Where in the World is WAMMA?

The World Alliance of Mixed Martial Arts, or WAMMA as it is more commonly known, was officially announced on November 15, 2007. In the years following WAMMA crowned its first heavyweight and lightweight champions. However, in recent time the value of these titles have come into question. So what is WAMMA and more importantly, where have they gone?

Demian Maia confirmed as Vitor Belfort’s replacement

With Vitor Belfort having to pull out of UFC 112 due to a shoulder injury, the UFC were starting to sweat on a replacement. Speculation even loomed that a match with current UFC middleweight champ Anderson Silva may even be pulled from UFC 112 altogether.

Today however, UFC officials announced that Demian Maia will be replacing Belfort and the fight will still be for the Middleweight belt. Maia is coming fresh off a victory at UFC 109 against Dan Miller.
