JON JONES IS OUT OF THE RASHAD FIGHT

Breaking News for the UFC, Jon "Bones" Jones has made an announcement that he will not be able to Fight Rashad Evans at UFC 133 due to an injury.

After reports of him and his brother wrestling in there hotel recently. I'm wondering if he will be able to come back and keep the same tempo that he has going for him. He has told media that it was pre-existing problem and want to take the time out to fix it before it's too late.

 Jones has recently tweeted this comment, "For the few that are accusing me of dodging a fight, remember God has not given me the spirit of fear but of power, love and a sound mind" He obviously has the right mind set and will overcome this. As for now let's see if Rashad is ready to fight Phil Davis. Phil has agreed to take Jones's spot at UFC 133

Donald Brashear, an enforcer for the N.H.L has a deal to fight MMA set for early June in Quebec. He still has to pass a medical and get a licence from the Quebec authorities. Brashear a brawler of sorts has played for teams like Montreal, Philadelphia, Washington, Vancouver and the Rangers.

The 6'3, 237 lb Brashear had 2,634 penalty minutes in 1,025 N.H.L games from 1993 to 2010, adding 85 goals and 120 assists. In my opinion a man at 39 years of age shouldn't be allowed to be able to enter the octagon. There's plenty of fish in the pool that have been training for several years and don't get a shot at it. To me this is publicity stunt and it shouldn't be allowed.

There should be rules set for these such instances where you need to be actively training for MMA for a minimum of at least 5 years.
