The welterweight bout between Paulo Thiago and Johny Hendricks scheduled for the March 3 UFC on Versus 3 card in Louisville, Ky. has been scrapped due to Thiago suffering an elbow injury.
“Extremely disappointed that Paulo Thiago pulled out of the fight vs. Johny Hendricks. It was gonna be a great fight!” Hendricks’ Team Takedown management tweeted Wednesday night.

It looks like Diego Sanchez broke his promise and will be staying at welterweight, at least for the time being.

It looks like Diego Sanchez broke his promise and will be staying at welterweight, at least for the time being.
Sanchez will take on Martin Kampmann in the main event on March 3 on the next UFC on Versus card. CagePotato.com was able to confirm the initial report with sources close to the fight who indicated that bout agreements have been received and they are in the process of signing.
Coming off of a decisive unanimous decision victory over Paulo Thiago at UFC 121 in October, Sanchez, who alongside Forrest Griffin was one of the two winners of the first season of The Ultimate Fighter as a middleweight, dropped down to lightweight in 2009. After running through the division and securing a title shot against then-champion, BJ Penn, Sanchez was dominated for five rounds by "The Prodigy" before being stopped via a cut at the midway point of the final frame.
After the bout, Sanchez decided that a move up to welterweight would likely be a more expedient route to a second shot at UFC gold considering the lineup forming behind Penn, so he took a tune-up fight against up-and-coming undefeated Brit, John Hathaway. The fight proved to be tougher than Sanchez anticipated as he was handed a loss by "The Hitman" who threw a wrench into his welterweight plans.
Now "The Nightmare" will have to avoid the crosshairs of another "Hitman" looking to climb the welterweight ranks by beating him.

At UFC 121, Paulo Thiago executed a rarely seen sweep (in MMA) when he put both his feet on Diego Sanchez‘s hips and flipped Sanchez on his back. More commonly called a “monkey flip” in pro wrestling, a less-exaggerated version of the move utilized by Thiago Saturday is actually referred to as a “balloon sweep” in Brazilian jiu-jitsu.
Let’s take a look at how the balloon sweep works after the jump.

The last time I heard a crowd go as crazy as the fans in Anaheim did when Cain Velasquez beat Brock Lesnar at UFC 121, they were all getting free cars from Oprah. The fight fans on Saturday night may have had to drive home in the same boring old rides they came in, but after that furious four-minute main event I guarantee you no one was complaining.
But UFC 121 gave us more to talk about than just the main event. All across the undercard careers were being salvaged and lost, and at least one fighter managed to leave the Octagon victorious but still riding a wave of boos.
Let’s break it all down and look at our big winners, losers, and everything in between.

ANAHEIM – Cain Velasquez came into his heavyweight title fight at UFC 121 hoping for a five-round battle. He ended up needing just over four minutes to stop Brock Lesnar via TKO and claim the UFC heavyweight title in front of 14,856 fans at the Honda Center on Saturday night.
It may have been a relatively brief affair, but what it lacked in length it more than made up for in intensity.
Lesnar set the pace right away. As soon as the bout began, the champion took one step directly to the side and then charged across the cage at Velasquez, bringing all of his 264 pounds crashing directly into the challenger.
