venom33 Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 UFC 112's fight card isn't as "Invincible" as its event name may suggest. Vitor Belfort (19-8 MMA, 8-4 UFC) has been forced to withdraw from a scheduled main-event title fight with middleweight champion Anderson Silva (25-4 MMA, 10-0 UFC) at the April 10 event, which takes place at Concert Arena at the Ferrari World theme park on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. The Brazil-based Web site Tatame first reported the news, which was subsequently confirmed by Yahoo! Sports' Kevin Iole. The Tatame report stated Belfort hurt his shoulder in training and will not be able to recover in time for the fight. Jayme Sandall, Belfort's trainer, stated that Belfort had been unable to use his injured arm in practice. Iole subsequently confirmed the injury with UFC president Dana White via his Twitter account.
Rebel4Christ Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 welp, the rash of bad luck continues. Do they find another oponent for Anderson or do they headline BJ? Sonnen couldn't be ready by then, but what about Maia? His fight at 109 was not that brutal and he might be able to make it. What do you guys think?
venom33 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 i wish dana could sign mousasi in time....but im not sure the ufc fanboys could take seeing mousasi smash anderson and become new champ in his first fight with the ufc. ;)
silentassasin Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Pot stirrer!!!!!But I for one would love to see that fight take place. Maia could be a good choice but he will get beat down quickly. I don't think Sonnen or Nate have very much of a shot against The Spider.
mat Posted February 12, 2010 Report Posted February 12, 2010 Spider is certainly at the top of the #1 PFP debate and would pobably get my vote right now but I would love to see a fight with some one his equal, win or lose.
venom33 Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Posted February 12, 2010 i wouldnt mind seeing couture replace vitor, though i think randy is WAY to slow he does have his wrestling and gnp to fall back on.
mat Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 I don't think Randy would be a good choice. There are several good LHWs out there though
Rebel4Christ Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 wow. I hit that one on the head. Maia it is
Guest baseball25 Posted February 13, 2010 Report Posted February 13, 2010 Never count out coutore my friend but at his age he wants title fights he wouldn't take that fight unless it was for a title.
