The fix is in. Sorry MMA conspiracy theorists, that was in reference to this week’s Sunday Morning Rumor Mill as in ‘your Sunday Morning Rumor Mill fix is in’. I mean who out there seriously thinks Anderson Silva vs. Chael Sonnen was a ‘work’? Apparently a few of you do and in true rumor-like fashion, I’ve also included your bizarre theory in this week’s mill. Enjoy.
- Dream 16 in September will most likely be another Dream vs. Sengoku event.
- Aoki, Daley and Zaromskis have been removed From United Glory’s eight-man welterweight tournament due to ‘unreasonable’ contract demands.

- The CSAC is ‘toying’ with the use of ‘half-points’ in a new MMA scoring system.
- Crazy rumor going around that Karo Parisyan was involved in the Roger Huerta ‘street brawl’.
- Vitor Belfort will most likely be Anderson Silva’s next opponent and it will probably happen as late as 2011.
- Fedor appearing inside the August/September edition of the UFC Magazine was apparently a large ‘editorial oversight’.
- A lot of people who ordered the UFC 117 preliminaries online did not receive the programming in it’s entirety as promised.
- You knew this was coming: Anderson Silva intentionally let Chael Sonnen punch him in the face and take him down only to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in MMA history.
- A few days before UFC 117, Anderson Silva got an MRI in California.
- According to Dana White, Roy Nelson vs. Shane Carwin is next on tap. Winner will get a title shot.
