Lesnar Out of Title Defense

After recent rumors concerning the UFC 106 main event, it is now official that heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar will not be defending his title and the fight will be scrapped.

Lesnar's reason for pulling out of the fight was due to illness. The illness being linked to a strain of the Swine Flue (H1N1 Flu). The illness was keeping him out of training, due to that he told UFC officials that he will not be able to compete.

Brock wasn't the only one battling the Swine Flu. Looks like Lesnar's was to be opponent, Shane Carwin, was also suffering from illness linked to the Swine Flu. Carwin did have some things to say, which he posted on his blog.

"Last week was the first week that I actually started feeling better from a strain of the swine flu," "I would have never pulled out of the fight,". These were all posted by Shane Carwin on his blog.

Back AGAIN

Alright lets just say I know I have not been updating this and have not made any videos, but I promise you that will change. Starting soon I will be starting the blog up again and providing fans of this blog with great UFC news. I promise you. Going in a new direction, with the videos also. Unlike filming myself with a stupid camera with terrible quality and then waiting forever to finish it and upload it, I'll be doing more of a podcast style. Updates are coming soon and once again I am sorry for letting the fans down, I am coming back.

UFC 107 Gaining and Losing

Alright UFC 107 was looking to be one juggernaut card. With some changes here and there looks like were finally getting a clear look on what will be in held for the showdown in Memphis, TN.

Yes the card will not have the fight between TUF 10 coaches Rashad Evans and Rampage Jackson due to Rampage acting in an upcoming A-Team movie, but will still have one hell of a card on are hands, with a probable new addition.

A fight rumored to happen between heavyweights Frank Mir and Cheik Kongo might just happen for UFC 107. Both men have agreed verbally to fight, but no contracts have been signed. But with Jackson and Evans gone looks like they need a big replacement fight and this one just might fit into the spot.

Anyway the card is still looking to be a juggernaut like I said before. But with no fights set in stone there could be some probable changes. So far though the card is looking to shape up as so.

• BJ Penn Vs. Diego Sanchez (Lightweight Title)
• Clay Guida Vs. Kenny Florian
• Cheik Kongo Vs. Frank Mir
• Alan Belcher Vs. Wilson Gouveia
• Thiago Alves Vs. Paulo Thiago
• Plus Todd Duffee might be fighting on this card

"The Spider" In Repair

Looks like we won't see "The Spider" Anderson Silva in the octagon until next year.

He will undergo surgery on his elbow and will not see action the rest of the year.

So looks like a fight between Henderson and Marquardt just might be in the cards with Silva inactive.

Silva plans for a return in the early stages of 2010.

Swick Out

Looks like Mike Swick will not be fighting at the very upcoming UFC 103.

Swick was in a bout with Martin Kampmann at UFC 103, to determine the no 1 contender for the Welterweight title. That will no longer be in Swick's future.

After suffering a concussion in training not longer than a week ago, this forces him to step out of competition.

Frustrating for Swick he will have to sit out even more with filled cards at upcoming events. So looks like the only chance Swick has of competing soon is if another fighter falls into the same fate he had.

Paul Daley looks to be taking Swick's spot at UFC 103.

Neer Replacing Sherk

After numerous rumors surrounding Sean Sherk's injury, and who would replace him closure has come to the situation.

Sherk was supposed to compete against dangerous Brazilian Lightweight Gleison Tibau, but due to a shoulder injury he had to stay out of competition.

Josh Neer will take Sherk's place at UFC 104. The match will still remain on the maincard line up.

Neer is coming off the recent loss to Kurt Pellegrino at UFC 101.

Matt Hughes Coming Back for More

Matt Hughes the man that dominated the Welterweight division for a while just signed a new contract.

Yes, the long and successful career of the future hall of famer will continue on. But how much longer could this veteran continue?

Well after signing a multi fight contract, Hughes acknowledges that this contract should be the one to end his career.

So far no opponent has been announced for Hughes. Dana White does want him competing though sometime in early 2010.

Hughes also is expressing interest in a hunting show. An idea both him and the UFC think are possible and should make for a good time.
