Ah, the Sunday Morning Rumor Mill. The moment of the week in which everyone reads items from around the MMA world that could potentially be true, but reside in the realm of ‘rumors.’ If we all weren’t still replaying Cung Le’s KO over Rich Franklin on Sunday morning, this installment of the SMRM would have come much earlier. Instead, you’re getting the Tuesday Night Edition delivered directly to your door — or computer monitor. Whichever comes first. Enjoy.
