Man August is going to be fucking awesome for MMA!
We've got Afflitction: Trilogy on the first (which I'm unfortunately going to have to miss due to being up at the cottage on vacation with no tv or internet)
Main Card
WAMMA Heavyweight Championship bout: Fedor Emelianenko vs. Josh Barnett
Light Heavyweight bout: Renato Sobral vs. Gegard Mousasi
Middleweight bout: Vitor Belfort vs. Jorge Santiago
Heavyweight bout: Gilbert Yvel vs. Paul Buentello
Lightweight bout: Takanori Gomi vs. Rafaello Oliveira

We get the first of two UFC events starting with 101 on the 8th
UFC 101 Main card
Lightweight Championship bout: B.J. Penn (c) vs. Kenny Florian
Light Heavyweight bout: Anderson Silva vs. Forrest Griffin
Welterweight bout: Amir Sadollah vs. Johny Hendricks
Middleweight bout: Kendall Grove vs. Ricardo Almeida
Lightweight bout: Josh Neer vs. Kurt Pellegrino

Then we get Strikeforce: Carano vs Cyborg on the 15th
Main card
Women's Championship (145 lbs) bout: Gina Carano vs. Cristiane Santos
Lightweight Championship unification bout: Josh Thomson (c) vs. Gilbert Melendez (ic)
Heavyweight Championship bout: Alistair Overeem (c) vs. Fabricio Werdum
Welterweight Championship bout: Nick Diaz vs. Joe Riggs

Nothing on the 22nd but then finally UFC 102 on the 29th
UFC 102 Main Card
Heavyweight bout: Randy Couture vs. Antônio Rodrigo Nogueira
Light Heavyweight bout: Keith Jardine vs. Thiago Silva
Middleweight bout: Chris Leben vs. Jake Rosholt
Middleweight bout: Nate Marquardt vs. Demian Maia
Light Heavyweight bout: Krzysztof Soszynski vs. Brandon Vera

I'd really like to know what channel the Strikeforce event is going to air on up here in Canada because I don't get Showtime and this main card is fucking packed. Honestly while other cards might have better individual fights Strikeforce has done a great job of stacking the card for what is without a doubt their highest profile main event with Carano vs Cyborg.

UPDATE: Sounds like Fedor-Barnett might not be happening. Just read that Barnett failed a drug test but have'nt been able to confirm it yet. Yet knowing his history I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Also apparently Overeem is out of the fight with Werdum. You have to assume that Werdum is more or less ready to go so I wonder if we'll see Werdum/Fedor.
