Roy Nelson got back on the winning track at UFC 137, defeating the legendary Mirko Cro Crop. At UFC 143, Big Country will welcome BJJ Black Belt Fabricio Werdum back into the UFC.
Saturday’s UFC 137 from Las Vegas, Nevada is now two days old and today the Nevada State Athletic Commission issued its medical suspensions to 10 fighters. While most were minor or for precautionary reasons, undercard fighters Brandon Vera and Bart Palaszewski could be out for up to six months.
UFC 137 was shuffled around numerous times in weeks leading to the fight on Saturday night. In the end though everything happened and it was a night of amazing fights, legends hanging them up, prospects disappointing us and one fighter continuing his division dominance.
To say UFC 137 has seen one of the oddest lead ups to fight night would be an understatement. With press conference no shows, main event changes, injuries galore and a sumo fat suit at weight in, the fighters have a lot to live up to if they want to top that.
“The Nail in the Coffin!”. Alright this isn’t NBA Jam and I’m certainly not Tim Kitzrow but I feel like a Nelson vs. Cro Cop one on one game of hoops would be a phenomenal event in itself.
UFC 137 is finally upon us and although we won’t be getting to see GSP defend his title against Carlos Condit, we will get to watch BJ Penn go toe to toe with MMA’s true Bad Boy; Nick Diaz.
