Wow, I am not looking forward to that at all. They should stay within their weight classes.

Sweet, I am a big fan of both these guys so I really don't know who to cheer for, as both need a win pretty badly!

My question is that if they fight for "Tuff-N-Uff" does that mean that they are out of the UFC? (in Mir's case, I think Babalu has lost Dana's confidence?!? not sure)

I am not familiar with Tuff-N-Uff, but I know Dana does the exclusive bs with his fighters.

I love to see both these guys fight and how will this affect Mir's announcing on the WEC?

Wish they were both fighting in the UFC ...

This is a submission grappling match I don't think that an exclusive contract will come into question here. Several contracted UFC fighters compete in ADCC I don't see why this would be any different.

Babalu was Heavyweight for most of his career. Stop taking your knowledge from Mike Goldberg. Babalu went to decision against Fedor, so give the guy some heavyweight props.

This should be a fun match to watch.

It's a grappling match. Are you stupid?

Recent photographic evidence proves otherwise.
