Injury plagued Todd Duffee released from UFC

Today out of nowhere the UFC has released heavyweight Todd Duffee, according to MMAJunkie. It’s the same Todd Duffee who knocked out Tim Hague at UFC 102 in a UFC record time of seven seconds. Following his UFC debut, Duffee was being called everything from can’t miss prospect to future heavyweight champ.

Silva vs. Maia lost its luster

Just 6 months ago before Demian Maia took on Nate Marquardt at UFC 102 I thought to myself, If Maia beats Marquardt I would love to see him face Anderson Silva. Maia had entered the UFC 6-0 and rolled through Ryan Jensen, Ed Herman, Jason Macdonald, Nate Quarry & Chael Sonnen on route to Marquardt. At 11-0 and having submitted all his opponents in the UFC, Maia to me looked like the one that could contend with Silva.
