Updated the card, it's looking pretty good right now. Lets see if it can stick.

Rampage fighting Glover? Damn this card looks nice right now. Hoping for no more injuries.

Sweeeet.

Belfort/Belcher is a great fight but not gonna lie, Rampage shitting his teeth out is the main reason I'll be watching.

Pretty much the same reason for me :

Well obviously Belfort is off this card as he's getting a title shot at UFC 152, well now his former opponent is off this card as well. Alan Belcher announced he has a fractured Spinal Cord. Which just seems like one of the worst possible injuries for an MMA fighter to suffer.

With that happening Phil Davis vs. Wagner Prado moves to the main card on this show. This is a rematch from their fight on Fox which was stopped when Prado was poked in the eye and couldn't continue the fight.

Here's the poster for this show also, ignore Belfort/Belcher as they'll be replaced with Fitch/Silva or something.

Fractured spinal cord? Oh man... dang hopefully he is able to recover from that cause... oh dang that is bout as bad as you can get it.

I was thinikin that Rampage's fight would prob move to co main event now that Belfort is getting a title fight.

Damn Belcher gets the flukiest injuries, I feel bad forr him.

Re: UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch

He was on fire too, seems like his career might be over now though.

Shame, b/c I legit thought he'd be a test for Anderson.

I always thought Belcher had a solid chance as well, too bad the eye injury took a year out him and now it's worse for him and he still has to walk around with that terrible Johnny Cash tattoo.

Re: UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch

Is it even possible to return from a fractured spinal cord? It sounds horrific and hopefully he can fully recover.

Glad that we will see a rematch of the Davis/Prado fight so soon, I still laugh whenever I think of Prado's reaction when the ref stopped the fight. Great emotion. Hoping that Davis can get the win and start his trek back up the card. After the way Rampage has acted I hope that Teixeira can finish him for his final UFC fight.

Belcher says he plans on returning to the octagon eventually. Not sure how possible that is with the severity of his injury, but we'll see.

Re: UFC 153: Aldo vs. Koch

He said on Twitter he'll be ready for November, but take that w/ a pinch of salt.

Look at the guys tat, he isn't a clear headed guy evidentially.

 

[Troy]

I told you that Edgar would get a title shot right away. Koch suffered an injury and Edgar has been brought in as a replacement. Good replacement and I really don't know how to call this fight, normally I think that Aldo will win but Edgar is a completely different prospect. Should be a good fight.

 

[No More Sorrow]

Yeah it's a great fight. I say the winner of this fight goes on to fight the winner of a Chad Mendes/Korean Zombie fight.
