DFW is saying as far as he knows the fight is still on.

Who knows about Dana's shit. It's probably off and they are trying to work some shit behind the scenes with Phil Davis, Wandy, or Glover. The Swedish docs said there is a 99% chance he won't fight. I really want to see this fight as well...it's actually the only fight I'd care about seeing besides Jones vs. Sonnen but who knows. It's a shame the card sucks so bad to the average fight fan. Ross Pearson and Ryan Couture aren't headline material. Good luck selling that one. Connor McGregor shouldn't be a facebook prelim either. WTF is that about.

I don't think its confirmed but...http://www.mmaweekly.com/wanderlei-s...si-on-saturday

Which means Dana lied again. What a fucking shocker that is.

I wouldn't be shocked at all if he did. He's broken most of the records other then Silva's title reign, about the only thing he could do at this point to improve his legacy is winning a second belt, meaning a fight with Silva essentially, which only Couture and Penn have done in the UFC. He's probably getting tired of having to maintain such an intense training regimen and peak physical shape and after the knee surgery he might want to go out before he has something worse occur. Considering how rich he is by now there isn't much reason for him to keep fighting unless he's going to do a superfight or just try and pad the numbers on his record.

Fighters in all sports are always talking about retiring. Until they are actually out of the sport for a few years I don't pay any attention to it. Remember a couple years ago Silva was retiring?

Gustafson being replaced by one of his training partners, Iliir Latifi, who is now set to fight Mousasi? Wow is all I got.

Uriah is fucking scary. So glad he took that pussy Bubba out.

So that Rumble/Arlovski fight: 1st round went 8 seconds long. That 8 seconds is when Rumble tagged him and really fucked him up. How does a timekeeper fuck up that bad? He hit the 10 second warning right, and then just fell asleep. Seriously fucked up.

Anyways, picks are up for this weekend so go make 'em.

That was news the day after it happened.

Sure was, but it wasn't posted here(was it?). And I just watched it and had thoughts on it. So you can just deal with it honky!

This is Gustafson today...needless to say Dana is pissed.

Stitches + superglu, he can fight.

They should have just pushed the fight back a couple weeks so his cut could fully heal. The overall card is so weak though I doubt they could just drop the main event without pissing off everyone that bought tickets.

They probably wanted another Swede in to replace Gustafsson since the event is in Sweden. Kind of a dumb way to get Mousasi started in the UFC, hopefully it's still a good fight and we see more Mousasi, I was so disappointed with the Mo and Jardine fights. His fight vs Mo really highlighted the differences between UFC and Japanese scoring to me, I miss JMMA and K-1.
