Following UFC 142, which took place at the HSBC Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, MMA fans have been talking about the future of Anthony Johnson, who was submitted in the first round by Vitor Belfort and released from the promotion for missing weight.
It was Johnson’s third time missing weight in the UFC, and with the 27-year-old having planned to make his middleweight debut, it left the UFC no choice but to cut him from its roster.
In the main event, UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo retained his title with a first-round knockout victory over previously unbeaten challenger Chad Mendes.
Other fighters who came up short on the main card include Terry Etim and Mike Massenzio. This is what’s next for them.

Saturday, Jose Aldo returned to his WEC ways by knocking out Chad Mendes in the final second of the very first round.
But what was perhaps even more impressive than the knee that ended the fight was the takedown defense that allowed Aldo to keep the fight on his feet.
Against Mendes, Aldo was supposed to be face an opponent that could take him down and hold him down. But Mendes simply could not outwrestle the champ.
Here is a complete ranking of the wrestling abilities of the seven UFC champions.

UFC 142 in Rio was a great UFC card, and it produced many great fights and moments. Belfort vs. Johnson produced controversy, and I’d like to know why so many blatant bad stand-ups took place.
This fight was set up to be a very entertaining contest. Both fighters are vicious strikers, and have the ability to end fights with one shot.
When the fight started both men came out of the gate fast. Anthony Johnson was throwing huge kicks with bad intentions, and Vitor was throwing his lightning-fast hands in combinations. Johnson landed a takedown early on in the fight, and started to work in shots in Vitor’s guard.
Dan Miragliotta stood them up especially quickly considering that Johnson was actually working and landing strikes.
Shortly after, the fighters ended up in a clinch that Miragliotta broke up fast again. After watching a bunch of Randy Couture’s clinch snooze fests, I was starting to think that something might be up with the refereeing in this fight.
Belfort was able to land a good shot not too long after, and had Anthony Johnson rocked. He survived it, and was able to get the fight to the ground. Dan Miragliotta stood them up less than a minute after despite the fact than once again, Anthony Johnson was working.
Shortly after, Vitor Belfort was able to hurt Johnson and submit him with a rear-naked choke.
Fixing happens in every sport in the world, but its usually concealed very well. I don’t doubt that its happened in the UFC before, and I think that this fight should be looked into.
Vitor Belfort is a larger draw that Anthony Johnson is, that’s a fact. Belfort winning puts more money in the UFC’s pockets.
There are many scenarios and people that would have wanted Belfort to be victorious. Maybe those people gave Mr. Miragliotta a reason to make that happen. Stranger things have happened in the world of sports.

Gabriel Gonzaga should fight in Brazil more often.
The former heavyweight title contender impressed in his octagon return at UFC 142 on Saturday night, picking up a first-round submission victory over undefeated Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) black belt Ednaldo Oliveira.
Gonzaga, a world-renowned BJJ specialist, has been criticized in the past for ignoring his grappling strengths and opting to stand and bang. This certainly wasn’t the case at UFC 142. Fans finally saw a Gonzaga who was committed to getting the fight to the ground and utilizing his submission skills.
There are still a plethora of doubters surrounding Gonzaga’s recent resurgence. Despite a steep skid in recent years, Gonzaga is still a relevant name in the heavyweight division. It’s going to take much more than a submission win over Oliveira to convince fans Gonzaga has finally seen the promised land.
The Brazilian superstar was cut from the UFC back in 2010 following back-to-back losses to Junior Dos Santos and Brendan Schaub.
If Gonzaga has truly learned from past mistakes, he has the skill set to be a dark horse in the heavyweight division.
Here are five fights for him to take next.
