Injury bug strikes again.

This thread is a jinx. Delete it, Ninja!

Much less significant injury, Rivera stepping in as a replacement again. He has power in his hands, hope he connects this time.

Joe Silva has been earning his paycheck this week, with the UFC's matchmaker forced into scramble mode to deal with a plethora of injuries to fighters scheduled for upcoming cards, all seemingly occurring simultaneously. The latest casualty is featherweight, Pablo Garza, who was scheduled to take on Josh Grispi at UFC on Fox 4 on August 4th. No news has been released on Garza's injury, but the UFC updated the event website for the card yesterday with the new bout, which will feature BJJ ace, Rani Yahya, filling in against Grispi.

Jose Aldo out of 149. Faber vs Renan moved to main event 149.

Lol, what a joke

Pissed about that one

It would be interesting to see how many card in the last year have gone off as planned, they are doing a hell of a job and scrambling to fill cards, good thing there is no MMA union cause these dude are going down life NFL players as of late.

Dana spoke to MMA Weekly and had some advice for fighters to stop this plague:

Quote :

"I think what's happening too and me and Joe Silva were talking about this tonight, you have so many talented guys out there now all in the same camp, going at it like they're fighting for the title, these guys need to tone it down in training a bit and stop hurting each other,"

said White.

White also attempted to dispel the notion that the UFC's decision to insure fighters against injuries suffered in training has caused more of them to miss events:

Quote :

"Guys that fight in the UFC and the guys that we deal with all the time are hungry to fight. These guys want to fight, and they want to get paid. The more you sit on the sidelines, and the more you're out, the less money you make," White stated.

"Like I always talk about the short window of opportunity in the fight business, I don't think that's the case."

After the jump, Stann breaks it all down for the gang at FUEL TV (via MMA Weekly):

Quote :

"Shawn Jordan and I were in the cage and he went for a hip throw and he landed on my shoulder, all 275 pounds of him. I think he slipped. He knows not to land on me. But it happened. And you know you could hear the crack right away. It’s one of those feelings were you know when you are hurt and when you are injured. It’s a grade-two separation of my right AC joint, which is what I am feeling right now. It’ll be six to eight weeks recovery, but no surgery, thankfully. Hopefully, I can heal this up real quick and get my full range of motion back. But, right now I can’t even pick my hand up. You know, probably the biggest issue I am going to face now is trying to return too early.I would like to get back in the gym and try to hit some pads in 4-5 weeks, but the doctors were very adamant that even at six weeks I am not going to be able to put the pressure on the shoulder to wrestle the way I should. I am trying to stay in shape using my other three limbs in the meantime."

Bibiano Fernandes out of 149...

Delete the thread ninja!!!!!

Damn another man down

Maybe my previous idea of PPV's being made up of all fighters from the same weight class wasn't so bad. That way it would be easier to make the new fights because everyone would be training for that PPV anyway.

Fernandez has come out and said he isn't even signed with UFC

strange, why would he be on a card and not signed? makes no sense

He never was in the card it's coming out he isn't injured he was never even signed te injury is attributed to bad Mma reporters jumping to occlusion (bloody elbow mmamania)

Big nog out. Shawn Jordon in against Kongo.

It's just getting annoying now.

Delete the thread!

Jordan is going to crack Kongo
