As the weekend approaches

1. UFC Fight for the Troops is coming on quick. This is such a good thing. Kenny Florian backs out and we may see an even more entertaining main event without him. The UFC is in a win / win spot this weekend. We will be blogging and tweeing throughout the event so be sure to come back and check us out at www.twitter.com\bluegrassmma.

2. Matt Mitrione is on the the card Saturday. Will we see good things from him? I expect so.

3.Ryan Couture is booked for Strikeforce Challengers coming up on Showtime. Keep an eye out for this guy. Will he be following in the footsteps of Papa Couture? He's young and has all the tools at his disposal. One can't help to think he will always be in the mix just by carrying the family name.

4. Jose Aldo is booked for UFC 129 in Toronto. GSP must feel a little pressure to make a good show of his title defense against Jake Shields. Shields better bring the heat on this one because this writer doesn't feel he should be in this spot. My prediction Aldo will steal the show. At least get a bonus of some sort.

5. Last but not least. Kimbo Slice. C'mon man. Multiple outlets are reporting that he has signed a pro-wrestling contract in Japan. I can't let go of the hope that he would return and wow everyone in the UFC. I will always believe that if he got a different fight to start TUF we would have seen him in the contract fight and who knows. Make your paper while you can I guess.
