– Replacing the unfortunately injured Jose Aldo at UFC 125 against Josh Grispi will be Dustin Poirier, an 8-1 featherweight prospect who just knocked out Zach Micklewright in 53 seconds earlier this month at WEC 52: Faber vs. Mizugaki. Chris Leben vs. Brian Stann will now be the event’s co-headliner, in support of the Frankie Edgar vs. Gray Maynard lightweight title fight.

– Coming off an ugly knockout loss against George Roop at WEC 51, "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung has his win-or-go-home fight booked, as he’ll be taking on Rani Yahya at Fight for the Troops 2 on January 22nd. It’ll be the only fight on the card where you won’t be able to chant "U!S!A!" in support of at least one of the fighters. Expect a lot of fans in the arena to make trips to the bathroom.

George Roop landed a vicious left kick to Chan Sung Jung‘s head in the second round of their fight at WEC 51, knocking Jung unconscious and ending the fight suddenly and dramatically.

Jung, better known as The Korean Zombie, became a fan favorite for his brawl with Leonard Garcia at WEC 48. But that fight was full of sloppy technique and lacking in any defense, and Roop showed against Jung how easy it is for a fighter to exploit those problems.
