clearly you haven't heard of my huge part in the success of the UFC? I once bumped into Paul Taylor whilst queuing to see Avatar and we had an entire 30 second conversation that probably inspired him for all of his following fights. That conversation probably changed history for the UFC

Since we're getting all grammatical, I hate Hendo's shirt in the pictures with Shogun. Overcome is one word, not two.

UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo suffered a swollen foot and several scratches Saturday after a car hit the motorcycle he was riding in the Copacabana section of Rio de Janeiro.

The injury is not expected to prevent Aldo from defending his title Oct. 13 against former lightweight champ Frankie Edgar at UFC 153. The fight will be held at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.

It was not known which foot Aldo injured.

"The only concern is the swollen foot, but there was no fracture," Aldo's trainer, Andre Pederneiras, told Brazil-based website tatame.com. "He is going to rest this week and get back to training next week.

"He also has some scratches on his knee, leg and butt, but we believe there won't be a problem."

Aldo, who fights out of Rio, has a professional record of 21-1. He will be making the sixth defense of the 145-pound title he won in November 2009 while competing in WEC.

"I suffered a fall, but it was nothing more," Aldo told Brazil-based esporte.uol.com. "There is no problem."

In his most recent bout, Aldo knocked out then-unbeaten Chad Mendes in the first round on Jan. 14.

Aldo was scheduled to fight top featherweight contender Erik Koch at UFC 153, but Koch suffered an undisclosed injury that forced him to withdraw from the bout.

Edgar, who was looking to make his featherweight debut later this year, agreed to replace Koch when UFC officials offered him the title shot. The New Jersey native will enter the Octagon against Aldo with a record of 14-3-1.

Edgar lost his lightweight title to Benson Henderson on Feb. 26 by unanimous decision. He also lost a disputed unanimous decision to Henderson in their rematch Aug. 11.

Dana would have had a stroke if Aldo was unable to still fight. Professional athletes on motorcycles is beyond stupid to me. There are so many stories of guys having their careers altered or ended in sports because they got on motorcycles... Paul Williams being the most recent and tragic.

Palhares vs Lombard in Australia Dec 14th, FX 6
Weidman vs Boestch @ UFC 155 in Vegas

Both good fights IMO, hope Weidman v Boestch aint a #1 contender fight though

Did anyone watch the boxing

Pretty much every fight was AWESOME

Soto Karass/Maidana, Martinez/Beltran and JCC/Martinez were fucking great

YESSIR! Love me some Sergio Martinez. If dude was American, spoke better English or promoted by a Don King/Dana White type instead of an old ass bastard like Bob Arum he would be just as big a star as Pacquiao. He's legit in the ring and a good guy out of it.

Imagine if Vince McMahon went into MMA instead of creating the XFL.

Next Big Thing

It would have been too corny and maybe overly produced. Especially with the inevitable storyline tie-ins that would come. J.R., since I know he's expressed interest in commentating MMA, would be obnoxious.

I think the UFC could borrow a few things from wrestling from a production value sense (e.g., a Zuffatron would be sick and maybe entrance videos tailored for each fighter on the main card), but I don't think Vince would connect with MMA fans as a promoter the same way Dana does.

UFC should do those face to face interviews like boxing with Kellerman. Have Rogan do it with big main events.

Next Big Thing

09-17-2012 06:52 PM

That would be sick as long as they limited it to big main events like you said. Can you imagine Silva and Sonnen face to face with just Joe Rogan (and probably Ed Soares) prior to their fight? The tension would be amazing.

Zuffa should definitely steal a little bit of HBO Boxing's promotional/presentation style.

Mir Out for Fight Against Cormier

Quote:

TORONTO -- Former two-time UFC heavyweight champion Frank Mir suffered an injury that has forced him to pull out of a Nov. 3 bout against Daniel Cormier, a source confirmed to ESPN.com.

The nature of Mir's injury has not yet been revealed.

MMAJunkie.com reported the news earlier Wednesday.

Mir and Cormier were scheduled to meet on a Strikeforce-promoted card in Oklahoma City. It was to be Strikeforce's final heavyweight fight.

Strikeforce has not yet determined whether another opponent will be selected to face Cormier, who was slated to compete in UFC after facing Mir.

Mir was expected to become the first fighter on UFC's roster to compete in a Strikeforce event. UFC and Strikeforce are owned by Zuffa LLC.

During his most recent fight -- on May 26 -- Mir was knocked out in the second round by UFC heavyweight champion Junior dos Santos.

Mir has a professional record of 16-6.

Cormier (10-0) won the Strikeforce Heavyweight Grand Prix Tournament on May 19 with a lopsided unanimous decision over former UFC heavyweight champion Josh Barnett.

http://espn.go.com/mma/story/_/id/84...-cormier-fight

The amount of injuries to fighters in marquee main events this year is insane.

Batista wins his MMA debut via TKO in about 4 minutes. And lol Joe Lauzon playing Joe Rogan the post fight interviewer on the show

MoFo	10-07-2012 10:03 AM

Lauzon is about as awkward on a mic as Batista is at punching people

His takedown looked dece I guess if I had to pick a positive, even if it was just a fat ass who offered no resistance

CSL	10-12-2012 02:19 PM

Strikeforce cancelled their November card. Ruh roh
