Dana White Says Brock Lesnar Has Intestinal Disorder By Amish Patel
Nov 16, 2009 - 2:45:02 PM
- Dana White has revealed to TMZ that Brock Lesnar has some sort of intestinal disorder that will require "major surgery". As we reported over the weekend, White has said there's a possibility Lesnar will never fight again.

Damn.... Brock just can't seem to find his niche in anything without shit going wrong.
ALEXANDRIA, Minn. — A friend of UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar says the ultimate fighter is back at his home in Alexandria, Minnesota, recovering from a bacterial infection.
Larry Novotny says Lesnar was released from a hospital in Bismarck, N.D., on Tuesday and won't make any decisions about his career until his health has improved. Novotny is Lesnar's chiropractor.
Lesnar grew up on a dairy farm in Webster, S.D., and is a former wrestler at Bismarck State College. He was an NCAA heavyweight wrestling champion, and later wrestled professionally with World Wrestling Entertainment Inc.
He announced last month he was withdrawing from his Nov. 21 UFC title defense match because of an unspecified illness.
Hopefully he can recover quickly and continue his greatness.

I heard it was something like he couldn't get a license so he would have had to pay a 32k fine and he couldn't afford it or some shit like that.

So Karo is addicted to painkillers apparently. I hope him the best, and hope that he can overcome the addiction. Hate to see talented fighters who just can't handle it.
Heard that too.

Motherfuck josh koscheck. Fucking hate that stupid bitch for reaaaaal.
The 30-27 for Forrest was ridiculous and was just another in a long line of examples showing the judges don't know what the fuck they are doing. Even though I liked the decision going Forrest's way, it was still bad. I had the fight at a draw. Rounds 1 and 2 going to Tito at 10-9, and round 3 going to Forrest at 10-8.

NSAC'S KIZER COMMENTS ON PARISYAN WITHDRAWAL
by Steven Marrocco - MMAWeekly.com
LAS VEGAS—Keith Kizer, the Executive Director of the Nevada State Athletic Commission, said Karo Parisyan was cleared to fight Dustin Hazelett at UFC 106 this Saturday.
Kizer was unaware that Parisyan had been removed from the card when contacted by MMAWeekly shortly before the pre-fight press conference for UFC 106.
“That’s news to me,” he said. “No one’s told me anything otherwise. As far as I know, he was still on the card as of this morning.”
On Tuesday afternoon, White posted a fiery message on his official Twitter account, saying, “Karo Parisyan has (expletive) over the UFC, the fans and his opponent again! He will not be fighting Saturday or ever again in the UFC!”
Shortly after, White clarified that Parisyan had withdrawn from the fight with a "laundry list of excuses" in a subsequent posting.
Moments after the initial message, Parisyan told MMAWeekly he had been removed from the card because he didn’t pay a $32,000 fine he owed to the NSAC as punishment for testing positive for banned painkillers after his UFC 94 fight with Dong Hyun Kim.
“That has nothing to do with it,” said Kizer. “He was going to pay the fine out of this purse.”
Kizer said he had reached an agreement with Parisyan to take $16,000 from his $40,000 show purse for Saturday’s fight. If Parisyan won, an additional $16,000 would be taken from his win purse, which was also $40,000.
“If he lost or had a draw, we’d get 16 out of his next fight,” said Kizer.
The executive director said he spoke with Parisyan on Monday and the fighter said he was suffering from leg pain.
“He said, ‘is there any way I could take something stronger than Tylenol?’” recalled Kizer. “I said not without our doctor saying okay.”
Parisyan has long suffered pain in his hamstring after badly tearing it in preparation for a title fight with Matt Hughes at UFC 56. The Armenian-American fighter said he took strong pain medication to deal with the injury.
Kizer asked Parisyan to have the doctor treating him for the leg injury to contact the NSAC’s doctor to see whether Parisyan could take something stronger for the pain without using a banned substance. He never heard from Parisyan’s doctor.
After hearing of White’s message, Parisyan told MMAWeekly his career is in serious jeopardy.
“Everything is over, bro,” he said. “I’m just going to go home. Everything’s (expletive) up…I’ve got to think about what I want to do for my career.”
Hazelett declined to comment on the situation until he had received official confirmation from the UFC. White later tweeted that he would pay Hazelett his show and win money.
Woodley continues perfect run
by John Morgan on Nov 21
Highly touted welterweight prospect Tyron Woodley (6-0) continued his winning ways by submitting the more experienced Rudy Bears (10-4) in the main event of "Strikeforce Challengers V: Woodley vs. Bears."
Woodley displayed his trademark blend of explosive wrestling and jiu-jitsu prowess to earn his sixth-straight submission win.
Woodley and Bears met in the main event of Friday's "Strikeforce Challengers V" event at Memorial Hall in Kansas City, Kan. The main event aired on Showtime.
Bears found himself on the floor early in the match after a powerful Woodley takedown. Bears scrambled back to his feet, but Woodley quickly brought the fight back down to the canvas.
Once on the mat, Woodley cycled smoothly from the side to half-mount before locking in an arm-triangle choke. With the hold in place, Woodley shifted out to the side and forced the quick tap from his opponent.
The impressive win moved Woodley to 3-0 under the Strikeforce banner, and a spot on the show's big cards is undoubtedly in his near future.
NOGUEIRA, SADOLLAH AND THIAGO WIN ON UFC UNDERCARD
by Jeff Cain - MMAWeekly.com
Antonio Rogerio Nogueira made the most of his Ultimate Fighting Championship debut, knocking out Luis Cane in the first round.
Nogueira displayed faster, more accurate hands, landing straight lefts that had Cane in full retreat mode. After dropping Cane with a punch, Nogueira followed him to the ground finishing him off with two more shots before referee Steve Mazzagatti called a halt to the action at the 1:56 mark of round one.
“I’ve been training man,” Nogueira commented after the bout. “I just showed how hard I train.”
“The Ultimate Fighter” season 7 winner, Amir Sadollah, ruined Phil Baroni’s return to the Ultimate Fighting Championship Octagon with a clear-cut unanimous decision win.
Baroni came out like he usually does in the opening moments of the fight, aggressive and throwing big punches. Sadollah weathered the early storm and gained control of the fight.
Sadollah landed leg kicks at will and delivered knees from inside the clinch on his way to victory. Baroni’s questionable gas tank became a factor as the fight entered the later rounds.
“It’s a pleasure just stepping in the ring with Baroni and fighting somebody as tough as that,” Sadollah said following the fight. “I like to throw kicks and I felt like it was one part of my game that I could work well.”
Paulo Thiago and Jacob Volkmann had a back and forth battle with Thiago getting the unanimous decision nod due to superior striking, dropping Volkmann on two different occasions.
On the ground, the two put on a display of technical grappling, transitioning from position to position each putting the other in dangerous positions
Despite impressive win Koscheck won't leapfrog Dan Hardy
by Dann Stupp-MMAjunkie.com
LAS VEGAS – Just moments after submitting Anthony Johnson in a performance that would earn him $140,000 in fight-night bonuses, Josh Koscehck called out fellow welterweight contender Dan Hardy and said he deserved a title shot with champion Georges St-Pierre more than the British fighter.
The bravado sparked a mixed reaction from the crowd at Saturday's "UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II" event at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in Las Vegas, including a cageside Hardy, who laughed off the comments.
UFC president Dana White was entertained by the display and said Koscheck remains in the thick of the title picture, but he said Hardy still gets the next shot at the belt.
"I know there's somebody here that thinks he's the No. 1 contender," Koscheck said in his post-fight interview. "He thinks he's the No. 1 contender, but he hasn't fought anybody."
Koscheck then pointed at and acknowledged Hardy, who's 4-0 in the UFC and recently defeated Mike Swick at UFC 105 to earn the title shot.
"He ain't fought nobody like me," Koscheck said. "Guaranteed, I'm the No. 1 freaking contender in the division."
In the night's official post-fight presser, White admitted he has "butted heads" with Koscheck in the past but said he was thoroughly impressed with his ability to fight on after the eyepoke and with his eventual second-round submission victory over Johnson. So much so, in fact, that White issued him a $70,000 "Submission of the Night" bonus (over the worthy Kendall Grove and George Sotiropoulos) and a $70,000 "Fight of the Night" award (over a seemingly obvious winner of Forrest Griffin vs. Tito Ortiz).
"I have to publicly say that this kid always steps up, always wants to fight, fights the best in the world, and I’m blown away with his performance tonight.," said White, who booked the Koscheck vs. Johnson bout with a month's notice after the loss of a would-be headliner of UFC heavyweight champion Brock Lesnar vs. Shane Carwin.
Koscheck has often taken fights on late notice, and such acts usually get a fighter in White's good graces. But don't expect him to scrap plans for St-Pierre vs. Hardy, which White recently told MMAjunkie.com Radio (www.mmajunkie.com/radio) could happen on Feb. 21 at UFC 110 in Australia.
"We already announced the Hardy fight," White told MMAjunkie.com in the post-fight presser. "Hardy gets the next fight. But when I say Koscheck is in the mix, he's be in the mix anyway. He's one of the best 170-pounders in the world and has been for a while."
Koscheck eventually seemed resigned to his fate, and with no title shot on the immediate horizon, he said he'd like to fight again in December or January.
"I guess Dan Hardy is the next in line, so we'll let him fight for the title and see what happens after that," Koscheck said. "I'm not concerned. I just want to fight whoever they put in front of me and put on exciting performances like tonight, so that's my goal."
With the win, Koscheck moves to 14-4 (12-4 UFC) and has rebounded with two straight wins since a recent 3-3 stretch, which included a decision loss to St-Pierre (not the champion at the time) at UFC 74 in 2007.
New WEC champ Jose Aldo auctions fight night items for Brazilian charity
by John Morgan-mmajunkie.com
New WEC featherweight champ Jose Aldo (16-1 MMA, 6-0 WEC) is proudly carrying his new title belt back home to Brazil, but a few items brought to the cage with him on the night he won the 145-pound title can be delivered to your house.
And it's for a good cause.
Aldo and his Nova Uniao team are auctioning off the fight banner used by the new champ at this past Wednesday's "WEC 44: Brown vs. Aldo" event, as well as two hats worn by his cornermen. All three items are autographed by the champ.
Aldo said that 100 percent of the proceeds generated from the auctions will be utilized by the Nova Uniao Community Program in Rio de Janiero, Brazil.
"It's a charity in Brazil," Aldo told MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) through his interpreter and manager, Ed Soares. "We're auctioning off all these items. All the money that's generated from this is going to buy mats and gis and kimonos for all the poor kids that live on the hill so that they're able to train under better circumstances."
Providing training opportunities for the region's less fortunate children is a cause close to Aldo's heart. Prior to becoming the WEC's newest star, the 23-year-old was raised humbly in rural Brazil.
Aldo hopes others will be able to use jiu-jitsu and mixed martial arts as a way to help improve their own situations.
"Coming from the background and the type of childhood that I grew up with, very humble beginnings, it just makes me happy to be able to help my family," Aldo said. "Now with these opportunities that are coming, I'm able to provide and help my family in many ways. It makes me feel good to do that."
In addition to the fight night items, Nova Uniao is currently donating 10 percent of all purchases from the team's official store to the Nova Uniao Community Program.
Bidding for the items ends on Nov. 29. The fight banner and cornermen hats are currently listed on eBay.com.
Dana White Shocked By UFC 106 Judging
Dana White Shocked By UFC 106 Judging, Says Reform Out Of His Hands
by John Morgan-www.mmajunkie.com
LAS VEGAS – It was no Machida vs. "Shogun," but judging once again became the center of attention following a UFC main event.
Immediately after Forrest Griffin was awarded a split-decision victory in the main event of Saturday night's "UFC 106: Ortiz vs. Griffin II," the third-straight UFC feature bout to receive at least one questionable score, UFC president Dana White was forced to try and explain how the final score was reached.
"The fight could have gone either way," White said. "(But) 30-27? I mean that's crazy."
White was referring to the official scorecard of judge Lester Griffin, who awarded Forrest all three rounds of the fight, resulting in the 30-27 total.
"The 30-27 score is outrageous," White said. "It's insane."
White considered the opening frame of the fight the closest of the the three rounds. Griffin landed the better shots on the feet and fended off two takedown attempts, while Ortiz scored an early takedown and landed a few blows before his opponent escaped to the feet.
"It was a close first round," White said. "The first round was tough to score. As soon as that fight was over, all of us that were sitting down were like, 'That was a tough round to score.'"
Judges Glenn Trowbridge and Marcos Rosales each awarded the first frame to Ortiz, 10-9, effectively placing Forrest in the hole after the first five minutes.
White thought the second frame, which featured two Ortiz takedowns and elbow strikes from the top that cut Griffin, was much easier to score.
"Tito clearly won the second round," White said.
Unfortunately for Ortiz, only Trowbridge agreed. Judges Griffin and Rosales each awarded Forrest the round with a score of 10-9.
The final round was clearly Griffin's, and the one-sided nature of the frame left a 10-8 score for the original winner of "The Ultimate Fighter" a real possibility. None of three judges felt inclined to do so, and each penciled in a 10-9 score for Griffin.
"I can understand Forrest getting a 10-8 in that last round," White said. "He dominated that round, and Tito hardly threw any punches that last round. But for anybody to call that fight 30-27, you're out of your mind."
Ortiz, who won the close first round but lost the second in what White felt was a frame clearly in the "Huntington Beach Bad Boy's" favor, felt he had been wronged.
"I thought I won," Ortiz said. "I thought I won the first round, and I thought I won the second round. I got two takedowns. You saw the damage on his face. I got him good."
For Griffin and Ortiz, the split-decision result was the second such instance in the pair's two fights. A rubber match will likely ensue, and the contest will result in a nice payday for each fighter. But when focusing on the big picture, the fight is another instance in which both fighters, promoters and fans clearly are unsure what the judges are watching.
White said he realizes there is a real need for improvement in scoring, but he clarified that the process isn't in his hands.
"Believe me, you're preaching to the choir here," White said. "There's nothing worse than when guys go out and train hard for a fight and lose fights that they won. It drives me nuts.
"That has nothing to do with me, though. The best thing we're doing on our side is that we've got Marc Ratner, and Marc Ratner is out there trying to work with these guys everyday to make it better. I mean, when you watch a fight like this tonight and hear a 30-27 score (for Griffin), I mean – I don't even know. I'm just so exhausted by this whole thing. It's tiring. It's terrible."
White said the controversies regarding recent bouts between Lyoto Machida and Mauricio "Shogun" Rua as well as Randy Couture and Brandon Vera are particularly frustrating because many people feel the UFC executive is involved in the process.
"You should see the emails I get," White said. "'You scumbag. You're just like Don King.' I get literally hundreds of them.
"It's crazy, but that's what people think. People think we pick (fighters) to win or lose and tell the commissions to do it. It couldn't be further from the truth."
For fans hoping for some type of judging reform, White recommends contacting the athletic commissions with demands for change.
"I don't know what to say," White admitted. "If everyone wants to call the (Nevada State) Athletic Commission and talk to (executive director) Keith Kizer – he's the guy you have to ask questions to, not me. ... The reality is you guys have to call Keith Kizer. Call Keith Kizer and asked him what we can to do to fix this judging and scoring.
"These athletic commissions need to start looking at this and figuring out what they're going to do. It's wrong."
Here's the scorecard
