TUF lightweight champ Mac Danzig (18-4-1) will not fight in Minneapolis on 9 August.
In a bulletin entitled “Some MMA blogs will post anything.”, Danzig posted the following on MySpace Thursday:
“Mac is NOT fighting at UFC 87 and never was supposed to (despite the rumors on websites).”
Fighters.com reported Tuesday that MMA Junkie had reported Danzig had signed to fight “The Carpenter” Clay Guida (29-9) at UFC 87.
Danzig added, “There are talks of Clay Guida as a possible opponent, but nothing is signed yet.”

Ha gotta love rumor-mongering.
Where did MMA Junkie get this news?
Obviously from somewhere that made it up
But shouldn’t they try to double check the validity of their stories especially if you want to be taken seriously
mmajunkie is stupid
I agree
So is he still listed on the card?
Apparently yes, but just no confirmed opponent
stupid rumors
Sometimes rumors come true…keep us posted!!
Well, maybe the rumor mill is trying to give Mac a career… fighting against Guida would be a brilliant move. No disrespect to Bocek, but Guida would be Mac’s first real test in the UFC… amazing ground skills and fantastic standup… Mac would sure as hell have to train for the fight, but a win would give him some respect and credibility for those who like to dis on the TUF fighters…
