UFC reveals plans in works to showcase stars in upcoming fights
Four matches involving eight of Ultimate Fighting Championship’s biggest stars - including heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos and No. 1 contender Alistair Overeem - are in the company's immediate plans, according to UFC chief executive officer Lorenzo Fertitta.
Interacting with fans during a late-night chat on Twitter, Fertitta said UFC is targeting Memorial Day weekend for dos Santos, in his first title defence, to take on Overeem. UFC recently reserved MGM Grand Garden Arena on May 26 for what is expected to be UFC 146, the company’s annual May long weekend event in Las Vegas.
Dos Santos defeated Cain Velasquez in UFC’s network debut on Fox. With a viewing audience that peaked at nearly nine million people, it is the most watched mixed martial arts bout in North American history. Overeem, meanwhile, won his UFC debut in December, scoring a technical knockout over former champion Brock Lesnar.
Also in the works, said Fertitta, is a bantamweight title bout between champion Dominick Cruz and Urijah Faber, a heavyweight match between former champions Cain Velasquez and Frank Mir, and the rubber match between ex-light heavyweight champions Tito Ortiz and Forrest Griffin.
According to a Fertitta tweet, the Faber-Cruz grudge match — the two are 1-1 against each other — is happening on July 7 at an event likely to be dubbed UFC 148, the company’s traditional Fourth of July long weekend event in Las Vegas. UFC has reserved the MGM Grand for that date. The buildup for that match will begin March 9, as the two coach opposing teams on the 15th season of UFC’s reality-TV show, The Ultimate Fighter.
Faber defeated Cruz via submission in 2007 when the two competed in World Extreme Cagefighting. Cruz gained some revenge last year, winning a unanimous decision at UFC 132 in one of the best contests of 2011.
Fertitta did not hint at any date or event at which Velasquez-Mir or Griffin-Ortiz would take place. There are plenty of possibilities, however, as UFC has several pay-per-views or network broadcasts in the near future. On May 5 in East Rutherford, N.J., UFC returns to Fox for its third network event; UFC 146 follows on May 26; an as-yet-unannounced UFC 147 is likely to take place sometime in June; the Fourth of July long weekend card is usually one of UFC’s most loaded; and UFC on Fox 4 is set for Aug. 4 from Los Angeles on network television.
Mir and Velasquez are both attempting to get back into the heavyweight title picture. Mir, who held the belt in 2004 and the interim championship in 2008-09, has won three fights in a row, beating Roy Nelson, Mirko Cro Cop and Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira. Velasquez has struggled with injuries recently, requiring shoulder surgery after winning the title from Brock Lesnar in 2010 and suffering a knee injury prior to his title loss last November to dos Santos.
Ortiz and Griffin seemingly get together every three years to settle any differences. In 2006, Ortiz won their first encounter via split decision. In the 2009 rematch, Griffin was awarded the split decision. A rubber match has long been rumoured, and Ortiz has said it will likely be the last of his legendary career.

Junior Dos Santos is preparing for his first heavyweight title defence against Alistair Overeem
UFC fans can look forward to two big fights in the near future after a date was set for Junior Dos Santos v Alistair Overeem, and confirmation was given for Tito Ortiz v Forrest Griffin.
Lorenzo Fertitta took to Twitter to answer several questions from fans on Friday, chiefly among them answering queries about Nick Diaz's future.
Fertitta was also asked when the heavyweight title would go on the line for Dos Santos' first defence against Overeem, and the answer is that the pair will fight on May 26 in Las Vegas.
The UFC chief was less enthused about a potential return for Jason Mayhem Miller, pointing out how poor he looked against Michael Bisping last time out.
But Ortiz will get one final outing before his contract expires, and that fight will be a trilogy-completer against Griffin. The pair have fought twice before, Ortiz taking a controversial decision in 2006 before Griffin earned a split decision in 2009.
Asked what is next for Griffin, Fertitta simply replied "Tito".

UFC: Overeem has gameplan vs Dos Santos
UFC: Overeem has gameplan vs Dos Santos
MANILA, Philippines – Mixed martial arts (MMA) heavyweight contender Alistair Overeem said he has already mapped out his strategy in beating reigning UFC titlist Junior Dos Santos.
Overeem, who pummeled Brock Lesnar to retirement last December, is set to challenge Dos Santos for the UFC heavyweight crown in May.
"The gameplan is already good to go. I already know how to beat him," he said in Cagewriter.
"It's just a matter of training and getting my body and mind in the 100 percent condition it needs to be in."
As part of his preparations, the Dutch MMA fighter moved his training camp to Florida.
He said the warm weather was a factor in his choice of camp.
Overeem and dos Santos are expected to headline UFC 146, an event tentatively scheduled on May 26, 2012 at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada.

Junior dos Santos: “It’s gonna come down to who hits the other first.”
UFC heavyweight champ Junior dos Santos has no illusions about the threat his next opponent, Alistair Overeem, poses when it comes to landing a fight-ending strike. However, the affable Brazilian is also fully aware of his own abilities including one of the most powerful punches in all of MMA.
Dos Santos recently spoke about the match-up, rumored to take place on Memorial Day Weekend in Las Vegas, where he gave “The Demolition Man” his due in offering a realistic assessment of their upcoming affair.
Lorenzo Fertitta Hints at May Melee Between Dos Santos-Overeem
“Overeem is really a tough, dangerous, heavy and really strong guy. I see him as a good challenge,” said Dos Santos to TATAME. “Probably he’s accepting the stand-up fight. To me, it can go to the floor or on our feet. He’s very dangerous, but I gotta use my speed. I really believe in me, I’m always confident about my attitudes. I guess one of the secrets is: believing in yourself (is) half way. I really believe I can beat him. And as any fight, I’ll get there to knock him out. It won’t be different this time. I’m going there to knock him out.”
Not only does he hope to stop Overeem with strikes but “Cigano” is confident he has the skill to do so, though also the intelligence to know he can’t risk absorbing too many of the Dutchman’s shots either.
“I believe so,” replied the 27-year old when pressed on whether or not he could render Overeem into a puddle of goo. “I really believe my stand-up. I believe I can knock anyone out doing the right work. He’s as dangerous as me on the stand-up (and) there’s a reason why he became the champion at K-1. It’ll be a hard fight (but) it’s gonna come down to who hits the other first. The impact of a heavyweight punch can knock one out in a second.”
With ten TKOs in fourteen total wins for the title-holder and 34 stoppages in 36 career victories for Overeem, there’s little doubt Dos Santos is onto something when it comes to the likelihood of a finish. And, from his comments, it is equally clear Dos Santos embraces the possibility with open arms.

QUOTABLES: Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva says "lion" Alistair Overeem "becomes a kitty" when hit
"A fight is a fight and anything can happen. They're two very strong fighters, they're at the top of their division but I don't see how Overeem can beat Junior dos Santos. Overeem is [beating a lot of people], he's a lion, but when [he gets hit] he becomes a kitty. When Junior first connects, Overeem's spirit of a fighter will go to the [dressing] room. I think it will be Junior with another knockout in his career."
-Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva talks to Portal do Vale Tudo about the upcoming UFC Heavyweight Championship bout between Junior dos Santos and Alistair Overeem, and why he believes dos Santos will win. (Comments translated by Orcus at BloodyElbow.com).
Penick's Analysis: Overeem's chin has been heavily questioned for some time, but whether those questions are warranted or not in 2012 is certainly up for debate. Six of his career losses have come by knockout, that is fact, but he's taken some big hits in both kickboxing and MMA in the heavyweight division and hasn't been stopped in either since 2009. Dos Santos will test his chin perhaps more than any other fighter Overeem has faced, but that doesn't mean necessarily that Overeem is incapable of taking those shots. I don't think Silva's characterization is fair or accurate to what we've seen from Overeem lately, but Overeem's reactions to whatever dos Santos throws at him could potentially lend some credence to this statement.

Ja, en Junior's sterkste wapen is "chin-hunting".
Daarom wordt het ook een mooie partij, Overeem's team weet dat ook dus zijn dekking zal hopelijk altijd hoog zitten. En ja, tegenover Lesnar werden de kansen van Overeem ook erg laag ingeschat omdat mensen blijkbaar iets tegen Overeem hebben
ik snap ook niet waar die ''onbetrouwbare kin'' in een keer vandaan komt, Overeem heeft sinds 2007 zat wedstrijden in het K1 gevochten (het wallhalla van kickboksen) en in de MMA tak maar is nog geen een keer knock-out gemept. Zelfs tegen professionele kickboksers zoals Remy bonjavsky, tyrone spong en badr hari wist die gewoon overeind te blijven. En ja jullie gaan nu allemaal verwijzen naar de laatste wedstrijd tegen Badr in 2009 maar ook toen bleef die staan en was het de scheids die de wedstrijd stopte, vlak tegen de vloer is die niet gegaan. Ik snap ook wel dat Dos santos door mensen wordt gezien als Striker nr 1 binnen de UFC heavyweight divisie maar eerlijk is eerlijk dit niveau ligt naar mijn mening sowieso vrij laag binnen het UFC. Om het dus op zijn louis van gaal's te zeggen: Is JDS nou zou goed of is het UFC nou zou slecht
denk daar maar eens over na

Ik heb het ook over zijn kwaliteiten als striker en gebruik het als argumentatie voor zijn zogenaamde '' zwakke kin''. ik begrijp je argument dat het over kan komen als appels met peren vergelijken maar ik gebruik het dan ook om zijn kwaliteiten als striker te vergelijken en gebruik het als argumentatie voor zijn zogenaamde '' zwakke kin''. ik kan het je zelfs nog sterker vertellen dat ik persoonlijk denk dat hij als striker beter uit de mand kan komen bij het UFC dan bij het K1. want alles leuk en aardig maar vorige WGP zag je dat hij zichtbare moeite had met de regels die zijn manier van vechten behoorlijk beperkte.

Ik heb paar video's gekeken van JDS, maar ik vind hem niet bepaald iets speciaals met hem mee dragen. En ik zie ook geen reden waarom hij wel van Overreem zou kunnen winnen.
En dat over die kin, vind ik beetje onzin, hij is ook gewoon een mens die ook gewoon last aan z'n poten krijgt bij voldoende low-kicks, lever stoten en op de plecsus solaris.
