tuf1_ Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 Just when it seemed the injury bug had slowed. Could be worse and I imagine Chiesa will get a replacement. Had more interest in seeing him fight anyways. http://mmajunkie.com/news/31267/hand-injury-forces-rafaello-oliveira-out-of-ufc-on-fox-5-michael-chiesa-bout.mma?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+mmajunkie+%28MMAjunkie.com+Feed%29 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeyVengeance Posted October 24, 2012 Report Share Posted October 24, 2012 I'd like to see Donald Cerrone or Thiago Tavares step in, Tavares hasn't fought since January, and it'd be a shame if only fights once in 2012, and I doubt Cerrone vs Pettis will happen anytime soon, it would also be a shame seeing Cerrone only having 2 fights in 2012, last year he had 5.

Are you actually serious here? So you think Donald Cerrone, the man who is one win away from a title shot, should fill in for a fight on the prelims against a guy off TUF who hasn't fought any competition that's UFC-caliber? Thiago Tavares is a farfetched fill in as well, but Donald Cerrone? Let's get Frankie Edgar fighting Micheal Chiesa while we're at it! Wow man, I'm sorry but that was embarrassing.

I don't care that Mendes was coming off a loss, that was a total mismatch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
