Around SBN: Knicks Beat Lakers With Familiar Strategy

I_cfc

According to a report from Five Ounces of Pain, rising UFC welterweight Anthony "Rumble" Johnson has been forced to withdraw from his bout with Matt Brown at The Ultimate Fighter's Season 9 Finale on June 20th. Johnson reportedly injured his knee during training. No word yet on any replacement, or whether the fight will be rescheduled. Ironically, Johnson accompanied his friend and training partner Josh Thomson to Thomson's leg surgery last month.

This sucks.
Does anyone else think that it looks like AJ has 2 elbows in that picture?

Keep firing Assholes!

This is a dream competition for me. I drink as much coffee as I want, and eventually I hallucinate.

would make for a solid replacement against Brown, if he’s available.

I’m slightly happy – I like both fighters and didn’t want either to lose.

Sucks to see the future 170-pound dominant champion have to go through another injury.

yeah, thats where i saw it

never clear on the copy and paste rules on here, or i’d have posted the link.

by woooburn on May 19, 2009 8:15 PM EDT up reply actions  

Posting a link is always good, otherwise it just looks like gossip. Quoting the important part (just a few sentences) and then giving the link is fine, too. Quoting but not giving the source is frowned upon. Passing it off as you own reporting is banned as plagiarism. So long as you provide your sources, you’re covered.
