Rampage was replaced by Fabio Maldonado on the epic card, who showed great heart but was ultimately destroyed by the skills of Texeira. After the fight, Teixeira stated he stills wants the fight, but only if Rampage shows up motivated and in shape, something he has not done as of recent. Rampage and Dana White both
UFC Welterweight Martin Kampmann is no stranger to living on the edge.

The card ended with a pair of major knockouts by Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Lyoto “The Dragon”
It is ironic that on the Fourth of July that an American and an Englishman are talking about fighting. That is exactly what happened today between American Brian Stann and British Michael Bisping, however.
Bisping’s recovery from recent knee surgery is going well and the Middleweight contender revealed on the UFC Tonight show that he has a couple of opponents in mind: “I was speaking to Joe Silva quite recently, and I’m hoping to fight at UFC 152 in Toronto. I suggested a couple of
