The UFC limps into Vegas this weekend for what is supposed to be their best show of the year. Instead the injury bug has cut it down to a mediocre one at best.

Is Mike Swick in a lose-lose situation against Paulo Thiago?
If you haven’t heard, Kos is out of his UFC 109 fight with Paulo Thiago due to an undisclosed injury. His fearless buddy Mike Swick is stepping up to take his place.

TUF 10 Sucked: Here’s Why and How to fix it
This is the tenth season of The Ultimate Fighter. The UFC’s can’t miss weekly reality show is losing its luster, and fast! To be honest, you could probably say that it lost it a long time ago. This season was supposed to be the one that generated the most popularity, was to be the unveiling of Kimbo, and the search for the next Brock.
