Sanchez Bumped in Favor of Leben

Diego Sanchez has been bumped from the televised portion of UFC 82 to the preliminary card, along with Andrei Arlovski and Josh Koscheck, in favor of the Chris Leben and Alessio Sakara.

The preliminary card looks better than the main card. The fights have serious implications and it's a shame we won't get to see them.

The full fight card is:

MAIN CARD (Televised)

Champ Anderson Silva vs. Dan Henderson (for middleweight title)
Heath Herring vs. Cheick Kongo
Chris Leben vs. Alessio Sakara
Yushin Okami vs. Evan Tanner
Jon Fitch vs. Chris Wilson


PRELIMINARY CARD (Un-televised)

Andrei Arlovski vs. Jake O'Brien
Luke Cummo vs. Luigi Fioravanti
Dustin Hazelett vs. Josh Koscheck
David Bielkheden vs. Diego Sanchez
Jorge Gurgel vs. John Halverson

I cannot believe that Diego Sanchez is getting bumped in favor of Chris Leben. Leban is a great fighter and definitely exciting to watch but I don't think he is more of a draw than Diego. Not to mention the fact that Diego is the better fighter. Preliminary bouts definitely sound better than the main card. Dana Whites at it again. Besides, he hates golfers therefore I hate him!!!!!!!

YES dude!!!!!!! He said all this shit in an interview that I read in Playboy. He was asked about leisure activities and if he plays golf like most athletes. He said releatedly how much he hates golf. Stressed it. Not only did he bash golf in general but he had some not so very kind words to say about golfers. Said we were pussies and fags. Thought I told you this. He's a fuckin' douche bag!

I would put my money on Tiger Woods in a fight against Dana White. Even though he's a boxer, Tiger probably has some green beret techniques that his dad taught him. Plus Dana White woudn't make it through one of Tiger's workouts.
