Maldonado will replace JDS vs Miocic at HW, lol
balls of steel, but he's getting murdered

Great interview, Ray Longo is awesome.
Maybe he is not the best mma coach around, but he is one hell of a trainer when it comes to the overall idea of being a mentor. Should go on a Rogan Podcast

I WANT YOU TO PUNCH A HOLE IN HIS FUCKING CHEST!

This one is great, too. Weidman is somewhat arkward and the stories he tells kind of explain a lot.
There is something about him that screams greatness.
He overcame so much and is so driven, he and Longo are the perfect unit.

"Wanderlei Silva removed from his UFC 175 bout against Chael Sonnen, after failing to apply for license and submit himself for random drug test."

The good news, Vitor Belfort will replace Wanderlei, and will fight Chael at UFC 175 at light heavyweight.

UFC 175 currently looks like this:

Middleweight Chris Weidman (c) vs. Lyoto Machida
Women's Bantamweight Ronda Rousey (c) vs. Alexis Davis
Light Heavyweight Chael Sonnen vs. Vitor Belfort
Bantamweight Urijah Faber vs. Alex Caceres
Heavyweight Stefan Struve vs. Matt Mitrione
Middleweight Uriah Hall vs. Thiago Santos
Welterweight Santiago Ponzinibbio vs. Ildemar Alcantara
Middleweight Luke Zachrich vs. Guilherme Vasconcelos
Middleweight Chris Camozzi vs. Bruno Santos

- Dana White awards Ross Pearson his $30,000 win-bonus for his loss to Diego Sanchez at UFC FN 42. White also says that he's treating Pearson's loss as a win, and he'll get him a higher ranked guy for his next fight, and there won't be a rematch with Diego because there's no way Diego should have won that decision.

So Chael constantly berates Wanderlei for running from his drug test and he just failed a test AGAIN... what a pathetic hypocritical piece of shit

Lauzon Chiesa.... solid bout. And by solid I mean give me that shit in inject-able form. LOVE IT.

Phil Baroni Karo P. LOLLLL! Gimme Karo big time.

Also how do you not mention that Bellator signed KIMBO MUTHAFUCKIN SLICE!

Benson v RDA don't like it at all.

Hope they feed Condit a shitty striker Jiu Jitsu specialist

Gegard vs Jacre great title eliminator

Bader v St. Preux, fine but where the fuck is Anthony Johnson

Soriano vs Fili cool fight

Viacom has some serious aspirations, I thought Rebney was making lemonade with the talent they have.

Jacare vs Mousasi damn.... epic rematch

Lol Kimbo Slice? That is good for Bellator he may be a shitty fighter but he has lots of fans in all over the world. This seems more like a move that WSOF would make.

- Bobby Green vs. Jorge Masvidal at UFC 178.

I guess Diaz is in a stage that he knows he isnt competitive anymore and he rather be destroyed by a legend than a random new comer, this is going to be a one sided ass rape but fun to watch

I wouldn't be surprised if Diaz rapes Silva. He's an idiot for fighting again imo. The only thing he wins by winning a couple more fights is money. Anyway after thinking about it for 15s I'll just watch the fight for what (i hope) it is: a fun fight.

Imo Silva probably wants to retire after a couple of wins instead of retiring after a couple bad losses to an opponent he should have beaten.
