- Gina Carano coming to the UFC appears to have hit a road block, according to a report from "UFC Tonight." Carano mentioned her desire to return to MMA earlier this year, and even had a meeting with UFC president Dana White.

However, those talks have "stalled" according to the report, leaving Carano as a free agent at this time. Carano retired from the sport several years ago and entered into a movie career.

The new Bellator leader, Scott Coker, was a huge part of women's MMA coming into the spotlight, featuring Carano in a main event against Cris Cyborg on CBS.

- Vitor Belfort believes the UFC will stick by their word and he will fight for the UFC middleweight title in his next bout. The belt will be on the line next weekend when Chris Weidman defends it against Lyoto Machida at UFC 175.

On "UFC Tonight" Wednesday, Belfort's wife told the show that "Vitor has set his sights on the winner of Chris Weidman vs. Lyoto Machida and wants to focus on the middleweight title, and the UFC has told them he will get a shot."

Belfort was scheduled to meet Weidman in May, but when the UFC and Nevada Athletic Commission banned the use of TRT, "The Phenom" was removed. He has since stated that he failed a drug test for elevated levels of testosterone.
