This is starting to get strange now..............
CANTWELL OFF UFC 108...........REPLACEMENT SOUGHT And the curse continues... Vladimir Matyushenko on Tuesday confirmed to MMAWeekly.com that his originally scheduled opponent for this weekend’s UFC 108 in Las Vegas, Steve Cantwell, is out of their fight due to undisclosed reasons. The UFC has told Matyushenko that they are actively searching to find a replacement, and that he should continue his preparations to make weight on Friday and fight on Saturday. Leading up to UFC 108, Cantwell had lost two fights in a row and appeared to be in serious need of a win to stay with the promotion. The former WEC champion was moved to the UFC last year when the WEC ceased promoting the 205-pound weight class. Matyushenko on the other hand recently returned to the UFC for the first time in six years when he defeated Igor Pokrajac at UFC 103 in September. He is currently amidst a run that has seen him win 10 of 11 fights. His only loss during that time was to another recent UFC acquisition, Antonio Rogerio Nogueira, when the two fought for Affliction in January.

Let's all discuss an upcoming fight: Wandy vs. Bisping.
I think Wanderlei knocks Bisping's head out into the fifth row.

Holy shite, I just watched the Aoki fight and Bas Rutten needs to redo the end of the year awards and give Aoki a brazzi for submission of the year.

One of the very few highlights, unfortunately. I watched the whole thing and was overall, disappointed. Alot of early stoppages, only a few really good fights and alot of stinkers.

Thiago Alves and Jon Fitch agree to rematch at UFC 111
Thiago Alves apparently has gotten his wish and will get a rematch with Jon Fitch. Alves (16-6 MMA, 9-3 UFC), who originally was expected to fight Ricardo Almeida at UFC 111, instead has agreed to fight Fitch (21-3 MMA, 11-1 UFC) at the March event. Sources close to both competitors told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) verbal agreements are in place for the welterweight matchup, though bout agreements have not been signed. UFC 111 takes place March 27 at the Prudential Center in Newark, N.J., and airs on pay-per-view. UFC 111 card as of now: Champ Georges St-Pierre vs. Dan Hardy (for welterweight title) Shane Carwin vs. Frank Mir (for interim heavyweight title) Thiago Alves vs. Jon Fitch Ricardo Almeida vs. TBA I wonder if folks think the same of Aoki as they did Lesnar? Broke dudes arm them flipped him off and then ran around the ring and flipped the crowd off. ![]()

Takanori Gomi Signs With UFC
LAS VEGAS -- Takanori Gomi, once considered to be one of the best lightweight fighters in the world, has signed a multi-fight contract with the UFC. MMAFighting.com learned of the acquisition from sources on Friday. Nicknamed "The Fireball Kid," Gomi (31-5-0, 1 NC) had talked about wanting to sign with Strikeforce or the UFC in 2010, and recently spent some time training at the American Kickboxing Academy in San Jose, Calif. No word on when and where Gomi will make his debut for the UFC. The organization has yet to officially announce the signing. The former PRIDE lightweight champion has recently gotten his career back on track after losing two straight fights in Sengoku. Gomi followed up his victory over Takahashi Nakakura at the Shooto: Traditional Final event in May with a unanimous decision win over Tony Hervey at Vale Tudo Japan 2009 in October. I've always liked Gomi. I hope he can return to his former form. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Below are the official weigh-in results for Saturday’s UFC 108 event. UFC 108, which is headlined by the light heavyweight bout between Rashad Evans and Thiago Silva and the welterweight showdown between Paul Daley and Dustin Hazelett, airs live on pay-per-view from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas beginning at 10pm ET / 7pm PT. Fans can also tune in to Spike TV at 9pm ET / 6pm PT to see live UFC 108 preliminary bouts. Main Event Thiago Silva (205) VS Rashad Evans (205) Paul Daley (172*) VS Dustin Hazelett (168) Sam Stout (155) VS Joe Lauzon (155) Jim Miller (155) VS Duane Ludwig (156) Gilbert Yvel (239) VS Junior Dos Santos (237) Jacob Volkmann (171) VS Martin Kampmann (171) Dan Lauzon (155) VS Cole Miller (155) Ryan Jensen (186) VS Mark Munoz (185) Jake Ellenberger (170) VS Mike Pyle (171) Rafaello Oliveira (156) VS John Gunderson (155) *Daley was unable to make weight and for safety reasons, the Nevada State Athletic Commission will not allow him to try to cut to 171 pounds. Hazelett agreed to a catchweight bout at 172 pounds and Daley will be fined 10% of his purse. In spite of all the injury pull-outs on this card, I think it's a great line up of fights.

I am completely digusted by Aoki's actions after he broke the dudes arm. I know there was some beef between them but that what the fight is for. His submissions are sick, but his attitude has really been going down hill. Joe Stevenson has been asking for him, I would like see that.

Highly unlikely. If Aoki comes to the states it will be with StrikeForce.
White:"Evans win probably means March date with Rampage" LAS VEGAS – While former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson's recent acting aspirations have put a potential matchup with rival Rashad Evans on hold, UFC president Dana White said that the grudge match could happen in early 2010. In fact, if Evans can make it past fellow contender Thiago Silva at tonight's UFC 108 event in Las Vegas, the bout could take place in March.
