Too bad ninja can’t fight but I think Villasenor is a good replacement.

What’s up with the Rua brothers? They are two of my favorite fighters and they just can’t stay healthy.

you’re right. ninja had to back out of two fights already and shogun had to back out of his fight with liddell. knee’s are tricky and i hope this second surgery will fix the problem.
