Rampage Jackson Out of UFC 153 With Elbow Injury

Sep 11, 2012 - An injury to former UFC light heavyweight champion Quinton "Rampage" Jackson has led to his removal from UFC 153. UFC President Dana White announced the news via Twitter on Tuesday afternoon.
"Rampage is hurt and out of UFC 153 RIO. SUCKS!!!!!!" White posted.
MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani confirmed the injury is to Jackson's elbow. White didn't know how long he would be out for.
Jackson (32-10) was scheduled to face burgeoning Brazilian contender Glover Teixeira(18-2) in UFC 153's co-main event. According to Teixeira's trainer, John Hackleman, UFC officials are presently working to find a replacement opponent to keep Teixeira on the card.
The injury is yet another blow to an already unlucky year for Jackson. The 34-year-old has fought just once in 2012, falling short in a listless and disappointing upset loss to Ryan Bader at UFC 144.
After a public dispute with UFC officials, Jackson was tentatively scheduled to rematch Mauricio "Shogun" Rua for his final fight under the Zuffa banner, however any plans fell by the wayside when Jackson elected to have double knee surgery in March.

Jeps, Aldo en Rampage zijn geblesseerd...

[The Company]

Godver. Deze kaart was voor alle blessures een van de beste van het jaar, nu is daar niks meer van over.

[steftheboxer]

Gaat lekker met al die blessures in de UFC. Lijkt wel een vloek op te rusten en had zelfs plannen om wakker te blijven voor Aldo vs Edgar

[Diz]

Wat een tegenvaller!

Ze kunnen die gasten beter een paar weken voor het gevecht invriezen... Dan gebeurt er tenminste niks met ze...

[Diz]

Dubbel...

Anderson opnieuw op LHW lijkt mij wel een apparte thread waard...

The world's best fighter returns to action as Anderson Silva will meet Stephan Bonnar at UFC 153.

Follow @MMAFighting on Twitter, and Like MMA Fighting on Facebook.
Sep 12, 2012 - One day after UFC 153's top two fights fell out, two more took their place.
UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva will step up to 205 pounds and meet veteran Stephan Bonnar in the main event of the Oct. 13 card at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro.
The bout replaces the planned featherweight title bout between champion Jose Aldo Jr. and Frankie Edgar. Aldo had to pull out of the fight on Tuesday due to complications from injuries suffered in a recent motorcycle accident.

The new co-main event features a battle of Brazilian light heavyweights as Glover Teixeira (18-2) faces Fabio Maldonado (18-5). Maldonado replaces Quinton "Rampage" Jackson, who also had to pull out due to injury.
MMAFighting.com confirmed the bouts after an initial USA Today report.
Silva (32-4), who will celebrate his record sixth anniversary as middleweight champion the day after UFC 153, has twice stepped up and fought at 205 during his record streak of 15 consecutive UFC wins. Both were first-round knockouts, as he stopped James Irvin in July 2008, and took out former champ Forrest Griffin at UFC 101.
The world's top pound-for-pound fighter had previously stated that he was done competing at light heavyweight, but the opportunity to step up, save a show, and fight in front of his Brazilian fans was apparently too much to resist.
Bonnar (14-7), meanwhile, is most famous for his bout against Griffin in "The Ultimate Fighter 1" finale. While he's had his career ups and downs, Bonnar has won his past three fights.
Teixeira made an impressive company debut at UFC 146, when he stopped Kyle Kingsbury. While there were strong rumors on Wednesday that Thiago Silva would take Jackson's spot against Teixeira, the spot instead went to Maldonado, who was slated to meet Cyrille Diabate at UFC 154. Maldonado is 1-2 in UFC action, most recently coming out on the wrong end of a highly debatable decision against Igor Pokrajac on May 15.

[thijss]

Zit hier iemand op te wachten? Totaal niet interessant imo..

[Pahlavan]

hier zit ik dus totaal niet op te wachten. waarom bonnar nou weer? doe dan rashad ofzo..
een super mooie card is wederom naar de klote. zonde, keek er echt naar uit

[superfreak]

Was Bonnar de enige die wilde of zo... Super groot risico ook. Stel dat Bonnar een goeie dag heeft en Anderson opeens submit of ko slaat of zo... .ja ik weet om en nabij onmogelijk maar alles kan.

[Garcia]

Totaal geen aantrekkelijke partij. Bonnar heeft niets te verliezen en Silva heeft alles te verliezen. Ook vecht Anderson niet op zijn natuurlijke gewichtsklasse dus ook dit is een mogelijk risico voor hem.

Ik ben benieuwd.

[Turboknecht]

Toch snap ik het wel. De kans is groot dat Silva hem pakt en dat is wat die Brazilianen willen zien, dat een van hen een Amerikaan in elkaar stampt. Marketingtechnisch is het niet heel gek voor het Braziliaanse publiek, voor kijkers daarbuiten is het misschien minder interessant.

[MRV]

Volgens mij heel simpel. Voor de Braziliaanse toeschouwer is Anderson een mega goedmaker van een in elkaar gestorte card. Tegenstander doet er voor de massa niet toe. Natuurlijk was bv een Rashad een mooier gevecht geweest, maar dat accepteerd Anderson natuurlijk nooit. Waarom inspringen tegen een giga groot risico? Dit is eerder een gecalculeerd risico voor de UFC en Anderson.

[Sato]

Ik begrijp het gezever op Silva niet helemaal. Hij had ook niks kunnen doen, hij heeft zich WEER aangeboden. Tuurlijk is het geen top partij, maar het is weer een partij. Beter een half bakke card met Anderson dan een half bakke card zonder. Het is natuurlijk weer wachten op de eerste die fuck Dana roept. Het is gewoon klote dat Aldo aangereden is door een auto daar kan niemand iets aan doen. Die blessures daar zit niemand op te wachten, maar het hoort erbij. Shit happens, move on.

[XanaduNL]

Het gaat niet om wat de vechters kunnen winnen of verliezen. Ze vechten voor de fans. (Braziliaanse) fans willen A. Silva zien, het liefst winnend. Lijkt me vrij simpel.

[smike]

Geld is waar de UFC op draait, vandaar de absolute bagger waar ze elke keer mee aankomen, als het maar verkoopt en voor de rest mag je als fan doodvallen.

Manager: Chael Sonnen Not Fighting Wanderlei Silva at UFC 153

Chael Sonnen will not be stepping in on short notice to fight at UFC 153.

Sonnen's manager Mike Roberts refuted a Fighters Only report on Wednesday that Sonnen vs. Wanderlei Silva was a possible main event replacement for the injury-plagued UFC 153 card.

According to Roberts, Sonnen has not been offered a fight at UFC 153, and he is still scheduled to fight Forrest Griffin at UFC 155 on Dec. 29.

"[Wanderlei] Silva's not an option," Roberts added.

UFC 153 lost its main event and co-main event on Tuesday after Jose Aldo pulled out of his featherweight title fight against Frankie Edgar due to a foot injury and Rampage Jackson withdrew from his fight against Glover Teixeira due to an elbow injury.

UFC 153 is scheduled to take place on Oct. 13 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira vs. Dave Herman Targeted for UFC 153

The new UFC 153 fight card is slowly starting to come together.

A day after the card lost its main event and co-main event, Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira and Dave Herman have verbally agreed to meet in a heavyweight bout on the Oct. 13 card in Rio de Janeiro, according to sources close to the event. The news was first reported by journalist Guilherme Cruz of Tatame.com.

The Brazilian Nogueira (33-7-1, 1 NC), who owns a gym in Rio, hasn't fought since his submission loss to Frank Mir at UFC 140. Mir broke Nogueira's arm via a kimura after "Big Nog" refused to tap. Nogueira was scheduled to fight Cheick Kongo at UFC 149, but he withdrew from the fight after determining the injured arm was not fully healed.

Herman (21-4) enters the fight on a two-fight losing streak. He most recently lost via knockout to Roy Nelson at UFC 146.The Nogueira vs. Herman fight is not expected to be the new UFC 153 main event

Frankie Edgar Will Not Fight at UFC 153 as Hunt for New Main Event Continues

One day after Jose Aldo was forced out of UFC 153 due to an injury stemming from a motorcycle accident, it has been determined that his opponent Frankie Edgar will not fight on the card, either, MMA Fighting has learned.

Sources close to the event confirmed Edgar's removal from the Rio event to MMA Fighting's Ariel Helwani.The Edgar-Aldo matchup didn't even make it two weeks before coming undone. Edgar stepped into the match on August 31 after Aldo's original opponent Erik Koch suffered a knee injury and could not make the Oct. 13 date.

Just a few days later, on Sept. 3, we learned that Aldo was in a motorcycle crash while riding home, though his coach Andre Pederneiras said that he suffered minor injuries including a swollen foot that would not preclude him from fighting.

As it turns out, after resting his foot, Aldo was not healed and it was determined he could not fight, either.

As of now, the UFC hopes to still stage the Aldo vs. Edgar fight when the featherweight champion reaches full health, according to the sources.

For now, however, the promotion remains on the hunt for a new UFC 153 headliner.

[XanaduNL]

Geld is waar de UFC op draait, vandaar de absolute bagger waar ze elke keer mee aankomen, als het maar verkoopt en voor de rest mag je als fan doodvallen.

Waar denk je dat dat geld vandaan komt? Van fans die het kennelijk willen zien.
Zucht...

[Sato]

Dave Herman vs. Antonio Rodrigo Nogueira dat wordt waarschijnlijk dus ook de laatste partij van Herman in de UFC. Ik mag hopen dat wanneer Struve wint van Miocic dat hij dan minimaal een top 5 HW krijgt. Verwacht dan winnaar Mir vs. Cormier of rematch Browne.
