Man. I hereby ban all UFC fighters from sparring.
What else is going to stop this Bubonic plague of injuries sweeping over the promotion?
Two tweets today from the Big Boss less than two hours apart sum it up:
Now Aldo is out with foot injury. Main and co main in the same day!! Another amazing day at the UFC. We have some work to do

UFC 153 is scheduled for Oct. 13 at HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The main event was supposed to be Jose Aldo defending his featherweight title against Frankie Edgar and the co main event was to be Quinton “Rampage” Jackson vs. Glover Teixeira.
Teixeira commented on losing his opponent:
“I am upset about Rampage, I am in shape I’m healthy. And I pray to God so I don’t get any injury, I’ll fight whoever.”
Now that Aldo and Rampage are out, who would you like to see step up for these fights?
