Dana White says Ronda Rousey will defend against Gina Carano in December ... if Carano inks UFC deal
Gina Carano will fight Ronda Rousey for the women's bantamweight title, likely at UFC 181 in Las Vegas on Dec. 6 at the Mandalay Bay Events Center, if Carano signs a new deal, UFC president Dana White told reporters in Dublin on Friday.
White and UFC CEO Lorenzo Fertitta have a face-to-face meeting scheduled Monday with Carano and her attorney in a bid to finalize a contract.
White told reporters Friday that the fight would be in December, but not on the UFC's annual New Year's Eve card. The Dec. 6 show at Mandalay Bay is the only pay-per-view the UFC has scheduled in December.
That raises three major questions:
• Does Carano deserve a championship match after five years on the sidelines?
• Can Carano make the bantamweight division's 135-pound weight limit?
• Would Carano stand a chance to be competitive with Rousey?
Let's start with the last question first. The sport has evolved in the last five years, particularly the women's side. If they indeed fight at UFC 181, Carano will enter the bout without a win in more than six years after losing her final fight against Cris "Cyborg" Justino on Aug. 15, 2009. She defeated Kelly Kobold on an Elite XC card on Oct. 4, 2008, in her last win. Kobold took the fight with Carano coming off back-to-back losses and has only fought once since.
Prior to that, Carano defeated Kaitlin Young on May 31, 2008, a card best known as the debut of Kimbo Slice. Carano stopped Young in the second round. Including the loss to Carano, Young is 3-7-1 and hasn't won a fight since Jan. 6, 2012.
It is difficult to imagine a scenario in which Carano can give Rousey a more competitive fight than either Miesha Tate or Sara McMann did.
That leads to the question of whether Carano deserves a title shot. The answer is absolutely not, at least not on her own merits.
But Rousey badly wants to fight Carano. Rousey got into MMA because of Carano and has expressed her admiration for Carano numerous times. Rousey has done so much for MMA and the UFC that if she wants a match with Carano that badly, she deserves it.
Let's be honest: It's not like there's been anyone in the division who has been tearing through the opposition and would be short-changed if Carano took the title shot.
Yeah, Cat Zingano was promised a title shot, but she got hurt and then suffered through a personal tragedy and she hasn't fought since April 13, 2013. She has a fight scheduled against Amanda Nunes on Sept. 27 at UFC 178.
The other person who at least would have some argument is Justino, who isn't in the UFC yet.
I want to go on record as saying this: I am 100 percent against those who use performance-enhancing drugs, as Justino has done. But I think she's being unfairly singled out by White for that usage. White, for example, is advocating Vitor Belfort for a shot at Chris Weidman's middleweight title. Belfort, of course, failed a drug test following a Pride show in Las Vegas in 2006, and he failed a random test given to him by the Nevada Athletic Commission in February. In addition, his performance only went up after he went on a testosterone replacement therapy regimen.
That is unequivocally wrong. If you, as the promoter, have no problem with Belfort's record as far as PEDs go, then it is unconscionable to have one with Justino's.
However, Justino has yet to prove she can make 135 pounds. She first said it would impact her health if she tried; her most recent stance is that she will try, and she plans to fight on an Invicta card at bantamweight in December.
So, Carano getting that Dec. 6 title shot vs. Rousey would not impact Justino, either.
The final question then is whether Carano can make weight. She says she can, but she has a long history of being unable to make weight at a higher number. It's clearly right to be skeptical of her ability to do it.
Undoubtedly, it would be one of the biggest fights the UFC has ever put on and would mean big money for both fighters.
If Carano can compete safely, then why not?

Dana White: 'If BJ Penn loses, I'll push for retirement'
BJ Penn is one of the greatest fighters to ever live. He's captured two world titles in two different weight classes and put together one of the more impressive streaks in MMA history as UFC lightweight champion before losing the belt to Frankie Edgar in 2010.
However, Penn's greatness has mostly hidden the fact that he has never truly fought in his proper weight class at any point throughout his thirteen year professional career. That means for ten-plus years, Penn has taken shots to the dome from much bigger men, including more than his share of welterweights, middleweights and even heavyweights.
That wear and tear has become evident in Penn's fights over the past four years, during which he's only one won fight in six contests. Penn's last two fights - against Nick Diaz and Rory MacDonald - in 2011 and 2012, respectively - saw "The Prodigy" take brutal beatings for three rounds a piece.
Penn decided to retire. Then he came out of retirement to fight Frankie Edgar this Sunday on the finale card of The Ultimate Fighter 19.
UFC president Dana White told Fox Sports 1 that, should Penn lose to Edgar again this weekend, he will push for the fighter to retire for good. "it could be possibly watching Michael Jordan playing his last basketball game. It could be Tiger Woods' last golf game," White said.
"This could be BJ Penn's last fight, possibly. If he wins, we'll see what he does from there, but if he loses, I will actually push for him to retire."
The fight will be at 145 pounds - the first time Penn has competed in that general weight category since his Brazilian Jiu Jitsu World title tournament win almost fifteen years ago, before he began his MMA career. Even still, with reports circulating that Penn is currently walking around at 150 pounds, it seems as if even featherweight is too heavy a natural class for Penn.
Regardless of weight, it would appear as if Penn only has a puncher's chance to beat Edgar. "The Answer" beat Penn twice in a row, at lightweight. In those fights, Edgar's main advantage was his speed.
Since moving down to featherweight, Edgar has only looked quicker. Do you agree with White that Penn has taken too much damage over the years to continue fighting?

Chris Weidman: 'I'm going to break Lyoto Machida's will'
UFC middleweight champion Chris Weidman isn't making any bones about his overall strategy for fighting Lyoto Machida this Saturday in the main event of UFC 175. The young title-holder plans to get and stay in the former light heavyweight champion's face until he breaks "The Dragon."
"Stylistically [Machida's] going to be the same as he was at 205. Going down might make him feel a little quicker, a little stronger and maybe give him more confidence," Weidman said during a recent interview on The Great MMA Debate podcast.
"I'm expecting a very confident Lyoto Machida, but I'm going to break his will."
Weidman doesn't have anything personal against Machida - it's just that "The All-American" strives to psychologically break each and every one of his opponents inside the cage. "100%. That's the goal," he said.
"I feel like anyone at middleweight, when I have a full training camp, I'm going to go out there and finish them. That's my mentality. I won't stop. The whole fight will be me trying to finish him. If it goes five rounds, I'm not losing the decision because I'm almost finishing him the whole time. I'm always prepared for a war, but I'm looking for the finish the whole time. I won't be happy unless I finish him."

FRIDAY 7/4 MORNING UPDATE
If you're tuning in to the App for the first time in a while, make sure to check out the big update on the App's home page for notes and information on the changes made to the new mobile site at MMATorch.com in your mobile browser. Our tech team has been working on even more tweaks based on your feedback, and have optimized the site for Safari and the default Android browser. They're continuing to work on the same for both Chrome and Opera as well. Keep sending your thoughts in to mmatorch@gmail.com so we can make the mobile site the best experience for you! We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site today:
-My UFC 175 preview is now live, with my breakdown for the main card and Faber-Caceres from the prelims, along with predictions for the full card. Quick picks for the main card are Weidman, Rousey, Struve, Hall, and Doane. See the breakdowns of those fights with reasoning for my picks in the main listing of our mobile site at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser now!
-In another breakdown of the main event tomorrow night, Kale Havervold goes point by point for the Weidman-Machida matchup. Excerpt: “Though seen as primarily a wrestler, Chris Weidman is also a brown belt in BJJ, and has some impressive finishes via submission. His top game is very good, and his strength really helps him in the clinch as well. He is also very aggressive and willing to take risks in the grappling game, which is very impressive, and could be a factor in this fight should it go to the ground.” See his full breakdown in the main listing.
-Weigh-in results are in the main listing for both of tomorrow's events, the WSOF 11 card from Daytona Beach, Fla., and UFC 175 from Las Vegas.
-Weidman thinks Machida is going to be his biggest test in the division, even bigger than Anderson Silva, and that's a sentiment I kind of share. Machida, down from 205 lbs., may not be quite as dynamic in his striking game as Silva, but his defense is superb, and stylistically he's a much different test for Weidman. Catch the Champ's comments with further thoughts in the main listing.
-Jon Fitch and Rousimar Palhares once again exchanged comments in separate interviews after Fitch said it was “disgusting” that Palhares didn't take the NBC fight, because he's fighting anyway despite his dad needing surgery this week. Palhares says he should just tend to his dad as Palhares has tended to his ailing mother. More from both in the main listing now.
We thank all of our readers for their feedback and patience as we continue making improvements on the new mobile site. We're an independent voice in the MMA space with no corporate backing, and as such we stay afloat on ad revenue. This shift to the full listing on mobile web brings us a better chance to keep ourselves going and to bring our readers everything we have for the last five years and more, as the mobile advertising market is simply stronger than that on the app. Continue sending us your feedback to mmatorch@gmail.com and let us know how the new features with the Disqus comments section and more are working for you on mobile web!

Stefan Struve suffers near-fainting spell, fight at UFC 175 versus Matt Mitrione canceled
LAS VEGAS -- Stefan Struve, a 26-year-old heavyweight who was attempting to return to the UFC from a heart condition, blacked out in his locker room shortly before his fight against Matt Mitrione at Mandalay Bay on the main card of UFC 175. UFC president Dana White canceled the bout, saying, "It's not worth risking" his health.
Struve was diagnosed with a leaking aortic valve last year, but told reporters in the build-up to Saturday's fight that he had recovered and faced no additional risk.
But White said he had an incident in the locker room and was taken to Valley Hospital.
"His heart rate started speeding up and all this crazy [expletive] started happening to him," White told Yahoo Sports at cageside as the Marcus Brimage-Russell Doane fight was going on behind him. "The doctors went in there and they think he had almost a sort of panic attack. They hooked him up to all the machines and he seemed OK, but it's not worth risking it. It's not worth it, so we pulled the fight. We're taking him to get more tests done."
The UFC released a statement on Struve's condition:
Stefan Struve suffered a non-life-threatening, near-fainting spell backstage. Afterwards, the medical team did not feel he was fit to compete. With his health and safety in mind, he’s been removed from the card and is currently under the care of the medical staff. We will provide further updates as they become available.
“I found out what happened and went to talk to Stefan," Mitrione said in a statement. "He was still in his chair and was very apologetic. He’s such a competitor. Obviously health and safety come first.”

Chael Sonnen fired from FOX Sports and UFC broadcasting positions
After it was revealed that UFC fighter Chael Sonnen failed a random drug test administered by the Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) on May 24, the three-time title challenger retired. And now, after it was announced that he failed a second random test given by the NAC on June 5, the UFC and FOX Sports organizations have fired him from his broadcast positions.
FOX and the UFC released a joint statement late Monday night announcing that the UFC Tonight co-host was terminated.
"The UFC and FOX Sports organizations announced today the termination of their respective broadcasting services agreements with analyst Chael Sonnen. This decision comes in light of Sonnen failing a second test conducted by the Nevada Athletic Commission for banned substances in June. Sonnen was previously under temporary suspension by the Nevada Athletic Commission for failing an initial test conducted in May."
Sonnen has failed three drug tests in his MMA career. The first came after his 2010 title fight against Anderson Silva in Oakland.
After that failed test, Sonnen was suspended by the California athletic commission but then made what turned out to be false claims at his hearing in order to succesfully have his suspension reduced. The California commission would later suspend him a second time on suspicion of perjury.
Since testing positive for multiple long-banned substances in the two random drug tests he's been subjected to this year, Sonnen has continued his pattern of using misleading and false statements in order to deflect blame from himself. Sonnen has not yet released a statement about his broadcast contract termination.

UFC Champ Not Bothered With Immediate Rematch
T.J. Dillashaw doesn’t want to seek opponents out to defend his UFC bantamweight title. He wants the promotion to do that for him. So, despite claiming a convincing victory over Renan Barao earlier this year to become champion, Dillashaw’s (10-2) first title defense will come vs. Barao (32-2) – and that’s quite alright by him.

Corey Anderson becomes TUF 19 light heavyweight champ
Corey Anderson took just over one minute to stop Matt Van Buren in the light heayweight finals of The Ultimate Fighter 19 Sunday night. Van Buren had the experience advantage heading into the finale bout against the Rockfod, IL fighter but never got off and ate heavy punch combinations straight away from his flat footed stance.
Van Buren stood tall and stuck his chin out and Anderson wasted little time finding it with his punches. The wrestler dropped Van Buren but the Alliance team member gamely stood back up, only to absorb more shots and get dropped again - this time for good.
The end came as Van Buren laid face down, on all fours, taking punch after punch from Anderson. The referee stepped in and Anderson was awarded the win and TUF 19 title.
The inexperienced Anderson was overcome with emotion afterwards, recounting how he promised his team and family that he wasn't going to come back home until he'd won the TUF 19 championship. "I told them and I'm coming back the champion," he said.
"it came out perfect. I'm very emotional right now. I want to cry right now but I can't on camera."

We truly appreciate the feedback, and we're making changes as necessary. Here's what's on the site today:
-The UFC gave a little bit of reaction to the second Chael Sonnen drug test failure on Saturday night via execs Dave Sholler and Marc Ratner, explaining at least somewhat why there wasn't more of response from the UFC on Saturday. Essentially, they've expressed that the situation is serious, but they'll let the commission do their jobs and go from there. See comments from them both with some further thoughts in the main listing at MMATorch.com in your phone or tablet browser.
-Cub Swanson picked up his sixth straight win on Saturday night, defeating Jeremy Stephens at UFC Fight Night 44. With the win, he's likely to face the winner of the UFC 176 Title bout between Jose Aldo and Chad Mendes, and he said on Saturday he'd like to be the man to dethrone Aldo, so that's the bout he's pulling for. Swanson's comments with further thoughts in the main listing.
-The next UFC Hall of Fame inductee is going to be the first ever UFC Welterweight Champion, coach of a number of UFC Champions, and former Strikeforce announcer, Pat Miletich. More on Miletich's credentials and some thoughts on his induction in the main listing.
-Cub Swanson, Jeremy Stephens, Ray Borg, and Carlos Diego Ferreira each earned an extra $50,000 for their efforts on Saturday at UFC Fight Night 44. More on how they earned their bonuses on the card in the main listing.
-Our poll today asks readers whether or not Cub Swanson has done enough to earn a title fight yet, with 78% of respondents believing that he has. Get your vote in now!
We thank all of our readers for their feedback and patience as we continue making improvements on the new mobile site. We're an independent voice in the MMA space with no corporate backing, and as such we stay afloat on ad revenue. This shift to the full listing on mobile web brings us a better chance to keep ourselves going and to bring our readers everything we have for the last five years and more, as the mobile advertising market is simply stronger than that on the app. Continue sending us your feedback to mmatorch@gmail.com and let us know how the new features with the Disqus comments section and more are working for you on mobile web!
