Dana needs to step in and offer him the GSP fight and big money

Maynard/Edgar title fight scrapped due to injuries, Rampage/Hamill headline UFC 130

I can't say that is a headline fight but I will probably still buy the ppv.

An awesome card turns into a great one.

Alves/Story to be the on the main card then?

I'm not that upset Maynard/Edgar is postponed. I'm not a huge Frankie fan.

This was a great move for all the fighters!!

If you're a young athlete looking for pointers in how to deal with adversity with dignity, you should watch last night's episode of TUF, focus on Len Bentley and take notes. I admit laughing during the two-minute or so montage of him randomly bitching to various people in the house. As well as the part where he was talking like he was going to bad-ass confront Brock, which led to a reasonable discussion and him then saying it wasn't worth it and he was just going to have fun. Way to talk big and then be a puss, dude!

Brock Lesnar has diverticulitis AGAIN.

JDS/Carwin at UFC 131 now.

Same.

He's my favorite fighter, so this is terrible news.

Dana loses his biggest draw for a couple more months.

They just lost a monster amount of revenue and the people that already have tickets have to be beyond pissed right now.

But the most important thing is that Brock gets his health in order.

I'm not that excited for any of these cards except for the June 18th Strikeforce show, the July 30th Strikeforce show, and UFC 134.

Btw, the dumb fucks from the CSAC have rescinded their decision on Sonnen's suspension and he may now re-apply for a new license in June.

This is good to hear, wanna see him back in the cage, hopefully him and Bisping as coaches on TUF, that would be epic.

It wasn't because they wanted to. It was a technicality in the decision that allowed that.

Dana just tweeted: "It passed 42 to 18!!!!! FINALLY!!! NY!!!!"

So it looks like we're going to be seeing some fights in NY which is good.

From my understanding it has passed before but was shut down by the NY assembly which can happen again, lets hope not!
