wow. So it looks like Shogun VS Sonnen is official for 161.
It sounds fun in theory because it's Sonnen versus a Brazilian but I bet the fight will suck.

Sonnen basically has a job for life so there isnt any risk taking 2 week fights. I'm pretty sure shogun feels better about this then fighting lil nog. As long as he doesn't come in out of shape, he should be able to submit chael of his backyeah plus he smokes too from what i hear. Dude must have gotten by on pure adrenaline. idkI like the Vitor idea. Bring back Rampage for a one fight deal. Rampage is probably beyond flabby though.
