rookie DE Noah Spence revealed to reporters Thursday th from corse178's blog

UFC boss Dana White is long on the record as being a fan of Australian middleweight Robert Whittaker. Deonte Thompson Jersey .And now he wants to give Whittaker what he wants - a top-five middleweight to fight in the UFCs hometown, Las Vegas.A win in the fight, which likely wont occur until 2017, would help the impressive Whittaker further push his claims for a shot at Briton Michael Bispings middleweight belt.Im a really big fan, White said of Whittaker on Fox Sports News 500.Actually the next move is, his next fight will be in (Las) Vegas. Ill bring him out to Vegas and hell fight one of the guys in the top five.Those guys in order are Dutchman Gegard Mousasi, former middleweight champ Chris Weidman, Brazilian Jacare Souza, another former champion, the injured Luke Rockhold and top-ranked Cuban Yoel Romero.Then of course at the top of the pile is Bisping.To get to the Brit, Whittaker, who is riding a six-fight win streak (five at middleweight), would have to win this fight and probably another but right now it seems anything is possible for the New Zealand-born fighter.Most recently Whittaker destroyed American Derek Brunson with a brutal first round knockout at UFC Fight Night Melbourne on November 26.Whittakers left jab, right head-kick combo and subsequent punches put Brunson down one fight after Whittaker survived a broken hand to defeat Rafael Natal by unanimous decision in April.The 25-year-old Whittakers form has been impressive and there is plenty of opportunity but the most likely next bout is Mousasi.Mousasi is riding a four-fight win streak and himself is coming off a win over another Whittaker victim, Uriah Hall, and their schedules align.A fight between the two has already been mooted with both fighters keen on the choice.Yeah, definitely. Hes on a winning streak, Mousasi said of Whittaker to Londons Metro news in November.Hes a guy Im looking to fight to get closer to the title shot. That would be a good fight.Whittaker is also on record as being keen on the fight.Hes a top athlete, hes a top fighter, and hes a cool dude. If thats a fight the UFC wants, thats a fight theyll get, Whittaker said after his most recent win.UFC TOP FIVE MIDDLEWEIGHTS AS POTENTIAL OPPONENTS FOR AUSTRALIAS ROB WHITTAKERYOEL ROMERO: middleweight rank 1, from Cuba, UFC record 8-0, notable other achievements: 1999 85kg world freestyle wrestling champion, Sydney 2000 Olympic silver medallist 85kg freestyle wrestling.Chances of fighting Whittaker: None, for now. Romero has only ever lost one MMA fight in his career, a 2011 Strikeforce loss to Brazils Rafael Cavalcante. He recently destroyed former champion Chris Weidman and is on track for a title fight with champ Michael Bisping as soon as March.LUKE ROCKHOLD: middleweight rank 2, from USA, UFC record 5-2, notable achievements: former UFC middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Not good. Rockhold is currently rehabbing the knee injury that postponed his Melbourne bout with Jacare Souza with no set return date. Also hes seen as a logical challenger for the title and wants a fight with Jacare Souza.JACARE SOUZA: middleweight rank 3, from Brazil, UFC record 6-1, notable other achievements: former Strikeforce middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Possible but unlikely. As stated above Rockhold wants Souza and Rockhold is a more direct path to the title for the Brazilian, but the UFC do have a record of pitting different styles against each other and Souzas strong submission style would be seen as a big challenge for Whittaker, one of the best at takedown defence.CHRIS WEIDMAN: middleweight rank 4, from USA, UFC record 9-2, notable achievements: former UFC middleweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Unlikely. Weidman has said hed fight Whittaker but for Whittaker theres little advantage to fighting a former champion on a two-fight losing streak. If he wins he beat a fighter on a downward spiral, if he loses it hurts his chances of moving forward.GEGARD MOUSASI: middleweight rank 5, from Holland, UFC record 8-3, notable achievements: former Strikeforce light heavyweight championChances of fighting Whittaker: Likely: Their schedules align, they both want the fight and a win for either would put them very close to a title fight against whoever holds the belt. Much like Whittaker, Mousasi is riding an impressive win streak and the striking battle between the two could be epic. O. J. Simpson Jersey.ca! Hi Kerry, Its another day and here we are looking at another dubious hit to the head. In this case Blue Jackets forward Brandon Dubinsky elbowed Saku Koivu in the head about a second after he dished off the puck to a teammate, knocking him unconscious. Andre Holmes Jersey .

TAMPA, Fla. -- Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie DE Noah Spence revealed to reporters Thursday that he suffered a dislocated shoulder and slight labrum tear against the Denver Broncos?on Sunday.A source close to Spence confirmed the details of the diagnosis.
