UFC just cant get a break these days…. Chael step in?
i thought Davis was going to handle forrest anyway… i wonder if they replace it.
Bad break for the UFC. I guess Griffin’s TRT didn’t make him invincible after all.
Time for Sonnen to step in and fight Phil Davis, then benchpress a bus, and cap it off by beating Jones for the belt after the highest rated season of TUF ever!
