This really sucks. Jorge deserved a big fight in front of his hometown crowd.

What really sucks is I had just lined him up for a community interview….

You should still do it
What? I didn't break it, I was just testing its durability, and then I placed it in the woods becuase it's made out of wood and I just thought he should be with his family.
Revenge of the Birds
Sucks
I was really looking forward to that. He looked awesome against Quarry. I wonder who will replace him. I’m sure Chris Leben has fedexed his cell phone to Guam, so Joe’s not calling him.

Dan Miller, Mario Miranda, and Gerald Harris
would all make great replacements if any of them are in decent shape.

after thinking about it
I wonder if Gerald Harris would be fresh enough to fill in.

Calling Gerland Harris? or Mario Miranda?
Not that I condone facism or any ism for that matter. Isms are in my opinion, not good. A person shouldn't believe in an ism, he should believe in himself.
I quote John Lennon, "I don't believe in Beatles, I just believe in me". Good point there, after all he was the walrus. I could be the walrus. Wouldn't change the fact I have to bum rides off of people.
As much as I love Lawlor, he’s probably going to lose that fight, which would make him have 3 losses in a row in the UFC, and we all know what the usual result of that is.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
When did Rumble say he was going to return? Any chance he can be ready in a month?
The Dos Equis guy wishes he was Brock Lesnar.
I’m not sure Rumble’s elastic pants will be ready in a month.

![Strikeforce star, Cung Le, tells Fight Hype he wants to fight in the UFC, and more specifically, on the UFC 139 card in his hometown of San Jose, perhaps against Chris Leben:
PC: What's your current situation as far as your Strikeforce/Showtime deal? Could the UFC sign you to fight right now?
CL: I definitely have a different contract than the other fighters. Right now, it's all up to the UFC. There may be some roadblocks with the Showtime deal and the Showtime side of things, but we will see what happens.
PC: When would you like something to be ironed out and possibly fight again?
CL: Ever since I heard that Cain [Velasquez] was going to be fighting in San Jose. I would love to be on the same card
PC: At one point, there was a poll done and a lot of people wanted to see Cung Le vs. Anderson Silva. Not only is there Anderson now, but a lot of guys have emerged in the 185-pound division as contenders, such as Brian Stann, Mark Munoz, Chris Leben and Chael Sonnen. Would you be interested in any of those names? Are those the type of fights you're looking to make?
CL: You know, on Yahoo! Sports, there is a Cung Le vs. Leben thread if there was a cross promotion. Like I said, if the fans think it is an exciting fight for them to watch, I'm all for it.
UPDATE: Chris Leben is now confirmed to be fighting Mark Munoz at UFC 138, so it looks like Cung Le will have to find another opponent.](http://cdn1.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/205493/CungLe_crop_340x234_small.jpg)
