What’s this? A Sunday Morning Rumor Mill on Sunday evening? Egh, with a strong enough flux capacitor, it’s still Sunday morning in some time zone. The first SMRM of 2013. We wish we can say that these things will be a weekly feature from this moment on, but it really depends on the response we get from this feature. If you want us to continue to deliver the SMRM every week in 2013, just let us know in the comment section. Once again, these are all rumors that have been disclosed by reliable sources within the MMA industry. Nothing is being reported. Enjoy.
- Fallon Fox showed up to the last Invicta FC event and managed to get inside the area designated for fighters. She acted aggressive towards some of the fighters, so an Invicta FC exec asked her to leave but she refused.
- Allegedly Fox claimed she had an AXS TV crew with her (which was false) and from what I’ve been told she wanted to get a confrontation with a fighter on camera to set up a future fight in Invicta.
- Apparently Bec Hyatt had a run-in with Fallon Fox at Invicta FC 5
- Shannon Knapp, the CEO of Invicta FC, wasn’t told about this incident during the event for fear that she may ‘flip.’
- Someone involved with the UFC plans to ‘come out’ at some point this year. Pretty vague, I know, but we have some strong sources indicating this.
- Ricardo Arona plans to make his MMA return in an upcoming Road FC card.
- Something big is coming out of Japan once again. I’m not really clear on the details, but it appears that it will mix the sport of UFC with the sensation of ‘drama.’ That’s literally all I have on this.
- It’s not really a rumor at this point, but the judge that scored the fight for Gilbert Melendez owns an affiliate Cesar Gracie gym.
- It appears John ‘Doomsday’ Howard will rejoin the UFC to take part in the upcoming card held in Boston.
- Bobby Lashley and Josh Barnett may be close to signing with Bellator. Don’t be surprised if the contract is combined in someway with Impact Wrestling.
