UFC, etc.

There's pictures up of Kampmann's cut from training. It's brutal, and in a really really bad spot.

 

[daikkenaurora]

WOW, Coleman is out?

Yes, yes he is.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

Yeah I figured Coleman was out, he should have been out a while ago. I think Dana was just doing him a favor by giving him a few fights. As for Rolles...he shoudl be gone also...he fights like a 1993 gracie... Nover as well, he might have won a TUF season but he really brought nothing to the table. His striking is terrible.

 

[NASEDO]

News is Belfort is out of UFC 112. That sucks. I was really looking forward to that fight, man the UFC has been cursed lately.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

yeah Vitors out due to a shoulder injury. It figures...such a great match was to good to be true.

 

[Devil_666]

Nover as well, he might have won a TUF season but he really brought nothing to the table. His striking is terrible.

He actually lost his season to Efrain Escudero in the finals.

I guess I get to see Sonnen get his ass handed to him earlier than expected Damn the jones fight is still a month away

 

[kobayashi93]

Sonnen might be out for a while with that cut.

 

[sscalltheway]

Sonnen will not be able to fight in time. No other challenger is worthy. Anderson really shouldn't move up in weight to fight at 205 either because he hasn't defended his belt in so long. Too bad Hendo isn't in the UFC or Marquardt hadn't fought Sonnen.

 

[LOTRFan]

Sonnen might be out for a while with that cut.

He is supposedly ineligible (medically) until the end of March, but there are rumors here in Vegas that I picked up on this morning. Apparently someone from mmafighting.com had gotten a text from Dana White that Silva's fight would definately be in the 185 class (so no catchweight BS) and that would have to mean that the #1 contender gets a shot, right?

 

[Platty]

gutted Vitor is out, was looking forward to that one myself.

 

[kobayashi93]

As lame as it sounds in my head, giving Cote another go around with Silva might be one way to solve this. I have no idea what kind of shape Cote is in right now though.

Of course if they had just kept Dan...

well who the hell else is there?

 

[LOTRFan]

well who the hell else is there?

No one really; like GSP, Silva really doesn't have much competition (Belfort would have given him a go though).

 

[Skiman]

well who the hell else is there?

...Skiman...

 

[azurepred]

...Skiman...

I'd watch that..........it wouldnt last very long, but I'd watch that

 

[Skiman]

I'd watch that..........it wouldnt last very long, but I'd watch that

Avoid the clinch and if applied run.... and bite those freaking elbows off.

 

[ArmoredFoe]

He actually lost his season to Efrain Escudero in the finals.

Hmm for some reason I thought he won, ehh... either way he wasnt impressive in any shape or form anyways.

As for Vitor being out, the first person I thought of also was Sonnen to replace him but yeah that medical suspension will set him back for sure. Hopefully this card doesnt go down the tubes also.

 

[LOTRFan]

I wonder if Leites is available ....

 

[azurepred]

I would say maybe Maia, but he just fought, so unlikely........there is literally nobody else close to worthy for a title shot.........maybe this will end up being a non title fight
