So Brock's out of his fight with JDS, his stomach problems are back. Carwin's replacing him and the winner still gets Cain for the belt. I like this fight better. JDS is a better boxer, but Carwin has scary power, plus he's a great wrestler. I still think JDS loses, but this should be a more entertaining fight.
Jon Jones is now saying he doesn't need surgery on his hand, and he'll be fighting before the end of the year… just not against Rashad. I don't understand how a champion can back out of a fight with an injury, then after his opponent has a new fight scheduled, decide he can fight, just not against the number one contender. If I was running the UFC, I'd demand Jones fight Rashad. If he refused, I'd strip his belt and make Rashad vs Davis fir the vacant title. If he accepts, I'd offer Davis the top fighter of his choosing.
Also, Edgar vs Maynard III is off, both are injured. GSP's eye is back to %100. UFC now offers insurance for fighters between fights. Mitrione and Tito almost got into it at the annual fighter's summit. GSP broke up a scuffle between Rashad and Jones at a night club.
Busy week for MMA without fights!
