Hearing that we may have some disappointed @UFC fans soon due to some unfortunate circumstances for an upcoming card. ��

For what it's worth, there's a rumor going around Dan Henderson is injured, so I assume if this is true, this is it.

And to add even more fuel to the fire...

If what I'm hearing is correct, UFC 151 may be in desperate need of a main event. And that sucks.

@MMAdamMartin

I am hearing that Dan Henderson may have injured his knee, but is unclear as of this moment whether he has pulled out of the Jon Jones fight

Luke Thomas @SBNLukeThomas

@Jdiddy381 @KCBanditMMA @jamiekilstein again, I'm not talking about Hendo's health when I say the matter is 'worse'. Relax, people.

So I've heard he may have a knee injury but Luke Thomas who is the most credible of those guys is saying he doesn't have a health issue, apparently. Hopefully he's not had some sort of family crisis here.

Ok so Luke Thomas is also saying it's not doping either, so...

Jon Jones is fine
Hendo's health is fine.
Hendo appears to be within the allowed limits.

This isn't looking good.

Man that would be a bummer.

But i really really hope if Dan Henderson is injured then he will pull out of this fight. I dont need another Main Event that sucks and then later excuses about injuries are thrown out. Dan Henderson fought Jake Shields injured and that didnt do anyone a favor except Shields. And Jon Jones is 10x the opponent Shields is.

Yeah it is a very messed up thing to allow to happen. This will impact the UFC hugely if true. Sept 1st is the fight. Dan should be doing light training the last 2 weeks. Stuff like swimming,Bike Riding, Punching bags, And just repeating combos and dodging punches with a coach.

I do have a feeling that this isnt true. I certainly pray it isnt.

I mean he is a roided out 40 year old, he might've injured himself in a light jog.

I honestly can't fathom this. This is near unprecedented.

It'd be like LeBron James injuring himself in practice during the Home/Away switch in the NBA Finals.

I understand things like cuts because those can just be freak accidents.



....


EDIT: Just read Lyoto's post.....AHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA




**** TRT.

Oh and Im guessing Dana's changing his mind on the whole HOF thing.


Gotta love Team Quest....a stable of cheating, old wrestlers.

Can't see that its trt, he's been on it since pride came to the US. So I can't see that he would be fine up until possibly the biggest fight of his career.

Based on what I'm seeing on Twitter he probably injured himself like a dumbass and now is getting some extra side money to fight through it.

Not that I care anyway because he wasn't going to win anyway.


I like that he sent a fake tweet talking about how he had such a great sparring session today.

Why are you even sparring a week before a fight anyway?



EDIT: Yeah, now it's pretty much confirmed that Hendo has been injured for a bit during camp and is wearing a knee brace.

Fight is still on, he's fighting injured.

Well this would suck. Been watching hype videos for the fight all day/week. Really was looking forward to it. Now it seems a JBJ demolishing is happening (as it would have, but now more so) even faster or not at all. Ugh. I'll wait for confirmation - and also for 'It's FIGHT timmmme' before getting too excited again, haha.

TRT is legal, get over it. Next we will be complaining about fighters being able to train and not relying on natural skill.

We don't have to necessarily like it, but complaining and fighting amongst each other isn't achieving anything. If you feel so strongly against it, I suggest a petition or a letter to the NSAC.

Pardon? Care to point out where I have insulted ClydebankBlitz and where he has even insulted me?

Advising him to watch the WWE is classed as an insult? You calling us a bunch of 10 year olds is the most insulting post in the entire thread. We're having a discussion about TRT, I don't see what's wrong with that.

@Clyde. The WWE isn't a real sport, it's scripted, the competition amongst the athletes isn't actually real. A part of me hopes that you're trolling here though.

Sport: An activity involving physical exertion and skill in which an individual or team competes against another or others.

Gymnasts compete against each other, divers compete against each other. The men and women in the WWE are simply not competing against each other. Find me any kind of source which deems the WWE as a legitimate sport please.
