DIEGO SANCHEZ BROKEN COLLAR-BONE SURGERY PICTURE WARNING GRAPHIC

UFC Lightweight athlete Diego Sanchez was going about his normal training routine on Monday 26th January, when he shot in for a double leg take down and got hit with a hard knee breaking his collar-bone during the training session.

**WARNING GRAPHIC PICTURE**

The surgery was a success. Diego is praying for a fast recovery (usually around 16 weeks) so training can resume.

We would like to wish Diego a speedy and healthy recovery, as I for one can not wait to see him back in the octagon where he belongs.

BISPING UP FOR A ‘FIGHT’ WITH NICK DIAZ

According to his Twitter, UFC middleweight fighter Michael Bisping tweeted out the following :

After his [Diaz] defeat at the Weekend, it was stated he went Into the fight Injured with his left arm and was also considering what he would like to do next [due to the fact that, yes he is on a losing streak but his last fights have gone to decisions, which in his own words ‘ How do they score fights nowadays’. ]

Also, Nick will now have to answer to an NSAC hearing due to him failing his post fight medical after his five round fight with Anderson Silva [for which Anderson Silva failed a pre fight medical test before the fight].

Also this was the first time Nick had moved up to 185 lbs – Middleweight division as he is a 170 lbs welterweight fighter. Believing this to be a one time ‘fight’ at the 185 lbs – Middleweight division, but this is Nick Diaz we are talking about!

I, for one hope everything works out for Nick Diaz and he gets his break he actually deserves.

As for Michael Bisping wanting to ‘fight’ him – only time will tell.

SARAH KAUFMAN DON’T BE SCARED ‘CUPCAKE’ TWEET

In the latest of athlete’s to take to Twitter, I came across UFC female Bantamweight athlete Sarah Kaufman who had this to say:

Although to get the full appreciation you will have to go to Sarah’s Instagram page as it contained a 15 second Instavideo. I have attached three pictures from this video, which is also accompanied by some ‘fitting’ music. Enjoy. 🙂

Guess we will have to wait and see how long Miesha is out for with her Injury from the weekend. If Miesha responds and of course if Sean Shelby is considering the match up at all.
