The UFC returned to Florida on Saturday for the first time in nearly two years on with a loaded fight card at Orlando, Fla.’s Amway Center. Arguably the best FOX fight card to date, the event featured a number significant matchups, but none more important than the main event, in which Fabricio Werdum (18-5-1 MMA, 6-2 UFC) continued to surprise naysayers with a dominant decision win over fellow heavyweight Travis Browne (16-2-1- MMA, 7-2-1 UFC). “Hapa” was pegged as the next major threat to Cain Velasquez’s heavyweight title; however, it was Werdum who emerged as the next challenger by out-striking Browne on the feet and controlling him on the ground

BAD MMA News — Mon, 30 Dec 2013 21:14:10 +0000

Not surprisingly, former middleweight champion Anderson Silva leads the list of fighters issued medical suspensions following UFC 168. Silva suffered one of the most gruesome injuries in the history of the sport when he broke his left leg kicking champion Chris Weidman in the second round of the main event. Silva left the octagon on a stretcher and was taken immediately to a hospital to undergo surgery. Silva will be out for six months and must have his leg cleared by a doctor, according to medical suspensions received today from the Nevada State Athletic Commission, which oversaw this past Saturday’s UFC 168 at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas

40 post-event facts about ‘UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva II’

BAD MMA News — Sun, 29 Dec 2013 17:09:59 +0000

“UFC 168: Weidman vs. Silva II” was the UFC’s final event of 2013, and even after a loaded year of fights, it was perhaps the most anticipated of all 33 events over the past 12 months. While the main event between middleweight champion Chris Weidman (11-0 MMA, 7-0 UFC) and Anderson Silva (33-6 MMA, 16-2 UFC) was among the most hyped rematches in MMA history, it ended in disappointing and shocking fashion when “The Spider” went down with a horrifying leg injury after the champ checked a leg kick. It was the first main event since UFC 90 to end via injury, and the gruesome image of Silva on the floor holding his leg while screaming in agony will be burned into the memories of MMA fans forever.
