So basically it says...due to a persistent knee problem, Anderson might have to pull out. They say Bisping is ready to step in if needed.

This injury wave plague is sick.  I'm sick if Anderson pulls out.  I knew he wasn't enthusiastic about it from the first.  He was probably pressured to take the rematch by Dana.

I am sick with disappointment if this doesn't happen.  I'm an MMA fan, too.  I hate this crap as much as everyone else.  But I did caution that this might happen.  There are several other things that I fear and dread will happen but am afraid if I verbalize them, everyone will hate on me as if I'm jinxing stuff.

But I did tell you so.

uh oh.

i think they're safe, karma's already ****** 'em over by that judge screw up that prevented the 4th round from happening.

By the way, if that 4th round happened I'm sure Mighty Mouse vs Uncle Creepy I would've been one of the top 10 greatest fights of all-time, I'm sure of it.

FrontRowBrian says he talked to Chael and he doesn't know anything, UFC hasn't talked to him. He says its just AS playing mind games... who knows

Man, I think Anderson is just full of **** personally, he realizes Chael has his number. He knows Chael 9 times out of 10 would beat him. Im not even a Chael Sonnen fan, but seriously. The best 'P4P fighter in the world' needs to step up. The biggest rematch in MMA history, the fight everyone wants to see. So lets start rumors about MAYBE stepping out of the fight when theres like what? Less than a month away? I dont believe this injury and unlike his previous one I believe it is fabricated to keep his title of P4P king intact.

Ground training and maybe TDs and TDD. Going for, or defending TDs is a GREAT way to get badly injured quickly. Some fighters don't even waste the energy defending them so if you look at their numbers they appear to suck, but they just prefer to save the energy and focus their abilities on reversals and subs. I am one of those guys.

What really sucks is if Silva losses there is already an excuse.

The only persistent problem that Anderson is worried about is Chael Sonnen.

I hope the fight doesnt happen! As @MadMike said, WHEN Chael Sonnen beats Silva ... theres already an excuse lined up. Andersons whole team will start spewing verbal **** from their mouths involving excuses.

Who care if there's an excuse? Anderson and his camp probably made the excuse. If he doesn't pull out of the fight than it wasn't that good of an excuse. No one else is making any excuse for him.
