Fights Targeted for UFC 130

A couple fights are being targeted for UFC 130. It's not official but here are some of the fights that are targeted to be on the May 28th card.




Rampage Jackson vs Thiago Silva

The fight will most likely be that the winner will be catapulted into the light heavyweight contention. Thiago just came off a one year layoff to rehabilitate his injuries. Coming off UFC 125, Thiago dominated and smashed his opponent Brandon Vera.

Rampage also won his last fight against Lyoto Machida. Therefore the winner will be taking a huge step up in the light heavyweight ladder.

Frank Mir vs Roy Nelson

This match looks to be a very exciting match up in my opinion especially, both being Brazilian Jiu Jitsu black belts.

Frank Mir's job will also be on the chopping block, after Dana White ripped his performance against Mirko Cro Cop.

I'm guessing the whole contract issue with Roy Nelson is resolved. He just came off a gutsy performance against Junior Dos Santos. He took a massive beating and showed a ton of heart.

Also, there is a rumor that Frankie Edgar and Grey Maynard will have their rematch on this card. Its only a rumor, besides Frankie needs to be medically cleared due to the fracture in his nose.
