****ing Dominic Cruz is injured again. Give up his title now and Faber is fighting Barao, and will probably end up 0-6.

Meh

Apparently Wand and Sonnen had a full on fight during filming of TUF the other day.

Wand swung an overhand, Sonnen ducked it and double legged him, started GnP then one of the coaches on Wand's team punched Sonnen- and it was broken up- sounds insane!

This Cormier Vs Cummins match up is very strange, really surprised they didn't just wait for Evans to get fit again, Cummins is 4/0 but I don't think he's been tested by anyone semi-decent.

Good wrestler though apparently.

Funny that, just as UFC ban the use of TRT...

[Alex]

Did UFC actually ban it? I thought it was just specific commissions?

[Gibbo]

It is to do with TRT says in the release.

I think it's more to do with the governing body not sanctioning Vitor to fight though, not the UFC refusing him.

[Alex]

Just had a bit of a read about it and I think UFC, or specifically Dana White are delighted its been banned in Nevada.

No word now if other commisions will ban it though.

Also murmurings that TRT usage was one of the main reasons GSP walked away. He wasn't a fan apparently.

Oh and for some reason Gustaffson vs Manuwa is on channel 5

UFC Fight Night London 'Full coverage of the latest wrestling action from the 02 Arena in London'

'wrestling action' There's going to be a lot of disappointed 30 somthings when Stone Cold and Hulk Hogan don't appear tonight.

Good card i thought.

Watched the prelims on UFC.com as a guy i knew was on them (he lost, but this is him on the bottom)

Gunnar Nelson looked very good again, have had my eye on him for a few years, since his grappling days. Gustaffson also looked very good, against a dangerous opponent. That knock out was savage!

[Alex]

The Channel 5 coverage was some of the worst ever. 2 Fights in 2 hours and a total of about 4.5 rounds. The rest of it was adverts, or the presenter trying to make Forrest Griffin say stupid ****.

They had their own commentators too, which was a bit jarring at first.

I guess they are trying to introduce a new audience, but doing it like that is a bad way to try.

The other host (not Forrest Griffin) was terrible. He'd clearly never seen an MMA fight in his life.

I don't think C5 had their own commentators, i think Hardy and the other guy were across all channels as they were on the coverage I watched on UFC.com. Rogan and Goldberg don't do "UFC Fight Night's"
