"Oh we got a problem, somebody spilled ice all over the Octagon. That's a big problem, that's a lot of ice. This is gonna take some time. This is a disaster. Look at it, they knocked the bucket over. This is "The Three Stooges." What are you freaks doing? Now everybody's booing. Now there's even more pressure. Now they're sweeping it out. That's good. Put it on the side and watch [Octagon girl] Arianny (Celeste) fall on her head. There's still ice! There's still too much! GET BACK IN THERE! YOU'RE NOT DONE! THERE'S ICE ALL OVER THE FLOOR! What are these guys doing? There's 100 pieces of ice still on the floor and these guys just scrambled out because of the pressure. What a disaster. There's ice everywhere! Those cornermen, somebody needs to kick their ass."
UFC color commentator Joe Rogan empties his tray during the Ronnys Torres vs. Melvin Guillard fight at UFC 109: "Relentless" last Saturday night (Feb. 6). The ice bag applied to the back and neck of Torres ruptured as his corner was exiting the cage, causing a cubed glacier to make its way across the Octagon floor. Team Torres scrambled to get it cleaned up amidst a verbal berating from Joe Rogan, whose hilarious commentary on "Ice-gate" kept pay-per-view subscribers amused during the icy mishap. Video of the incident can be found here or after the jump.

UFC 109 medical suspensions and injuries for 'Relentless'
by Jesse Holland on Feb 8, 2010 9:25 PM EST

The Nevada State Athletic Commission (NSAC) today issued its list of medical suspensions for UFC 109: "Relentless," which took place on Saturday, Feb. 6, 2010, from the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas.
With several of the night's participants sharing a gruesome common denominator, there were a handful of fighters who were flagged follow up visits with their doctors.
Chief among them is Chael Sonnen for his grisly face and head lacerations that made opponent Nate Marquardt look a little like Carrie on prom night. Joining him on the injured reserves is fellow middleweight Demian Maia after the jiu-jitsu phenom tore open his eyelid while putting a beatdown on the venerable Dan Miller.
But that's not all.
Here is the complete list of UFC 109 injuries and their medical instructions:

Ed Soares: Chael Sonnen should fight Demian Maia to determine number one contender

Quoteworthy:
"We've spoken with Chael on many occasions and have the utmost respect for him. He's never really come across in this manner, and it's obvious he's just drumming up hype in hopes to get a bout with Anderson. We are fine if this is what the UFC wants, but if you look at this logistically, Sonnen should fight Demian Maia first. Demian beat up easily, by submission, so why not make them fight first, to determine who gets a shot at the title? It's funny, but really, who actually listens to what Chael Sonnen has to say? The only time people listen is when he talks about Anderson. Who is he, really? If you walk down the street and you mention his name, does anyone really know who this guy is? Likely not, but if you mention Anderson Silva, people know the name. Chael's also said a few things about Anderson's choice of clothes and that he wears earrings, didn't he? Sounds to us like he may have a crush on Anderson."
Sound familiar? Ed Soares, manager and translator for UFC Middleweight Champion Anderson Silva, is once again playing matchmaker, this time on the heels of a supposed 185-pound number one contender bout between Chael Sonnen and Nate Marquardt at UFC 109: "Relentless" this past Saturday night (Feb. 6). UFC President Dana White promised the winner of Sonnen vs. Marquardt the first crack at the division title after "The Spider" defends it at UFC 112 in Abu Dhabi. Now Soares is tampering with the formula -- much like he did after Dan Henderson decapitated Michael Bisping at UFC 100 to earn his rematch (and we all know how that ended up). Does Soares have a legitimate gripe? Or should he zip his lip leave the matchmaking to Joe Silva?

UFC 114: Ryan Jensen vs Jesse Forbes on tap for May 29

A middleweight bout between Ryan Jensen (14-6) and Jesse Forbes (11-4) has been signed for UFC 114, which is scheduled to go down at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, on May 29, according to MMAFighting.com.
Both fighters are coming off losses, meaning that this could very well end up being a good 'ole loser leaves town match.
Jensen was last seen in action earlier this year at UFC 108 where he was defeated by Mark Munoz in the first round. Coming into that contest, Jensen had only won three of his previous seven fights and has only tasted victory once in five tries under the UFC banner.
Jesse "Kid Hercules" Forbes, a member of the third season of The Ultimate Fighter (TUF), has had a bit of a better run lately than his counterpart at UFC 114. Despite dropping his last contest at UFC Fight Night 20 against Nick Catone, Forbes has only lost twice in his last nine fights.
