By now you've heard the news that Mark Coleman has been forced to pull out of his UFC 87 fight against Brock Lesnar due to a torn MCL. I guess that's the risk in promoting a fight featuring a 43-year-old five months in advance.

Every season of the "The Ultimate Fighter" always seems to have a happy-go-lucky guy who comes off as just feeling blessed to be on the show. There's also usually a guy who gets a second chance to chase his dream due to an injury or some kind of controversy.

Some of the highlights include:

Last week, I was tipped off by a reliable source that Nate Quarry was being considered as a replacement for Chris Leben should his legal troubles get worse. Well, I think it's officially safe to say that Leben's problems have worsened.
MMAMania.com is reporting that Leben was sentenced today to 35 ...

When I first saw Matthew "Chipper" Riddle crush Dan Simmler's jaw on in the second episode of TUF 7, I quickly thought to myself: "That kid's going far in this tournament." I think it was a mix between the smug smile on his face and the excessive TV time he ...

Did you hear? Charles McCarthy isn't impressed with Michael Bisping. Also, Bisping thinks McCarthy runs his mouth too much. Oh, and McCarthy wants to put Bisping to sleep...Give these two credit, though, as they've definitely surpassed Lutter-Franklin in the hype department for UFC 83. Solid trash-talking between two combatants can ...

You know what really pisses me off? All this boxing vs. MMA talk. So, you can imagine how I feel about the prospects of UFC Middleweight champion, Anderson Silva, fighting former pound-for-pound boxing king, Roy Jones Jr. Why are we so obsessed with answering this "debate" anyways? I don't see ...

Word on the street, according Dave Meltzer's Wrestling Observer Newsletter, is that "Rachelle Leah of UFC All Access will be doing a Playboy cover."
