WAR VINNY! I wonder who they'll put him up against.

[Matt "Gumby" Glach]

I think Thiago Silva would make a good fight, Vinny would still take him tho.

I mean silva is a legit black belt but i think forrest is better cause he is bigger, stronger and trains with drysdale. Also forrest is a bigger name is vinny wins which i think its a toss up.

Awesome!

Riding a five-fight win streak, submission wizard Vinny Magalhaes has verbally agreed to make his UFC return at UFC 152 September 22nd against dangerous striker Igor "The Duke" Pokrajac in a light heavyweight bout.

Interesting. He told me he had requested Kingsbury or Bonner.

[Kyle Spalla]

Nice striker vs grappler combo I got Vinny by sick submission.

[Compella]

Nice! I can't wait to see some high level aggresive jits on the main stage, make it happen Vinny!

Bonnar wants a Rampage/Shogun/Forrest big name fight, or he wants to retire. Vinny is amazing, but he is not as 'well know' as those guys - yet. :-)
