"You can’t describe something indescribable. Everyone is upset but I think they understand the situation. It’s part of the life and I will come back stronger after this. This situation gives me more wish to become the champion. Soon I will be fighting for the belt and doing what is need. I just want to thank the support and endearment from the fans. I only ask everyone to root for my recovery. It’s hard to speak over it. It’s like the saying ‘the past is a bounced check, the future is a dated check and the present is money in the hand.' I have to look ahead. I know I have a brilliant career to come. It came until I couldn’t stand the pain anymore. I was sacrificing myself too much. Then I went through MRI scan and the doctor said I couldn’t put off the surgery otherwise I wouldn’t continue working. It could be worse if I fought with my shoulder less than 50% good. Surely It would be a terrible performance and might mean an injury for the rest of my life. I think I did the right thing now."
Vitor Belfort spoke out today about his decision to withdraw from his UFC 112 title fight against middleweight champion Anderson Silva on April 10 in Abu Dhabi due to shoulder surgery that he underwent two days ago. "The Phenom" has explained the pain in his shoulder has been hurting since July of 2009 and the Brazilian had been taking anti-inflammatories just to train. Belfort cannot resume training for four months but promises to come back better than ever when he does. Did he do the right thing? Or should he have made this decision before committing to the Silva fight?

did he do the right thing?
I don’t know…hard to think he believed it would heal itself…and why wouldn’t he want to be 100% before signing? I wouldn’t expect anyone to step in there with him if they had doubts

Look what happened to Cote
He knew his knee was one wrong move away from severe injury and went in there less than 100% and has been on the shelf since…I think it’s the right move for him…this is his career.

Everyone goes in less than 100%, however...
… Cote knew his knee was WAY less that 100%. Like Belfort said, he would have entered UFC 112 with a shoulder at less than 50%. I’d guess Cote’s knee was less than 50%. He stepped wrong, and youch! Done.

Whether we like it or not, he had to do what was right for him and not endanger his future.
I’m dissapointed the fight is not going to happen but I rather him get healthy and see him fight when he is at his best.
Worst MMA news iv ever got
fuck this shit will we will never get to see these guys – gna have to watch andy destroy Chael now. Get better soon Vitor! REAL SOON!

I’m giving him the benefit of the doubt. Shoulder injuries are’t of the variety you can just “fight through”, and his biggest weapon (left hand) would be nullified.
It sounds like he’ll be out close to a year or 3/4 of a year altogether. I really wonder what this will do for his career. I doubt he’ll be coming right back in and getting a title shot.

If they’re not gonna make him fight any legitimate threats like Machida, they might as well let us see him against some big names like Randy or Tito. Maia will be a rerun of Leites, the worst title fight in UFC history.

I dont think this should be much of a debate. Sonnen will be training and he will step up on short notice like he has done in the past.

Okami would be a ridiculous opponent at this point as he lost his last fight to Sonnen and is notoriously injury prone
Fight has to go to Sonnen unfortunately though if he can’t get medically cleared in time and the Wand-Bisping winner emerges unscathed then they could put on that fight instead. Any opponent will be a disappointment for me at this point though, MMA is getting more depressing daily.

I wouldn't mind Wandy vs Andy
We all know how it would end, but there’d be plenty of fireworks along the way! Can’t you just see those two clinched against the fence disembowelling each other with relentless brutal knees! It would be the most exciting fight Silva has had in a looooong time! If Wandy still had his PRIDE chin, it would be a war for the ages.
First Post Ever
Personally i wouldn’t want to see this fight with either fighter less than 100 percent i think we, the fans, deserve to see this go down when both are as healthy as they can be. As for substitutes, I cant think of anything at middleweight that would be proper. That being said, at lhw the only options are randy or thiago, to me not much else makes sense.

how did that go? i mean if he fought the champion one weight class above anders would it really be that far fetched? not that i think bj would stand a chance but i dont think he has ever been ko’d ( correct me if im wrong pls) and has a hell of a chin… it seems crazy but something about that matchup is very appealing to me.

BJ actually gave Machida a tough fight
He’s crazy enough to ask for that fight and both Andy and BJ have a lot of respect for each other, they’ve declared each other as being the best p4p fighter in the past. However if GSP is “too small” for Andy then there’s no way that BJ will get the chance, plus blowing his smart strength and conditioning program for the sake of one fight no matter how big it could be isn’t a smart move for BJ, he’s never looked better or healthier and it’d be a shame to see him ruin that for himself by taking on this fight.

I actually like some American beer and Bud is easily my favourite lager, though the best beers are the British and Irish lagers in my opinion, especially Tetley’s, John Smith’s and Guinness. You can’t beat shots, licquers and cocktails on a night out and I also like glasses of wine and champagne. In other words if it’s alcohol then I’ll drink it, no matter the strength or taste.

We aren't like most MMA sites, I'm sure you've noticed.
We get to know the people behind the clever handles. If you like great people and MMA chat, you came to the right place.

Luge. Guy nailed his head on a pole or something. 21 years old. Pretty sad, but when you think about it, kinda surprising it doesn’t happen more often with the speed they’re going.

ya it was fucked up
Fedor invented a language that incorporates Sambo and Kimuras.
So next time FEDOR is kicking your ass, don't be offended or hurt, he may be just trying to tell you he likes your hat.
Terrible news
Apparently a lot of the top athletes had been complaining about the new course and how their lives were being put at risk for the sake of it. Shows how dangerous luge is, anyone who calls combat sports dangerous should get some perspective. That luge event shouldn’t take place in Vancouver now, I don’t think that it would be appropriate to do so. Always tragic when someone that young dies.

Did he hit his head on his sled, or a part of the track?
I think this would be a part of the Olympics, wouldn’t it? It wasn’t just a warm up run or something was it Lester?

The video is up at CTV’s Olympic site. It is hard to watch. That track design is fucking retarded. No safety nets? It looks like that could easily happen regularly.
What a damper this will put on the opening ceremonies.

theres a women named adam?
Bas Rutten: He has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Stephen Quadros: Yes, well many of the fighters
have a black belt.
Bas Rutten: Yes, but in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you cant
buy your belt like in say, Tae Kwon Do.
Stephen Quadros: Do you have any belts?
Bas Rutten: I have a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do.

dont know if you guys saw this but looks like sonnen isnt an option
Kevin Iole just tweeted that Chael Sonnen will not fight Anderson Silva at UFC 112.
Update: According to Iole, Sonnen wasn’t even offered the fight.
Bas Rutten: He has a black belt in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.
Stephen Quadros: Yes, well many of the fighters
have a black belt.
Bas Rutten: Yes, but in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu you cant
buy your belt like in say, Tae Kwon Do.
Stephen Quadros: Do you have any belts?
Bas Rutten: I have a brown belt in Tae Kwon Do.
I guess Dana has made some big commitments to his new partners in the Middle East and doesn’t want to remove Silva from this card, but I think he needs to postpone this fight and rebook as big a co-mainer for 112 as he can put together.
Then again, I’m not running the company and I’m not privy to all the inner machinations of what transpires behind the scenes.

have him fight at 205
I dont think Sonnen will be able to fight on that card anyway. There are Plenty of fights for him at 205. They already have a title fight on that card anyway.
And leave the 185 pound strap undefended for another six months? What is this, Strikeforce?

Over 200 comments!
Upset news but what can UFC do? In my opinion put on Anderson and Randy Couture to fight each other. Capitain American wants to test his ability and is not interested about belts any longer, so give The Natural an unforgetabble fight.
"Once Flamengo, Flamengo until die"
Yeah, BJ!
This fight makes all sense for their purposes. Anderson knows Randy has a big name and it wouldn’t be a shame to be defeated by the veteran.
It’d sell like hot cakes. Imagine Couture looking for takedowns and the Spider uprising his knees all the time!
Wow, such a scene!

Get well soon Vitor!!!
I hope he heals up quick so he cud get back in the cage & put a woopin on the spider! Sonnen suprised the shit out of me against marquart! I think sonnen wud be the 2nd best choice if they can’t w8 fir vitor!

How about Demian Maia?
Will Sonnen get healed up in time to fight the Spider? I don’t see another guy on the way to the title shot besides Demian.
"Once Flamengo, Flamengo until die"
Edu, you master it
UFC.com made Silva vs Maia official. I knew that all the time.
Gerbasi just wrote my thoughts ahhaha and Joe Silva visits MMAMania.com.

man i hate coming into a thread like this
and it already has like 837346838 comments so then im like….man, id really like to give my input on what people are saying…but shit….thats a lot of fucking comments to read….so then im like, well maybe i’ll give my input on the thread topic…then im like…nah aint no one gonna see my shit cause theres 93639437 other posts….
so i’ll just say this….
i fucking love sluts….drunk sluts…all sluts…
and definantly sluts who watch mma….and a good drunk slut watching mma…thats a hell of a slut…
and im pissed about not seeing this fight though…..
but whatever the fight is replaced with i want to watch it with a drunk slut…
just sayin
my dream fight would have to be Brock Lesnar vs Jake Shields...and before the fight theres a video of jake slapping brock's wife...then id like to see shields try to gay porn a win over brock using his butt sex merry-go-round tactics...the massacre that would take place would be the greatest thing ever televised...every limb jake has would look like corey hill's leg...god i hate jake shields
lol. i was thinknig that same thing.
too many comments, so I’ll just throw some random shit at the bottom, and look what i find!!!
My genie in a bottle fight wish would be Shogun vs Mousasi (very possible in the future)
I hate Shields.
I hate NASCAR and this shitty ass rainy weather in Daytona right now.
I’m tired.
I’m hungry.
I’m not too shook up about this. Never a big fan of either guy, and was still looking forward to it, but whatever.
Mania rules.
My breakout fighter for this coming year: Terry Etim
Upset of the Year: John Hathaway over Diego Sanchez
I didn't think of Maia
That fight was one that I wanted to see until Demian’s last 2 fights proved that he’s nowhere near ready. I say wait until Wand-Bisping then give the winner of that fight the next shot, especially if Wand smashes Bisping quickly like I expect him to though the fact that Andy and Wand made friends could ruin that potential fight whilst a dominant Bisping win (very unlikely) would make him a top contender and a more marketable one than Maia, though at this point Sonnen has Bisping beat as the biggest arsehole at MW and has a better record.
