UFC needs to add another big fight to Jones/Gustafson since let's be real, I doubt most people outside of hardcore MMA/UFC fans have a clue who Gustafson is and if Jones isn't an amazing draw in general, pairing him with someone most people have never heard of isn't going to do much good for the buyrate. Well they just announced the fight so I'm sure they will do that in a short while.

Anthony Pettis hurt his knee and is out of his fight with Aldo at UFC 163.
He's being replaced by the Korean Zombie

Damn, I was looking forward to Aldo/Pettis.
Aldo/KZ is pretty cool though.

Josh Burkman just choked out Jon Fitch in about 40 seconds. Dana's probably pleased Him getting cut isn't looking so bad now

Jon Fitch @jonfitchdotnet 32m Sorry to everyone who has supported me. Went for the slam instead of defending the choke. I'll be back.
I don't see it as a bad loss. A learning experience for someone who got too comfortable with the idea of being a better wrestler than the opponent. Although, I do hope it wakes him up and Fitch gets back to his winning ways.

Dana White is most likely over the moon with Fitch losing in less than a minute.

Dana White has announced that there will that there will be a Canada vs Australia season of the The Ultimate Fighter and both Patrick Cote and Kyle Noke will be the coaches.
Also just watched the Burkman/Fitch fight and dear lord Mazzegatti just stood there not paying any attention.
One of these days either him or Dan Miragliotta is going to get a fighter killed.

^ They are going to look really bad with that one if Anderson ends up destroying Weidman.

Hey, do what you can to get the PPV numbers up. Weidman isn't a huge draw but when you have GSP on tape saying that he will defeat Anderson, you just roll with it and hope that the MMA media go along with it.

In news that will shock absolutely no one: MMA will not be legalized in NY this year. The committee didn't have enough yes votes to bring it to the assembly for a vote.

Dana White doesn't seem too bothered by it. Well, it's not like there aren't 49 other states he can hold events in. And Canada.

As a New Yorker I'm sure what I would say about this would possibly get me banned for the whole 'no politics' rule and I'd like to avoid that. However, I will say that I disagree with the Assembly very strongly.
