He has the looks of Andre the Giant, and the strength of Barry Windham. Not to mention he's a hero to a few armadillos, a kangaroo and a small herd of bison.

Sucks for everyone who was ready and fighting on that card.

Sucks for everyone who was ready and fighting on that card. I know, but they didn't have much else for options although a Fight Night headlined by Jacare Souza and Gegard Moussasi would have been better than nothing.

Not all that surprised by this development. They really don't have anything else ready to put on it's place for a main event.

You'd think they would learn after the 151 fiasco, oh well.

UFC is already shuffling fights to other cards, including sending Moussasi vs. Souza to Connecticut.
And Moussasi apparently did not get told that 176 was canceled and only found out through checking Facebook and Twitter. Needless to say, he's not a happy camper right now.
Meanwhile, Dominick Cruz is going to try to return YET AGAIN. Takeya Mizugaki awaits him at 178.

Chael Sonnen has announced through his lawyer that he won't appeal any rulings that NSAC makes and that he admits to taking all the banned substances that showed up on the tests.

Cat Zingano will finally return to action as well at 178. Her opponent: Amanda Nunes.

UFC 174 main eventer Ali Bagautinov got popped for EPO in his pre-fight drug test. They received the results after the event and he has been suspended for a year.
He's currently banned from sambo for another past drug test failure.

Might Mouse actually had a great quote about this. I can't remember it exactly, but he basically said that he proved that talent trumps cheating every time.

Michael Johnson is injured and will not face Josh Thomson at UFC On Fox: Lawler vs. Brown. Bobby Green will step in to take the fight, meaning Abel Trujillo has no opponent at the moment for the Maine card.
The FOX card is as follows now:
Lawler vs. Brown Johnson vs. Nogueira Guida vs. Bermudez Thomson vs. Green
Also, Chris Lytle has been hired to replace Chael Sonnen in FOX's UFC broadcasts.
UPDATE: Because FS1 has their lineup full of baseball, the TV prelims will ALSO air on FOX starting at 6 EDT/5 CDT.

Guida-Bermudez should be an awesome fight.

You learn something new everyday. As someone who follows sports but not necessarily MMA, I just learned the term 'medical suspension' as it relates to MMA. Apparently in MMA, it means a forced leave of absence due to injury. I bring this up because at first glance, it sounds like... a different kind of 'medical' suspension. And because of that, you could say this news headline is misleading: www.mmafighting.com/2014/7/7/5879133/ufc-175-medical-suspensions-weidman-rousey-faber-among-nine-fightersJust to clarify, there is NO mention of failed drug tests in this article. So yeah, am I right to assume that MMA fans could hear the term 'medical suspension' and only think of injury and NOT drug testing? You would be correct. There are often a few medical suspensions after an event and the term always relates to an injury not drug failure. In other news, UFC 174 is the lowest ppv buyrate in nearly a decade, doing somewhere between 95,000 and 115,000 buys. I guess Mighty Mouse won't be main eventing ppvs for a while. www.mmamania.com/2014/7/10/5889255/report-ufc-174-ppv-buys-worst-modern-era-johnson-bagautinov-mma

UFC has four potential main events for Ronda going forward. Zingano, Holm, Cyborg and Carano. Yes the latter two don't make sense from a pure sports standpoint but UFC is about giving the fans what they want. Cyborg and Carano would be massive shows and Zingano and Holm have the potential to be big shows.
