UFC 108 just wasn't meant to be. Carlos Condit is the latest victim. Apparently he cut his hand on sheet metal. Dustin Hazelett will step in to face Paul Daley. I like the new match-up better. Condit has not impressed me at all since joining the UFC. He seems overpowered . Hoelzer Reich, the clothing company who uses suggestive "German Pride" imagery that just about everyone other than them thinks is Nazish, has been banned from UFC, WEC, and Strikeforce events. They should send a letter of thanks to the UFC's editing team for letting one of their shirts hit the air during The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale. That really set things in motion. The ratings for The Ultimate Fighter 10 Finale were good, but not great. MMAPayout thinks Kimbo's drawing power might be waning. The UFC needs to get him a KO victory on Spike TV before going the PPV route. It'll be two years in May since he finished a fight and people have short memories. According to WEC General Manager Reed Harris, Jens Pulver is not retired and he will fight for the promotion in 2010.
