Rousimar Palhares is out of his fight with Yushin Okami and has been replaced with Greg Jackson fighter Buddy Roberts.
Vitor Belfort and Alan Belcher are set to meet at UFC 153.

Man, I'm still waiting for the day Yushin Okami wins a fight via Ligerbomb.

The heck is with every guy getting injured or pulling out of fights for undisclosed reasons? This is getting totally ridiculous.

Match Mitrione with Browne? That can work.

I thought Cormier was in line for a title shot because he won the Grand Prix. I think I remember Dana White talking about how the winner would get an automatic UFC title shot.

I think the time has come to take away health insurance again. Injured or not, the cards are messing up way too much.

Can't put the genie back in the bottle, now.
"Hey guys, you're getting hurt too much, so we're cutting health insurance," would lead to a heck of a reaction from the fighters and media.
Although, I agree that some people are obviously using it as a way out for not feeling prepared or believing they should be an absolute 100% which is almost impossible.

I don't know what happens when Cormier hits the UFC but the plan was that the Grand Prix winner fights one more time in Strikeforce before moving over to the UFC. Plus, it's Dana. He always changes his mind. This is a great move. Mir probably figures he won't be getting another title shot any time soon so he'll be a company guy and take a fight in Strikeforce so that Cormier can get a real fight before going to the UFC. I like it. Should be a good one. Maybe that means UFC will actually promote the show for once.

Well Dana White has said that he would prefer Cormier fighting at LHW not HW in the UFC.

Well Cormier has said that if Cain beats Dos Santos in their rematch he will drop to LHW so my guess is he will do what King Mo does and try to get his walk around weight to be just about 205.

Pretty sure Dana also said if Cormier wins this last fight the title shot is his if he wants it I wouldn't be surprised that he did but Cormier did say if Cain Velasquez beats in JSD is their rematch he will drop to 205. Also Dana White has said that winner of the Shogun/Vera fight will get a title shot.
