Holy cow, the old I hurt my shoulder excuse. Well, I can't blame Victor. in fact, I have to applaud him for taking my advice and salvaging his career. Zapp, no props for advising Victor to sit this one out and then him promptly listening to me?

news broke about 6 hours before adolf started this thread. Not sure i should trust that the old crafty ball coach didnt know about this before starting this.

LOL - he loses credibility (not that he had much in the eyes of most of us).

I noticed this now knowing of the news already and figuring this was bogus.

its kinda smart though if you think about it he can practice more against anderson silva and get ready for the title instead of losing now and having no chance in the future. i thought he had a chance at first cause hes a good counter striker

Vitor, the same guy who refused to fight Gayguard Mousasi at 195 catch weight because he felt that he should only fight at 185. A month later he was up for a fight with Fedor at hwt. How genuine this guy is. Sure a lot of US fighters have great respect for the man, but I called shenanigans on his excuse to not fight Mousasi.

If we could get MMA reporter to resume breaking these types of stories in a timely fashion, this mix up wouldnt happen. For a while there, PJersey was trying to keep up with him but eventually opted to silence the MMA reporter as a result of repeatedly being out scooped. This is hurting the board IMO.

And for the record, I didn't find out about Bellfour pulling out until 10 hours after I posted my plea to him.
