Latest UFC twitter mailbag Stories

UFC Twitter universe has a couple of last-minute questions and comments with UFC 104 coming up on Saturday night, so we'll have a final UFC Twitter mailbag before all the fun starts, with UFC results and live coverage right here at MMA FanHouse.

So for my thoughts on Lyoto Machida vs. Shogun Rua, Cain Velasquez vs. Ben Rothwell, and why Yushin Okami vs. Chael Sonnen should be on TV, read our UFC Twitter mailbag below.

The last 24 hours have given us some big news on the two biggest MMA cards of the fall: The November 21 UFC 106 got better with Forrest Griffin stepping in for the injured Mark Coleman to face Tito Ortiz, while the November 7 Strikeforce/M-1 Global card got better with Rameau Thierry Sokoudjou facing Gegard Mousasi.

So which card is better: UFC 106: Lesnar vs. Carwin, or Strikeforce and M-1 Global: Fedor vs. Rogers? I asked MMA fans on Twitter to weigh in, and a majority picked UFC. A selection of answers -- plus a bonus question about a fight card that I think might be more fun than either of them -- is below.

UFC Twitter universe is abuzz over Rampage Jackson saying on his web site that he's finished with fighting and leaving the UFC because the organization isn't supporting his acting career, and that's how we begin our latest UFC Twitter mailbag.

UFC Twitter universe had questions this weekend about the state of the UFC welterweight division after Mike Swick pulled out of UFC 103 with a concussion, about the reasons for referee Big John McCarthy staying out of the Octagon, and about a couple of UFC lightweights, Gray Maynard and Junie Browning.

MMA Twitter universe spent much of the day urging UFC President Dana White to let referee Big John McCarthy back into the Octagon, and my post about the Big John Twitter bomb drew some feedback for our MMA Twitter mailbag.

MMA Twitter universe had plenty to say about the MTV reality show Bully Beatdown after I posted a clip from the first episode of the show's second season.

UFC Twitter universe is gearing up for UFC 102, but there may be a bit of a dark cloud hanging over the event, as the loser of the main event of Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira could be staring at the end of a great career.

The mixed martial arts world is focusing mostly on Saturday night's big UFC 102 card, with the main event of Randy Couture vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira.
