MMA News – January 28, 2011

• Melvin Guillard responds to Kenny Florian’s challenge by asking for better competition.  I seem to remember a time when Kenny Florian WAS better competition.  Have those days come and gone?  Considering the best fighter he’s beaten is Clay Guida, I would say yes.
• Joe Stevenson and Danny Castillo have quickly been added to the March 3 UFC card on Versus.  Continuing the trend of underachieving lightweights, Joe “Daddy” really, really needs a win in this one.  A loss here and I think we’ll be seeing Stevenson at the next Shark Fights show.
• DREAM and Strikeforce will be the promotions represented in an upcoming Lightweight Grand Prix.  Shinya Aoki, Tatsuya Kawajiri, Josh Thomson, and Gilbert Melendez are all potential participants, meaning this will be really awesome.  I’ll hold out hope that Eddie Alvarez will take part, but I’m sure that won’t happen.
