Shogun vs Vera to replace Thiago Silva & other MMA Oddities

You know the size and skill mismatches of Pride were paid for with every fight ended by knees or stomps to the head of a downed opponent.

In case you hadn't heard, Mauricio "Shogun" Rua is no longer fighting Thiago " submits non-human piss for a PED test" Silva.
Instead, Shogun will face Brandon" I was once a heavyweight but haven't done much since hugging Couture for 3 rounds and getting my face cracked in multiple places by Jon Jones" Vera at the UFC on Fox 4 in August.

Oh, and this just in, Josh "everytime I leave the big show of the UFC it's because I get LNP'd by better wrestlers" Neer says this time he's figured out how to beat the boring lay n' pray wrestlers!
He's going to hit them in the face.
I'm not kidding. That's basically what he says in the interview.
Man, those LNP wrestlers will never know this is the NEW plan for them!
Unless they read this post. Damn.

Ian McCall is excited to finally finish/decide that fight with Demetrious Johnson (that guy that Dominic Cruz is just a little bit better at than everything and beat with a broken hand) that they made special rules for so it would have to be decided that night...but then a judging/scoring/adding up fucking numbers with a pencil and paper mistake happaned and they have to fight. again.
