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.

That was a real kick and good for laughs and lashings of the old ultraviolent.
HORRIBLE NEWS
Anthony Johnson is my favorite player in UFC 2009. this was also the fight i looking forward to the most
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.
Weaknuts.
That sucks for Johnson and I hope he recovers well. But damn! I was so looking forward to this slugfest.
I love me some Sexyama!
Dude lucked out, honestly.

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

yeah, thats where i saw it
never clear on the copy and paste rules on here, or i’d have posted the link.
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.
