Where oh where is Roger Huerta?
Methinks injury or contract issues.
I remember something about him taking a break because he fought so much...I'll see if I can find it.
Good to see Baroni's punk ass lose
"On Monday, lightweight contender Spencer Fisher was forced to withdraw from his UFC Fight Night bout against Marcus Aurelio on April 2nd due to a shoulder injury. A replacement opponent for Aurelio will be announced shortly. "
-UFC.com
Hendo said this during a radio interview with The Fight Network. Some other interesting parts I recall hearing were:
~he's feeling fine after his loss to Anderson.
~he's staying at 185 lbs.
~he's heard rumors that Wandy wants to come down to MW & he'd LOVE to fight him again, he said that more than once.

The Crow is back
Im suprised the UFC didnt bring him back for the Canada card.
Hector RamirezI love how the UFC tried to hype him up for Forrest Griffin.
Don Frye out of that joke of a MMA org called Yamma pitfight
Will now probably fight Kimbo at EliteXC.
lol...wtf?!?!
The following is the latest OFFICIAL fight card for UFC 84 "Ill Will" on May 24th from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada:
PPV Fights:
-B.J. Penn (c) vs. Sean Sherk (UFC LW le)
-Wanderlei Silva vs. Keith Jardine
-Wilson Gouveia vs. Goran Relijic
- o Ortiz vs. Lyoto Machida
-Thiago Silva vs. Antonio Mendes
Preliminary Fights:
-Sokoudjou vs. Kazuhiro Nakamura
-Jon Koppenhaver vs. Yoshiyuki Yoshida
-Jason Tan vs. Dong Hyun Kim
*****************************
No worries dallaskd, sokoudjou will make it onto the TV card.
Can't wait to see what Kim has...
Thats a good matchup for Sokoudjou. Nakamura is a good fighter and has fought top guys but he has been crap lately. They both looked bad vs Machida but both were making UFC debuts and Nakamura was high going into the fight so it should be intresting. i see Soku with the KO or maybe use his judo to get this to the ground and do some GnP. Or that fight has all the makings to be a boring decision.
I think his career will go fine.
He is so young and by all accounts and awesome teacher. His hype got a little premature. I see no reason why he won't hold a belt one day in the UFC.
Tons of changes/updates...

I think what hurt him right off the bat was he refused to train in the cage. He did not think all those years of fighting in rings with ropes would make any difference. Then after the loss to Gonzaga he started training with a cage but by then i think his confidence was shaken. I still say though that the UFC made a mistake letting him go. He is too talented and still young for them to feel he is all washed up.Cro Cop came into the UFC with an ultra egotistcal at ude that he was going to walk thru the UFC and retire with the belt in short order.
Now he is fighting Fedor level of compe ion…
Yeah…
My HW hero…
What a dissapointment...
Sigh….
Yeash it's a confusing thing…
Supposedly he is coming back when he gets his sh-t back together. The UFC has yet to release a press realease on it so I think he wasn't let go. Just allowed to cross promote for awhile. Contrary to popular belief the UFC does allow people to cross promote, just not if you're a big name on his way up. Small time guys and wash outs get to go do whatever.
I think the moment he gets it together and Dream lines him up for a big time main event I bet he gets yanked right back.

What: CBS/EliteXC Saturday Night Fights first event

Was hoping for a bigger test for Gina...
I am a fan of Gina (and so are my pants) but I am not sure if she is a real fighter or an mma exhibitionist.
