Kenny Florian joins the UFC's live event coverage team

Last week, word came down that Kenny Florian might have to retire due to a lingering back injury. Florian told the Boston Herald, “I’m just kind of in a holding pattern. That’s why I decided to do this commentary for the time being and take this next six months to really heal up and try to make some money on the side.”
It seems as if that side job has become a little more lucrative and a lot busier as MMAJunkie.com is reporting that Florian will be joining Jon Anik as a member of

Brock Lesnar: A farewell to the former UFC Heavyweight Champ

If the words he spoke on Saturday night are to be believed, we have seen the last of Brock Lesnar in the Octagon.  In an MMA career that spanned just eight fights he accomplished more than some fighters do over much lengthier careers. Love him or hate him, you have to, even if it is begrudgingly, show some respect for what the man accomplished after joining the UFC after just one professional fight.

Compustrike: UFC 130 by the numbers

UFC 130 may have had main event booking problems, but it didn’t stop the card from having non-stop action from bottom to top.

Matt Hamill is one of the promotion’s best wrestling and a win would boost his stock to the next level. With possibly title shots on the line, this fight is a suitable replacement for the former main event between Gray Maynard and Frankie Edgar for the Lightweight strap

LowKick.com UFC 130: Rampage vs. Hamill Staff Predictions

Rampage Jackson vs. Matt HamillAnton Gurevich: It’s hard to pick against Rampage Jackson in this one. He’s simply too powerful for Matt Hamill. Yes, Hamill is a great Wrestler, but Rampage is a decent wrestler himself, and will surely not allow “The Hammer” to take him down at will. My pick is Rampage Jackson via TKO in Round 2.Joey Santosus: Rampage is capable of ending any fight with a single punch… Duly noted.  However, short of that puncher’s chance, I’m taking the underdog in this one.  I
