LOL, oh god lets hope the UFC didn't pack this guy's bags without telling him and this was all just a mistake..
Ummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Werdum wasn't cut
************************************************** ***********
This is from TATAME which is a reputable website.
“Estou surpreso com essa notícia. Minha irmã é quem negocia com o UFC e ela sempre entra em contato comigo antes de tomar qualquer decisão e até onde eu sei não houve esse contato do UFC com ela. No meu contrato ainda tenho mais quatro lutas que vão até 2010. Pelo cronograma que eles me passaram eu devo lutar em fevereiro, julho, novembro e abril de 2010. Inclusive estou me mudando para os Estados Unidos muito em função dos treinos com o Rafael Cordeiro visando o UFC”, disse Werdum, que está no Brasil acertando os últimos detalhes para a sua mudança para os Estados Unidos já em dezembro.
"I'm surprised with this news. My sister is my manager and shes the one that deal with the UFC and she always contact me first before every decision is made and from what I know UFC didn't contacted her. I still have 4 more fights left on my contract until 2010. From what they told me I should fight in february, july, november and april of 2010. In fact, I'm moving to the USA because I'll prepare for those fights in the UFC with Rafael Cordeiro." said Werdum that is finishing all the details to move to USA in december...

This is so confusing...
MMAweekly is normally spot on and slow with breaking news. They are more about write ups and interviews.
MMAScoops.com has learned that Nick Diaz is scheduled to return to the UFC sometime in early 2009.
MMAScoops.com has also learned that the UFC is scheduling a Fight Night sometime in January or February and there are talks about putting Diaz in the co-main event position.

EDIT- I was hesitant to post this...mmascoops has a spotty record. I mean its pretty obvious he would come back to the UFC so its not exactly breaking news.

I try not to fighter bash.......
but
LOLYou are one of the best fighters in the WEC. Are you thinking of heading to the UFC?
Truth is, after this fight I’m going to the UFC.
Do you have an idea who your first opponent in the UFC will be?
Once I’m in the UFC, my first adversary will be Anderson Silva.
Really? Has that been confirmed?
Yes, it’s confirmed. Once I’m in the UFC I’ll fight Anderson Silva. I think he’s a great fighter, but I’m only going to start thinking about that after my fight with Paulo Filho. If you want to ask me about it after tonight, I’ll be happy to answer.
You ever been to a UFC event Evan? I'd love to go to this one but i live in NY, plane ticket, hotel and hopefully a good seat would burn such a deep hole in my pocket, especially in these times.. But man i'd love to be there..

I even missed two mma events here in Dallas because I had some personal crap going on. Still mad about 1 of them.
Last 2 years have been a roller coaster but I am on calm waters right now.
Plus there was supposed to be a 3rd event here locally but it got canceled 1 week out. A lot of bad timing. I would be stunned if the UFC wasn't here in 09 in Dallas. We have a recession proof area.
Oh, Amirs fight has been taken off Saturdays card.
bahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
As usual people complain about pay and we never know half the story
************************************************** *************
When Urijah Faber lost his fight to Mike Brown at WEC 36 last week, just about everybody saw their collective jaws drop as one of the top featherweight in the world fell to defeat for the first time in over two years.
Fans were just as stunned to see the official payouts from that event and learn that based on his contractually obligated fight agreement; Faber only earned $14,000 for his efforts.
On Monday night, Faber’s manager, Mike Roberts of MMA Inc. addressed the pay situation when appearing on MMAWeekly Radio.
“Absolutely not. Not even close,” Roberts answered when asked if $14,000 was all that Faber was paid. “That was an accurate statement of the check he received that night. Some contractual issues came up after the September fight was postponed and that $14,000 was the remaining balance of what was owed to him. That is not what he made.”
Payments are routinely paid to fighters for things such as “Fight of the Night” and “Knockout of the Night” not to mention extra bonuses paid to fighters for outstanding performances – such as that of Leonard Garcia who received an extra pay bonus for his win over Jens Pulver – despite not picking up one of the usual bonuses paid out following an event. In short, what is paid to a fighter on his bout agreement as filed with athletic commissions isn't always the total compensation that an athlete receives.
Roberts also explained that his fighter is still under an older contract signed with the promotion, but also that the WEC has always been good to arguably their most popular fighter in Urijah Faber.
“Keep in mind Urijah’s still fighting off an old contract, but Urijah’s been well taken care of for the last couple fights,” Roberts commented.
With an extremely marketable style and demeanor, Faber can also expect big things in his future contracts with the organization.
“They take good care of Urijah and going forward I know they’re going to take even better care of him,” Roberts said in closing.
whew..
Antonio Silva is ruining his career. This could stop him from ever fighting in a sanctioned state or signing with a big organization.

And Sengoku is ruining any chance to ever have a show in the US.
why? i think it is smart to get work in Japan since he's suspended in the U.S. Better than sitting around..
His organization is dead anyways.
When you are suspended by a US athletic commission you are expected to honor the spirit of the ruling. When Wanderlei was ko'd at PRIDE 33 he was suspended and he almost fought at PRIDE 34 but a fit was thrown and word was he would lose his US license if he fought.
Irrelevant. A suspension is not org related.
Vitor was ok when he did the same thing...Silva's gotta pay the bills man! lol
I know I'm just saying he doesn't have a home in America to come back to anyways, so he might as well go fight in japan, as long as he doesn't lose his license of course.
Who was Wandy going to fight on Pride 34?
I wouldn't say he was ok.......there was a pretty big gap between pride 32 and affliction and I think affliction had to pull some strings to help him.
Besides...commissions are paying a lot more attention to MMA now than they were a few years ago.
