UFC 111 “St-Pierre vs Hardy” – Georges St. Pierre returns to the cage to defend his UFC welterweight belt against Englishman Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy this Saturday night at the Prudential Center in Newark, NJ. Also a heavyweight fight between Frank Mir and undefeated Shane Carwin that will decide who takes on Brock Lesnar when he returns this summer.
Cagetoday.com will have live results beginning at 8pm EST.
Thiago Alves is scheduled to undergo brain surgery to correct a abnormality that was discovered in a MRI required for his fight with Jon Fitch at UFC 111.
TMZ spoke with Alves moments ago, who told us, “I went and saw a specialist this morning who told me I need to have the minor procedure.” We’re told the procedure will be done in New York.
Alves says he expects to be sidelined from fighting for three weeks — but expects to be back in the gym in two. We asked Alves if he thought a blow to the head from his recent fight with Georges St-Pierre may have caused his condition and he told us, “I don’t think so.” [TMZ]
