Bloody Elbow, for MMA and UFC news

Recent cuts by the UFC: Todd Brown (0-2 UFC), Chris Camozzi (2-1 UFC), Rob Kimmons (3-4 UFC), and Dave Branch (2-2 UFC). Camozzi speaking with MMA Junkie: "According to the UFC the issue is less about my performance (they offered to give me a recommendation) and more to do with an overloaded roster and not enough fights for us under contract," Camozzi wrote. "This has nothing to do with the recent merger."

"More UFC trouble. Spencer Fisher suffered a back injury and is out of 3/21 fight with Duane Ludwig in Broomfield, CO." Plus Rob Kimmons is injured and will pull out of his UFC on Versus fight with Mike Pierce. UFC newcomer Julio "The Dominican Demon" Paulino (17-2), based out of Anchorage, AK, will step in and fight Pierce. [UPDATE] by Anton Tabuena - UFC Newcomer, Darren Elkins (9-1) will step in for Spencer Fisher. HT: f4wonline.com, mmajunkie.com, mmaweekly UFC on Versus: Vera vs. Jones coverage
