To finish off your St. Patty's Day hangover, here are some news morsels from the MMA world:

--- World Victory Road's next event, "Sengoku II", is scheduled for May 18th in Japan. MMAWeely has the rumored fighters --- although no opponents have been named: Roger Gracie, Satoru Kitaoka, Yoshihiro Nakao, Yuki Sasaki, and Kevin Randleman.

--- A Jaime Fletcher and Aaron Rosa fight has been included in ShoXC's Friday show, scheduled to be aired on Showtime at 11:00 p.m. (ET). The match-up is a light-heavy fight between two up-and-comers. Fletcher is 5-3, losing his last three fights, and Rosa had his ten-fight win streak snapped recently, dropping his record to 10-1. The battle has been added to replace a chick fight between Cris Cyborg (aka, Cyborg Santos's wife) and Jen Case. Apparently, Cyborg --- the chick version --- wasn't able to get into the states for the fight (taking place in California), hence the cancellation. Her record is 4-0...her husband was 2-2 in his first four pro fights. Ouch.

--- 5oz of Pain is reporting that Robbie Lawler might be close to signing an extension with EliteXC. He is currently the organization's middleweight champ. Lawler is reportedly going to be fighting in EliteXC's debut on CBS in two months. Robbie has not fought since September of last year and has been battling an injury since December.

--- It's just days away and "The Ultimate Fighter 7" preview is already floating around cyberspace. Check it out below:

Peace, Bitches.
