Travis Browne  looked to clearly be injured in his fight with Antonio Silva, as he wasn’t able to put pressure on his left leg. Browne said that he felt on the first kick that he attempted his left hamstring pop three times. This was his first defeat in his career and he wanted give credit to Silva though for coming in and getting the win. When Browne was asked if it was his leg or the punches as for the reason he couldn’t get back up he made it clear that he didn’t want to take anything away from Silva. Browne wanted it to be known that he is still the same fighter and will come back even tougher in his next fight.

Dana White is happy with Jake Ellenberger and how he performed tonight because  everyone knows how tough Jay Hieron is and Jake fought smart. Jake himself was questioned as to his approach because it was a much more surgical method to him tonight compared to some of his past fights say Diego Sanchez for example.

Johnson was very appreciative for the knock out of the night honors especially since his air conditioning in his car is out and it is still hot in Florida. Johnson says he left his hand low and Castillo caught him. The choke was tight but he wasn’t going to give in. Johnson had won his previous two fights and didn’t want to lose the moment he had been building.

Dana White was asked of the situations that the UFC has to deal with such as Dennis Hallman not making weight and Jeremy Stephens being arrested. The UFC president says that this is the kind of stuff he now has to deal with every day. Dana White topped it off when he stated he said “when I get up now it is like a soap opera.” That is the struggles the company and he must deal with when they have 475 fighters on contract.

Dana respects everyone who fights and who has helped them get where they are today. The UFC will do anything for their guys and he gave the example with Hallman that even though they hadn’t always seen eye to eye he is going to help. Hallman has some serious personal issues to take care of and that is why he was given his show money and his win bonus before he was released from his contract after failing to make weight.

The UFC has their sights set on India in 2013. They are looking to take both the UFC events over there and The Ultimate Fighter franchise.

Dana White then went into the situation of the day about Jeremy Stephens and his arrest. The UFC president had received a call this morning informing him of Stephens arrest. Stephens was picked up yesterday afternoon for a felony arrest warrant out of Des Moines, IA. Dana felt that this was set up on purpose since Stephens had been in town since Monday and could have picked up at any time. White spent the day negotiating and agreeing to many things including as he called it an “astronomical” amount of money only to have them change their demands.

If you are a part of the UFC then he will have your back. White had even offered up to such things flying him to Des Moines, and having armed police escort him to and from the event. White had a hard time accepting that he couldn’t get him bailed out. This was, as he put it, an assault charge and he hadn’t gone on a killing spree. He even brought up the fact that Floyd Mayweather Jr. had been convicted and got to pick when he went to jail. Dana White was so set on being able to get him out that was the reason for his anger towards the media who were reporting that the fight was off.

The UFC will also take care of  Yves Edwards who was told 35 minutes before the main event that his fight was off and Dana personally feels it is an honor to work with him. Edwards will get his show money and will be given a fight soon. “I don’t care if we have to have 37 fights on  one card” according to White.

I will try to get the whole video up shortly.

The fight card tonight lost the match up between Dennis Hallman and Thiago  Tavares. Hallman failed to make weight yesterday for his fight and was released from his UFC contract. Hallman blamed the failed weight cut on personal issues. Tavares was removed from the card since he didn’t have an opponent to face. As reported by bjpenn.com Hallman passed out trying to cut the last two pounds and was given an IV after that he ballooned up 7 pounds and asked Dana White to be removed from the card.

In other news it is being reported that Jeremy “Little Heathen” Stephens was arrested last night at the host hotel last night. Stephens is scheduled to face Yves Edwards tonight. Stephens supposedly had an outstanding warrant in another state. Dana White posted to twitter a little over an hour ago, “Don’t listen to the media! Nobody ever told them Jeremy isn’t fighting. He is fighting!![sic]” It seems like that fight is scheduled to go on but we will see what kind of mental shape Stephens will be in if he did indeed spend a night in jail.

The UFC website has removed the Stephens vs Edwards fight and the event will now being at 5pm et/ 2pm pt. Now it is back. Main event and Stephens vs Edwards is all that is left other than the main event so it doesn’t look like we will get to see it.

Winner by TKO at 3:27 of round 1 Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva

Following on from last Saturday’s heavyweight thriller, which saw Stefan Struve knock out Stipe Miocic, two other top heavyweight contenders collide as undefeated Travis Browne takes on Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva.

The 6ft 7inch, 250lbs-plus Browne has showed rapid improvements to both his striking and submission games, knocking out Struve and tapping Chad Griggs in two of his last three fights.

Meanwhile, “Bigfoot” has the opportunity to reassert himself at the top of the division with a victory and, able to match size with Browne, will be looking to unleash the devastating ground and pound which famously accounted for his win over Fedor Emelianenko.

In the co-main event, top welterweight contender Jake Ellenberger has a chance to avenge his first professional defeat when he takes on the returning Jay Hieron. Ellenberger – a winner of 10 of his last 12 fights – has thunderous power in his fists and has stopped the likes of Mike Pyle and Jake Shields. Hieron, though, is more motivated than ever in his first UFC fight in seven years and is in the form of his life, having only dropped one controversial split decision since 2007.

Also on the four-fight FX card, elite flyweights John Dodson and Jussier Formiga clash in a fight to determine the No.1 contender for newly-minted UFC 125lbs champion Demetrious Johnson. Dodson believes he is the one man in the division who can match speed with the reigning champ, but first must contend with the other-worldly submission skills of the best flyweight in Brazil, the 27-year-old Formiga.

Travis Browne said: “I’m happy to be back. I haven’t fought since April and missed out on a huge opportunity when my opponent dropped out of UFC on FOX. But fighting Bigfoot on FX – in the main event – is a great opportunity for me, too. The heavyweight division is more stacked than ever, it is so hard to get into the top five right now, and everyone is looking so impressive, so you have to be consistently impressive.

“I’ve had some good wins, and I’ve had wins where I wish I could have shown more. The key now is to fight at the best of my ability for every fight. I’ve got a huge chance against a big name in Bigfoot, he’s beaten some top guys, and I’ve got to go out there and show the best of myself. I’m always looking to finish, but if it goes five rounds I am ready.

“If I do that, I know I can impress and move up the rankings. I feel I am better than ever and it is my time to shine.”

“Bigfoot” Silva said: “This is a very important fight for me, and I won’t let it go past the second round. It is a five round fight but, five rounds or three rounds, I don’t like decisions on my record. I will do my best to finish Travis Browne inside two rounds. He’s the second or third person I’ve fought who is bigger than me, but it does not matter, it is no problem. I know I can take him down to the ground and ground and pound him – for sure that is where I am very dangerous. But I have been training very, very hard on my standup. He is a very tough guy, undefeated, but I am so, so confident I will beat him inside two rounds.”

Jake Ellenberger said: “I’m a completely different fighter from the one he beat all that time ago. He’s a different fighter, too, so the first fight has nothing to do with Friday. I’m going to be happy to avenge that defeat, for sure, but it isn’t like I’ve been thinking about it since the fight. I feel I can win this fight and get back to the top of the division and challenge for the title. That’s the reason I am here.

“I know I can compete with the best but I will never look past any opponent. That is where you lose consistency and have disappointing fights. I’ve learned to be more patient when I hurt someone, and I feel I’ve tightened up a lot of things since my last fight. I realize now I’ve got 15 minutes to finish fights and I think you’ll see this new maturity in my fight this Friday.”

Jay Hieron said: “I’ve never had anything handed to me, and I’m glad it went this way. It is a shame UFC 151 got cancelled, as it would have been cool to fight in my hometown of Vegas, but I am just glad I’m going to fight in the UFC. I always believed I belonged in the UFC, that I was as good as the guys in the UFC.

“It is tough, living in Vegas, living in the UFC’s home town, and seeing all these big cards all the time. I have cornered on big UFC shows and wondered when I would be back in the Octagon myself. I had people ask me if I was an amateur fighter, because why wasn’t I in the UFC? I’ve had great runs, beaten top guys, but it just wasn’t my time. Either I was signed or I was injured, it just never worked out for me to come back to the UFC, but I never got deterred.

“I couldn’t ask for a better comeback fight than Ellenberger. I beat him before, and I will beat him again. I fought him back in 2006 and he was a hot prospect, he didn’t know he could lose and I beat him on points. I know he’s super-tough, and a much different fighter with a ton of experience, but I know I can beat him again. I know him very, very well.

“I beat him in our fight and then I cornered Mike Pyle and Martin Kampmann against him. Jake’s last loss was to Martin and we spent a lot of time breaking down Jake’s style so Martin could take advantage of his weaknesses. I feel I know what Jake brings to the Octagon as well as anyone. I taught him how to lose.”

John Dodson said: “This is a huge fight for me, and a big one for the division, a No1 contender’s match. Right now, everyone is trying to figure out who is who in the 125lbs class. Who fits where and who belongs at the top. Formiga is the best fighter in Brazil, he’s got phenomenal BJJ and his striking has improved a lot too. I will prove why I deserve the title shot. I think he will try to strike, because he cannot take me down. Not him, not anyone. Many have tried, all have failed.

“I want the fight against DJ. We are the two fastest fighters in the UFC and I want to match my speed against his. Some people say he’s the fastest, some people say I am. We got to fight to see who is the fastest. I really want to match what I got against what he’s got. But I have to make a statement Friday night against Formiga. I will knock him out. If I stop him – or can you imagine if I tap him out – I’m doing a triple summersault – a 360 – off the cage.”

Jussier Formiga said: “I’ve been waiting for this chance to fight in the UFC for years and, finally, there is a flyweight division so I can showcase my skills. I know Dodson is a powerful striker and is very fast, but I am a BJJ and judo black belt and am looking forward to the fight. I’ve been working very hard on my punches and have a good uppercut, and I am looking forward to showing this in the fight. I am looking forward to the whole UFC experience. I can’t wait to show the UFC fans what I can do.”
