Severn will be on the card… and maybe Rashad Evans, too.

It’s just what we heard.
