I forget about the injury during the Alves fight. I still don't like the fact he's coaching on TUF though. Belt holders should never coach on TUF.

Exactly, too much time in between fights.

It has been a disturbing trend having champs fight once or twice a year, and I thought after Rampage vs Griffin Danna said that no champions would ever coach a TUF series again because it was too long between defenses?

O well, it sucks more for the contenders than anything else. Now Jon Fitch has to wait a year to get destroyed by GSP (again). That is even if he can get by Alves.

No way that fight happens in September...Sweet if it does....But more than likely it would be early next year...March/April would be realistic.

Reports are it wont be in September. Rampage/Lil Nog will most likely headline 119.

It wont be March/April either unless the two guys get injured. More likely to happen in Nov. at the earliest or the Year End show in Vegas.

Really? Which reports have Lesnar vs. Velasquez not happening in September?
