Yeah Gracie was due to Fight Al Turk but due to visa issues Joey Beltran stepped in, Rolles almost had a rear naked choke locked in early in the first round but after that he looked appallingly out of shape, couldn't even muster the energy to pick himself up off the mat

Even Rolles own coach described the performance as embarrasing

Who did Rolles Gracie fight? What was the result? I think my mate may be up against him soon.

Don't think he'll be up against him any time soon, Rolles has been dropped by UFC along with Mark Coleman and Frank Trigg following UFC109

UFC 110 about to start, I'm rooting for Cain Velazquez and Michael Bisping!!

Bisping well beaten on points then.

Bisping well beaten on points then.

I wouldn't say he was well beaten, they were pretty level until that knockdown in the last few seconds of the last round.

Cain Velazquez continued his impressive march to the top of the heavyweight division, i really hope he gets a shot at the winner of the Frank Mir vs Shane Carwin fight but i think the winner of that will be in line to face Brock when he returns this summer to unify the Heavyweight Title.

I hope Mir beats Carwin to set up a rematch with Lesnar so Brock can beat the living **** out of Mir for his stupid comments. I used to be a fan of Mir but that sort of bull**** doesn't belong in this sport and will only hold back the development of it.

Hang on, Mir kept his mouth shut for the first couple of fights, Brock on the other hand was shouting his mouth off constantly and being a right c*nt.

General banter to 'up' a fight is all the norm and expected, but saying that you hope Lesnar will be the first MMA fighter to die from his injuries in a fight......well I think Mir's gone too far and disgraced himself, the UFC and MMA in general.

[spud_gun]

James Toney has apparently signed a multi fight deal with the UFC.

How could you James? How could you?

Did he really say that? Oh dear

[fatistuta]

I'm afraid he did! Dana went mad on him and made him issue an apology. Should really have suspended him and taken away his title shot, but you and I know that this sort of rivalry leads to good box office sales.

Wow. I'd like to hear/read that interview actually, will see if I can find it.

Aye, sad really, but very true.

[fatistuta]

I can't post a direct link because I am typing this on my mobile phone, but if you go to www.fightscoops.com you will be able to find an audio link to the interview, readers opinions about it being taken out of context and then information about Dana White being pisssed about it and demanding an apology.

[MrMichael]

Found it there, cheers dude - http://www.fightscoops.com/ufc/frank...udio-released/ (its right at the end)

Listening to it, hmmmm, I dunno, in context its not quite as bad as it sounds, although still not entirely excusable.

Their return bout will sell a lot of tickets though. Lesnar (if he ever gets fit) will maul him again imo.
