Print"First of all, just to clear this up, and these guys ... Dan Henderson knows it, Chael knows it, and every other fighter that fights in the UFC knows it, you can't fake an injury. It's impossible to do. You can't do it. When you say you are injured, we bring you to our doctors, and they check you out, and we find out if you're injured or not injured. He is injured, he's out until the summer. That's just those guys yapping."
Despite the recent rumblings from Chael Sonnen and Dan Henderson, who both suggested that UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva was only "injured" to avoid rematching either of them in early 2012, promotion president Dana White (via MMA Digest) insists "The Spider" is indeed recuperating from a legitimate shoulder injury. He also confirms that any fighter claiming injury must be examined by ZUFFA doctors, so there is no possible way for them to pull any funny business. Right?

Jason Miller is a retard with straight hair and curly teeth.Hes a couple of dolly mixtures short of a quarter and spends his time swinging of a tyre attached to a rope! I should have listened to the MMA royalty on here,especially Jay,ANS and ViolentMike who kept reminding me that Mikes wrestling was the best at 185 and 205 and that if Greg Jackson,Randy Couture,Blackhouse,ATT or team quest ever needed any tips on game planning Wolfsalir is just a phone call away

Why would there be one? He defended the belt 3 months ago and he'll be back by june.
By the time gsp comes back it will be around 18 months since his last fight, that’s why they’re doing an interim title. Cain was out 13 months and their was no interim title.

what? Getting taken down repeatedly and punched in the face a lot?

thats what Im talking about
9 months between title fights for a legendary and established champ isn’t shit if you look at boxing. He’s going to KO Sonnen bad and then he’ll fade off back to where he came from, no where

here i am!first of all let me just say Dana White has never EVER said anything that wasn't true......
…….ok reality folks. the truth is that the closest these fighters are looked at by doctors is pre and post fight. the “injury” that plagued silva did not show of in the pre or post fiht medical exams. in fact, ed soares broke the “news” that anderson silva was “injured” by saying that he was on pain pills.
i’m sorry, but “hurt” guys don’t train animals like wandy and machida while they are alledgedly rehabing an old injury. dana white has to cover for his paper champion. he has to. it is that simple. it is good business.
again, did anderson’s shoulder show up on the medical suspension list for ufc brazil?? just when did he get “hurt” again?? answer these questions dana? answr these questions nuthuggers?? better yet, why doesn’t anyone from mmamania ask that question when they get the chance.

Your comment speaks for itself Conan
You’re the glen beck of Anderson silva threads

by wooly shambler on Dec 8, 2011 8:10 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
whatever that means. i noticed u can't answer the question though. how come this "injury" never showed up on the pre and post fight medical exams???
why was there no medical suspension?? why is anderson training the entire time he is suppossed to be hurt?

You notice he didnt say anything about GSP being hurt!?!?!?!
I just wanna say it be for the Diaz fans do.
You mind your own damn business.
by jestermarcus on Dec 8, 2011 7:18 PM EST via mobile reply actions
BULLSHIT!
GSP is the bravest motherfucker out there. Hed never pick an opponent or pull out of an injury due to lack of confidence, ever…and Chael Sonnen is the best fighter thats ever lived.

B.. b... b.. but
Anderson is scared, he scared!!
"He's got a great package... and an unusual one!" Joe Rogan (of Lyoto Machida)
ya the guy who made forrest griffin run away crying is scared
by ElStIkO on Dec 8, 2011 7:36 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
He wasn't crying. He had something in his eye
And he wasn’t running because he was scared, He just needed to use the boys room. UFC doctors confirmed it, so it must be true.
Only the tin-foil-hat wearing 1st year conspiracy theorist
taught that there was any validity to Chael or Dan’s claims. What Dana said he has said for years, even without the conspiracy of a guy faking an injury being attached. With as much money the UFC commands, some people act like its above and beyond to have their own doctors to check what type of injury the fighter has.
As if this was middle school and all you needed was a note from your doc and you’re excused from P.E.
Come on, now.
“Well, the UFC is just protecting him [Silva/GSP]!!! Dana always lies anyway, how can you believe him now?!?!?”
Yeah, that makes sense. Instead of just doing what they’ve been doing to Jon Fitch for years—feed him other fighters not holding the belt—they constructed a shrewd game plan of
“Are you ‘hurt’? Then say you’re ‘injured’. Problem solved. We didn’t really want to make money of your fight with this guy anyway. No biggie.”

battlestar in order to believe the garbage u spew, u have to ignore
All the wrangling that goes into fight negotiations. U have to ignore the fact that fighters are offered fight contracts that they have to accept. U have to ignore that Anderson is training in the gym the entire time he is “hurt”. U have to overlook the fact that the pre and post fight doctors missed the “injury” in question and that this is the second time Anderson has hurt himself when asked to rematch hendo.
Dana will make money off of Anderson no matter what, but he can’t afford to have him walk. Anderson decides when and who he fights. Don’t be a simpleton.

I don’t care if Silva is really injured or not what I do care about is them putting Sonnen in a match with a guy he’s a level above. Silva wants no part of a rematch with Sonnen and it sickens me that he’s going to be allowed to duck him, Dana should be smarter and save Sonnen until Silva is healthy no matter how long it takes.
